Thermal Analysis: Understand the thermal properties of your materials
What are thermal analyses and why are they essential?
Thermal analyses are essential techniques that measure and evaluate the thermal properties of materials. These analyses provide insight into how materials behave during temperature changes, which is crucial in many industries, including plastics processing, construction and electronics. By performing thermal analyses, you can ensure the performance, stability and long-term durability of your products.
Below are all the thermal analyses that we can perform:

How do thermal analyses work?
The process includes various techniques that focus on specific thermal properties:
- Smelttemperatuur bepalingMelting temperature determination: this technique measures the temperature at which a material transitions from solid to liquid, which is essential for understanding the workability of plastics.
- Glas transitie temperatuur (Tg) bepalingGlass transition temperature (Tg) determination: this measuring point indicates at what temperature an amorphous material changes from a hard and brittle to a more rubbery and flexible behavior. This is important for applications where temperature variations affect material performance.
- HDT (Heat Deflection Temperature) bepalingHDT (Heat Deflection Temperature) determination: this test determines the temperature at which a material begins to deform when exposed to certain humidity and stress. This is crucial for ensuring the stability of materials in heated environments.
- Thermische expansieThermal expansion: this analysis measures how a material expands or contracts with changing temperatures. This is important for understanding material growth and preventing stresses in composite structures.
- VerouderingstestAging test: this test simulates the effects of time and temperature on materials to evaluate longevity and reliability under different conditions.
