The thermal behavior of an EPDM
rubber mixture was measured between –125 and 160°C at
10 K/min. The glass transition was detected at –52.5°C.
The melting above the glass transition (peak temperature at
31.4°C) is typical for the behavior of a sequence-type EPDM.
The further endothermal effects (at 98.6 and 110°C) are due
to the evaporation of processing agents. The presentation in
the separate window clearly shows the high sensitivity of the
DSC 200 F3 Maia® even for small energetic
effects (0.43 J/g).
NETZSCH offers
precision thermal analysis instruments including advanced dilatometers (with
a new basic R&D/QC dilatometer),
classical DSC & TGA (with
a new economical DSC), high temperature DSC
to 1650°C for specific heat, very high temperature STA
(TGA-DSC/DTA) to 2400°C (featuring the new STA
409-PC Luxx®), thermal
/ evolved gas analysis with fully-integrated FTIR & MS, plus
high resolution TMA and DMA.
We also feature leading technology for thermal conductivity and diffusivity measurement
as well as refractories testing including HMOR, CIC, and RUL.
