Thermal Analysis
The Thermal Analysis Division of Integrity Testing Laboratory was formed in 1994 and provides a wide range of testing capabilities, including Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC), Thermogravimetry (TG) or Thermal Gravimetric Analysis (TGA), Thermomechanical Analysis (TMA) and more. These thermal analysis techniques are used to characterize the thermal behaviour of plastics, rubbers, polymers and related products and materials as function of temperature.
We serve the following industries:
- Automotive
- Electronic & Electrical
- Plastics & Polymers
- Adhesives & Rubbers
- Paints & Coatings
ITL Thermal Analysis Division is well aware of the problems typical for these industries. And even more, we solve them.
DSC:
- Melting Temperature
- Glass Transition Temperature
- Degree of Crystallinity
- Degree of Curing / Crosslinking
- Aging, Degradation & Thermal History
TG / TGA
- Thermal Stability
- Material Composition (polymers, fillers, carbon black, etc.)
- Moisture / Volatile Content
- Volatility of Additives
- Lifetime & Performance Prediction
TMA
- Coefficient of Thermal Expansion
- Material Transitions
- Delamination Temperature
- Degree of Polymer Hardness with Temperature
- Relative degree of crosslinking
