Plastics & Rubber
Thermal properties such as melting, crystallization, curing, glass transition, decomposition, expansion, and shrinkage directly impact the performance and lifespan of plastics and rubbers. DSC analysis of glass transition and melting temperatures is useful for selecting materials suited for specific temperature conditions. Expansion and shrinkage measurements allow for the calculation of thermal expansion coefficients. TG-DSC/DTA helps assess the effects of additives on heat resistance and thermal degradation, contributing to manufacturing process improvements and recycling technology development. Additionally, TG-DSC/DTA is widely used for quantifying carbon content, organic content, and ash content in rubber materials.
TMA measurements evaluate mechanical properties such as expansion and shrinkage under service temperature conditions, aiding in material selection and product enhancement. Sample observation analysis captures shape, flow, and color changes (e.g., yellowing) due to temperature variations. When combined with a water vapor generator, TG-DSC/DTA and TMA can assess humidity-induced effects on glass transition, decomposition, expansion, and shrinkage.
