PLTL-170 – Thermal Stability by DSC
Thermal stability is the ability of a substance to resist chemical reactions at increasing temperatures. This test measures the thermal stability of fluids in the absence of oxygen – under a nitrogen atmosphere, where reactions such as polymerizations and decompositions prevail. Please specify temperature range of interest and scan rate.
The sample is placed in a DSC and heated under a nitrogen atmosphere through the temperature range of interest. Reported is a graph of heat flow vs. temperature, with points of interest labeled.
Note: Thermal stability measures the ability of a substance to resist changes in an inert atmosphere, such as nitrogen. Oxidative stability is the ability of a substance to resist changes in the presence of oxygen.
