EUROLAB, with its state-of-the-art accredited laboratories and expert team, provides precise and fast testing services within the scope of EN 12614 testing. This test method involves determining the glass transition temperature of polymers by differential thermal analysis or differential scanning calorimetry.
This test method can be applied to polymers in granular form (below 60 mesh avoiding grinding if possible) or any fabricated shape into which suitable samples can be cut. This test method is used for specification acceptance and determines the behavior of a polymer with respect to temperature changes.
The glass transition temperature is an important parameter indicating the temperature range at which a polymer changes from a hard and brittle state to a soft and rubbery state.
The standard provides a pathway for subjecting a polymer sample to conditions of controlled oscillating stress and strain over a temperature range and measuring changes in mechanical properties such as storage modulus and loss modulus. The glass transition temperature is determined by identifying the peak in the temperature-dependent loss modulus plot.
Compliance with EN 12614 can provide polymer manufacturers and users with assurance that the glass transition temperature of their products is determined using a recognized and standardized method.
EUROLAB assists manufacturers with EN 12614 test compliance. Our test experts, with professional working mission and principles, offer you the best service and controlled testing process in our laboratories to our manufacturers and suppliers.
