Client Testimonial

We have been using the C-Therm Trident for a few years now with a team of varied levels of experience. The C-Therm Trident is simple to train on and use for even our most junior staff, while still capable of delivering high value analysis of our products. The ease and speed of sample preparation and testing is key to our principal projects, allowing us to test and compare a large range of prototype formulations very quickly, without the limitations of machining samples. - Dan Nicholls , Global Technical Manager at AEV Ltd

Using Dynamic Mechanical Analysis for Quality Control of Epoxy Materials

A common use for Dynamic Mechanical Analysis (DMA) is indirect process monitoring and quality control (QC) checks.? The type of QC test depends on the nature of the sample, application, and material; however, some of the most common tests I see in ‘industry’ are strain sweeps to understand filler-filler interaction or temperature sweeps to measure the glass transition (Tg) temperature to understand the state of cure.? In this blog post, Dr. Travis Parkman highlights some great work done by Metravib’s application team on how DMA is used for QC checks via measuring Tg. Read more!

Is Thermal Analysis Required for Fertilizer?

Thermal analysis is required for fertilizer because it can help to determine the quality, stability, and composition of fertilizer products. Some of the reasons why thermal analysis is needed for fertilizer are... click here to learn more!
