Thermal analysis methods measure physical, mechanical, chemical, and thermodynamic changes taking place under differing temperatures and loads, and can pinpoint when and at what temperature significant changes occur. Our thermal analysis services remove uncertainty by identifying important characteristics in your non-metallic materials, help you anticipate changes, and avoid issues before they become failures.

 

What is thermal analysis method?

Thermal analysis uses a combination of heat and mechanical force to track changes in material structure and helps determine if materials are appropriate for the intended application or use. By using a model of temperature over time, these methods provide accurate data about glass transition temperature (Tg), coefficient of linear thermal expansion (CTE), specific heat, melting temperature, phase transitions, and more. 

Thermal analysis methods are also useful for identifying unknown materials, answering questions about the molecular structures of crystalline and amorphous polymers, and aiding in new composite materials research and development. 

 

Why is thermal analysis important? 

Plastics and rubbers can be particularly difficult to characterize due to their unique properties. Because of the fluid nature of these materials, understanding their properties is vital. Thermal analysis methods provide insight into how materials can be used and stored.
