AGENDA
•Thermal and Rheology, A window look•TA Product line with Snap shot•Present Market Share•Our Competitors •Areas that Needs Attention•Service & Technical Points
Thermal Analysis & Rheology• A complementary set of analytical
techniques• Instruments and software for
characterizing a wide range of materials• Measures changes in the Physical, and
Chemical properties of materials as a function of time, temperature and other specific variables.
What is a Rheometer?
An instrument that measures both viscosity and viscoelasticity of fluids, semi-solids and solids
It provides following information about the material’s:
1. Viscosity (which is the function of shear rate or stress, time & temperature dependence)
2. Viscoelastic properties (G’, G”, tan ) with respect to time, temperature, frequency & stress/strain
3. Transient response (relaxation modulus, creep compliance, creep recovery)
What is Rheology ?
Rheology is the science of flow and deformation of matter.The relationship between stress and deformation is a property of the material. We can therefore define Rheology as the study of stress-deformation relationships.
Types of Rheometers
• Rotational (Shear) Rheometers– ARES (Strain Control – SMT) – AR (Stress Control – CMT)
• Solids (Tensile/Bending) Rheometers– RSA (Strain Control – SMT) – DMA Q800 (Stress Control – CMT)

Thermal Analysis of Materials
Thermal Analysis techniques are applicable to most material classes. Some of the more common classes include :
• Polymers (Thermoplastics, thermosets, Elastomers, Polymer blends, copolymers).
• Foodstuffs and Pharmaceuticals• Inorganic (Minerals & Clays)• Ceramics, metals and Alloys.• Petroleum derived products (fuels, greases, Lubricating oils,
Bitumens and tars).• Materials are investigated (Loaded) in the liquid or solid state.• Over a wide temperature range -180°C/1600°C (depending on
the technique).

DSC (Differential Scanning Calorimetry)
A technique in which the heat flow rate (Power) to the sample is monitored against time or temperature while the temperature of the sample, in a specified atmosphere, is programmed.

TGA Q5000IR
AVAILABLE MODEL FOR TGAs
THE HIGHLY AUTOMATED Q5000 IR OFFERS UNMATCHED BASELINE FLATNESS, HIGH SENSITIVITY, ACCURATE TEMPERATURE MEASUREMENT, AND PRECISE CONTROL IN
BOTH STANDARD AND HIGH HEATING RATE OPERATION. OTHER GREAT FEATURES INCLUDE VACUUM OPERATION, AUTOMATED CURIE POINT TEMPERATURE CALIBRATION, POWERFUL NEW SOFTWARE AND A 25-POSITION, SMART AUTOSAMPLER WITH A UNIQUE CONTAMINATION-FREE, SEALED PAN PUNCHING MECHANISM. IT IS CLEARLY THE BEST ANALYZER FOR COMPLEX TGA APPLICATIONS.
TGA Q 500
The Q500 is a research grade thermo gravimetricanalyzer, whose leading performance arises from aresponsive low-mass furnace; sensitive thermo balance, and efficient horizontal purge gas system (with massflow control). Its convenience, expandability and powerful, results-oriented software make the Q500perfect for the multi-user laboratory where a wide varietyof TGA applications are conducted and where futureexpansion of analytical work is anticipated
TGA Q50
The easy-to-use Q50 is a rugged, reliable, cost-effective TGA with many features of the Q500. It offers outstanding value as a compact, general-purpose thermo gravimetric analyzer that frequently outperforms competitive research-grade models. Its integral mass flow control, gas switching capability, and superb software make the Q50 ideal for academic teaching facilities or in industrial laboratories that need quality results at a modest cost.
