Evaluation of Plastic Materials

Analysis of Plastic Samples Using Thermal Analyzers
Plastics consist of crystallized and non-crystallized areas. In the case of thermoplastics, increasing the temperature causes glass
transition and crystallization reactions in the non-crystalline areas, whereas the crystalline areas become soft and flow from Plastic Materials Evaluation of
melting. As the temperature is increased further, oxidation and decomposition occur. Thermal analysis enables analyzing each
of these phenomena easily and quickly. Because these phenomena reflect the various characteristics of plastic products, thermal
analysis is useful not only for research and development, but also for quality control.

Shimadzu Differential Scanning Calorimeter
DSC-60
• Peak height is about twice as high as previous Shimadzu models. Raw Materials Evaluation of
• Noise level is 1 µW or less.
• Includes a cooling chamber as standard.
Differential scanning calorimeters provide a useful means of quickly and easily
determining the changes in enthalpy and specific heat associated with the first-order
transition or relaxation phenomena of substances. In addition to a maximum noise
level of 1 µW and high sensitivity analysis, this new DSC system offers many other
unique features as well.
