Melting Point Determination: Reveal the physical properties of your materials
What does determining a melting point mean and why is it important?
Determining the melting point is an important test method that measures the temperature at which a material changes from the solid to the liquid state. At Deon Research Centre, this provision is essential for the characterization of various materials, especially in the plastics and metal industries. Understanding the melting point is crucial for the design and application of materials in various applications, such as packaging, construction materials, and production processes.
Why choose a melting point determination at Deon Research Centre?
By opting for a melting point determination at Deon Research Centre, you benefit from:
- Accurate information about material characteristics: understand how and when a material changes from solid to liquid state.
- Support with production processes: ensure that materials are processed and formed correctly at the correct temperatures.
- Optimization of product properties: Use the results to select materials that are suitable for specific applications.
How does a melting point determination work?
The process for determining the melting point includes several techniques, including:
- Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC): a commonly used technique that measures heat transfer in a material as it is heated, which helps identify the melting point by monitoring the energy change.
- Capillary method: a traditional method in which a small sample is heated in a capillary tube until it begins to melt, at which point the melting point is established.
- Thermo-mechanical analysis (TMA): used to measure physical changes in materials in relation to increases in temperature.
