Intertek identifies the thermal properties and physical characteristics of client sample materials as a function of temperature. The Intertek thermal properties Laboratories offer a wide range of thermal techniques which can be used to provide valuable information regarding characteristics of materials and products.
Thermal analysis techniques available include:
| Characteristic of interest | Types of thermal properties information provided |
|---|---|
| Morphological change | Melting points, glass transition (Tg), crystallinity, thermal history, nucleation, enthalpy of fusion or re-crystallisation, specific heat capacity (Cp) |
| Dimensional change | Coefficient of thermal expansion (CLTE), shrinkage data, anisotropy due to fillers/reinforcing materials, softening temperatures |
| Viscoelastic properties | Stiffness and damping properties, molecular phase interactions by mechanical loss |
| Mass change | Thermal stability / thermal oxidative stability, thermal transitions, solvent loss, water / filler content, organic / inorganic ratios |
