DSC Testing of Plastics and Polymers

Thermal Testing of Plastics and Polymers > Polymer and Plastics DSC Thermal Properties Testing

Differential Scanning Calorimeter is used on client plastics and polymers samples by Intertek laboratories for determination of:

Heat of Fusion for plastics and polymers
Crystallization
Melting Point
Glass Transition of plastic and polymer samples
DSC Tests include:
- ASTM D3418
- ASTM E1356
- ISO 11357
- and more
Combined with FTIR analysis, a DSC thermal scan can further identify certain materials by their melting points, but also provides an additional analysis of plastic parts and resins for contamination not seen by FTIR. DSC is also used to characterize polymeric materials for their thermal performance.

Thermal Analysis of Plastics and Polymers includes:

Coefficient of Thermal Expansion
- ASTM E 831, ASTM D 696, ASTM E 1545, ISO 11359
Heat Deflection Temperature HDT
Deflection Temperature Under Load DTUL
- ASTM D648, ISO 75
Melting Point and Glass Transition Temperature by Differential Scanning Calorimetry DSC
- ASTM D3417, ASTM D 3418, ISO 11357, ISO 3146 / Method C
Vicat Softening Point ASTM D1525, ISO 306
Thermogravametric Analysis TGA
- ASTM E1131, ISO 11358
Thermal Stability ASTM D3575
Thermal Relaxation Mil-P-25690B
UL Thermal Indexing programs
And more
