Our TGA services utilize precise heating protocols up to 1,100°C across various heating rates. In thermogravimetric analysis, a small sample is gradually heated to a set temperature while its weight is continuously monitored. Any changes in mass are recorded throughout the process. After the analysis, our experts carefully examine the resulting graph, identifying key transition points and structural changes. These insights help us determine the material’s fundamental properties. We analyze mass changes under controlled conditions, providing detailed data on material composition, stability, and behavior under different atmospheric conditions.
