TGA

TGA

Thermal gravimetric analysis

TGA is a thermal analysis that measures the loss of weight of a sample as a function of temperature (or time), in a controlled atmosphere.

This technique provides important information that can be used to select materials within a formulation, to predict product performance and improve quality. TGA is mainly used to evaluate the kinetics of the decomposition of materials, predict the temperatures of use and study the thermal or oxidation stability of raw materials and materials. TGA can also be used to evaluate the residual solvent content, residual mass or char yield.
