Modulated TGA™ Separation of Overlapping Weight Losses in Polyurethane 120 the heating rate is controlled by the decomposition rate of the sample. The Discovery TGA 5500 and 550 Standard TGA @ 10 ˚C/min Hi-Res TGA @ 50 ˚C/min designs are ideal for these measurements, featuring rapid response furnaces for precise temperature control and sensitive thermobalances designed to quickly detect small weight changes. • Separation of broad and overlapping weight losses • Increased productivity with better resolution The figure above shows the Hi-Res TGA results for a polyurethane material by standard...

Evolved gas analysis involves the qualitative investigation of the evolved gas products from a TGA experiment.These products are generally the result of decomposition, but can also evolve from desorption, evaporation or chemical reactions. Evolved gas analysis is typically performed by interfacing a mass spectrometer (MS) or Fourier transform infrared spectrometer (FTIR) to the exit port of the TGA furnace. Through the use of a heated transfer line, the evolved gas stream is delivered to the MS or FTIR instrument, and the compositional analysis is performed in real TGA-FTIR: Phenolic Resin...

Discovery Mass Spectrometer (DMS) Parameter The Discovery MS is a benchtop quadrupole mass spectrometer, designed and optimized for evolved gas analysis. It features industry-standard technology configured for the efficient transfer and rapid detection of offgas from the TGA furnace. Parts per billion (ppb) sensitivity is ensured with our state-of-the-art quadrupole detection system, including a closed ion source, a triple mass filter, and a dual (Faraday and Secondary Electron Multiplier) detector system. This analyzer configuration is selected to optimize sensitivity and...

Blending Gas Delivery Module Discovery TGA The Blending Gas Delivery Module (Blending GDM) delivers flexibility in gas handling on the Discovery TGA 5500, TGA 550, and SDT 650. The Blending GDM is an external accessory with two gas inlet ports that, when connected to the reactive gas port on the TGA or SDT, gives the user a total of four gases to control. The software-controlled accessory allows for automated switching between the four gas ports as well as blending of binary mixtures of gases. The added blending capability allows for TGA experiments to be carried out in an atmosphere where...
