Polymer Testing
BTRA has sophisticated instruments for testing various materials and caters to multiple testing needs of manufacturers & suppliers of plastics, polymers, adhesives, paints, resins, rubbers, etc. The details are as follows -
- Thermal Analysis
Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC), High Pressure Differential Scanning Calorimetry (HPDSC), Thermogravimetric Analysis(TGA) - Identification of products, determination of melting points, glass transition temperature, analysis of fillers, evaluation of thermal stability, degradation products, combustion products, thermal history, product purity and many more.
- Fourier Transform ? Infra Red(FT-IR) Analysis
Characterisation and identification of organic compounds, polymers, wetting agents, finishing agents, binders and many more. - X-ray Diffraction Studies
Identification and characterization of various materials, based on the type of crystal and its x-ray diffraction pattern - UV-Visible Spectrophotometer
Purity determination and other spectrophotometer analysis - Gel Permeation Chromatograph
(GPC) For determination of average molecular weights and molecular weight distribution - High Performance Liquid Chromatograph (HPLC)
Analysis, identification & separation of different organic compounds - Gas Chromatograph with Electron Capture Detector (GC-ECD)
Almost all the halogenated organic compounds are analysed. - Gas Chromatograph with Mass Selective Detectors (GC-MSD)
Analysis of organic compounds which are volatile and up to 500 molecular weight - Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometer Heavy metals analysis
Detection and quantification at ppm and ppb level - Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM)
