2 Netzsch STA 409 PC (TG/DSC) With the Netzsch STA 409 PC it is possible to measure weight change (as a result of evaporation, decomposition, chemical reaction, etc.), simultaneously with heat flow as a function of time or temperature. This way weight change events can be coupled and compared directly to endo-/exothermic events in one measurement run. By connecting a Mass Spectrometer, evolved gasses can be identified or known gaseous components can be followed. TG analysis can be used to analyze tire rubber chemistry, determine the carbon black content of a master batch, determine the composition of a cosmetic, understand thermal stability of pharmaceuticals, find the triggering temperature of a blowing agent, determine the melting temperature of alloy solders, find the vapor pressure curve for lubricants, etc. DSC heat flow measurements are used for the simultaneous detection of thermal events. Temperature range: from RT up to 1500 C Cooling times: 1500 C.. 25 C: 45min, uncontrolled Heating rates: max. 50 K/min possible; K/min recommended Atmosphere: air (moist, up to 15 mbar), N 2, CO 2, He, Ar Crucible volume: 85µl 3.4 µl Furnace silicium carbide Thermocouple: type S (Pt/PtHg) Page 2 of 13

3 Netzsch DSC 204 F1 Phoenix Very high sensitivity and resolution can be realized with this premium Differential Scanning Calorimeter (DSC). With this technique a heathflow from or to a sample can be measured as a function of temperature or time. This allows us to determine virtually all thermal transitions of a material, such as: Melting and crystallization Evaporation Glass Transition Temperature Chemical reaction (enthalpy) Etc. By using DSC the heat capacity of a material can be measured in a large thermal range, due to the addition of a liquid nitrogen cooling system.

5 TGA 850 Mettler Toledo Thermogravimetry (TGA) is a technique that measures the change in weight of a sample as it is heated, cooled or held at constant temperature. Its main use is to characterize materials with regard to their composition and thermal stability. Application areas include plastics, elastomers and thermosets, mineral compounds and ceramics as well as a wide range of analyses in the chemical and pharmaceutical industries. Examples of thermal events and processes that can be determined by TGA: Quantitative content analysis (moisture, fillers, polymer content, materials, etc.) Adsorption and desorption of gases Kinetics of decomposition processes Sublimation, evaporation and vaporization Oxidation reactions and oxidation stability Sorption and desorption of moisture Pseudopolymorphism Determination of Curie temperatures Temperature range Heating rate Required sample size RT C, with water cooling K/min 2 to 20 milligrams Page 5 of 13

6 Dilatometer DIL 402 PC With the Dilatometer DIL 402 PC we can measure the coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) as a main application.

10 Midac M4000 FTIR Our Midac M4000 FTIR provides a full range of resolutions from 2cm 1 for routine analysis up to 0.5cm 1 for high resolution work, such as multicomponent analysis. Several different kinds of cells and detectors enable us to measure a several types of sample material. With the extended library we can identify materials (inorganics, adhesives, oils, polymers, dyes, cosmetics, drugs, etc.) within seconds. Infrared spectroscopy uses the fact that molecules absorb specific frequencies that are characteristic of their structure. These absorptions are resonant frequencies, i.e. the frequency of the absorbed radiation matches the transition energy of the bond or group that vibrates. The infrared spectrum of a sample is recorded by passing a beam of infrared light through the sample. Examination of the transmitted light reveals how much energy was absorbed at each frequency (or wavelength). Alternatively, the whole wavelength range is measured at once using a Fourier transform instrument and then a transmittance or absorbance spectrum is generated using a dedicated procedure. Analysis of the position, shape and intensity of peaks in this spectrum reveals details about the molecular structure of the sample.
