When a material fails in the field, the reason is often invisible. A polymer may look perfect, a rubber compound may pass basic checks, or a coating may appear uniform—but under heat, the chemistry changes. Additives volatilize, fillers react, oxidation starts, and degradation begins. If you don’t understand how a material behaves with temperature, you’re making decisions with incomplete information.
That’s why tga and dta analysis services in chennai – Kiyo R&D LAB are valuable for manufacturers and R&D teams working with plastics, rubber, composites, coatings, chemicals, and advanced materials. Thermal analysis is not “extra testing.” It is often the only way to understand stability, composition, and reaction behavior.
TGA measures weight change in a material as temperature increases (or over time at a fixed temperature), under a controlled atmosphere. In simple terms, it tells you what the material loses (moisture, plasticizers, volatiles) and what remains (ash, fillers, residue) as it is heated.
TGA is commonly used to evaluate:
DTA measures the temperature difference between a sample and a reference while both are subjected to the same heating program. When the sample undergoes an endothermic or exothermic event—like melting, crystallization, curing, or a phase change—the temperature difference is recorded.
DTA helps detect:
With tga and dta analysis services in chennai – Kiyo R&D LAB, you can evaluate both weight loss behavior and thermal events to build a clearer picture of material performance.
Many quality issues are thermal in nature, even if they appear mechanical. A drop in tensile strength, a brittle failure, a sticky coating, or an unusual odor during processing can trace back to thermal degradation or an unexpected reaction.
Thermal analysis helps you answer practical questions such as:
If your product is processed with heat (extrusion, injection molding, lamination, curing, baking, drying), then thermal behavior directly affects quality. That’s why tga and dta analysis services in chennai – Kiyo R&D LAB support both R&D development and production troubleshooting.
A typical TGA output includes a thermogram (weight % vs temperature) and often its derivative curve (rate of weight loss). Key takeaways include:
These insights make tga and dta analysis services in chennai – Kiyo R&D LAB especially useful for rubber compounding, polymer processing, and supplier validation.
DTA provides a curve showing thermal events as peaks. This helps you detect:
For many materials, DTA is a quick way to compare “good vs suspect” batches and identify whether the thermal signature has changed due to formulation or processing variation.
Thermal analysis is widely used across multiple sectors:
If your product faces heat during processing or service, thermal analysis is a practical tool for quality assurance.
Thermal analysis is sensitive to heating rate, sample preparation, and atmosphere control. If these parameters are not handled correctly, results become inconsistent and misleading.
With tga and dta analysis services in chennai – Kiyo R&D LAB, you get controlled testing and clear reporting that supports production decisions and technical documentation.
Thermal behavior controls stability, composition, and long-term performance. If you are serious about material validation, you need more than basic mechanical tests.
Choose tga and dta analysis services in chennai – Kiyo R&D LAB to evaluate decomposition behavior, filler/ash content, and thermal events with clear, standard-style reporting—so you can make decisions based on data, not assumptions.
