Thermal Analysis

Thermal analysis is a range of advanced techniques for determining the thermophysical properties of materials and characterising their thermal behaviour. It is an indispensable tool for solving materials-related problems in both research and quality control.

Thanks to the large panel of techniques available in our facility, including Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC), Dynamic Mechanical Analysis (DMA), Dilatometry, Thermogravimetry (TGA) coupled to Mass Spectrometry (MS) and Infrared (IR) spectroscopy for evolved gases analysis, Laserflash (LFA) for thermal diffusivity and conductivity, we are able to characterise, in a large temperature range (from -180°C up to 1550°C), a wide variety of materials such as polymers (thermoplastic, thermoset, elastomers), copolymers, blends and additives (plasticisers, stabilisers, fillers, pigments, etc), metals, metal oxides, metallic salts, alloys, composites, pharmaceuticals, catalyst systems, cays and minerals, lubricants, greases or adhesives.
