DIN EN ISO 11357 DSC Thermal Analysis of Recycled Plastics
The DIN EN ISO 11357 standard defines the procedure for Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC) analysis used to determine the thermal properties of recycled plastics. This service is essential for ensuring that recycled plastic materials meet the stringent quality and performance requirements demanded by modern manufacturing processes.
The primary focus of this service involves the precise measurement of heat flow between a sample and an inert reference material when both are subjected to temperature changes. The test provides critical information regarding melting, crystallization, glass transition temperatures (Tg), and other thermal events that occur during heating or cooling cycles. These insights are vital for quality assurance in the recycling industry.
Recycled plastics undergo numerous processing steps before they can be reintroduced into manufacturing processes. Understanding their thermal behavior is crucial to ensure that these materials perform consistently across various applications. For instance, knowing the exact melting point of a recycled plastic component helps in designing efficient molding machines and optimizing production processes.
The test procedure outlined in DIN EN ISO 11357 involves several key steps. Initially, samples must be prepared according to specified standards. This typically includes grinding particles into uniform sizes suitable for DSC analysis. After preparation, the sample is placed within the calorimeter where it undergoes controlled temperature cycles. During these cycles, the heat flow between the sample and reference material is measured, allowing precise determination of thermal properties.
The equipment used in this testing process includes advanced Differential Scanning Calorimeters (DSCs) capable of maintaining extremely stable temperatures throughout the analysis. These instruments are calibrated regularly to ensure accurate results. The data collected during each test run is meticulously recorded and analyzed using specialized software, which helps in interpreting the thermal behavior of the recycled plastics accurately.
One significant aspect of this service is its role in compliance with international standards like DIN EN ISO 11357. Compliance ensures that products meet specific quality benchmarks set by regulatory bodies worldwide. This not only enhances product reliability but also supports global trade by ensuring compatibility across different markets.
In addition to providing essential technical data, this service offers valuable insights into the lifecycle of recycled plastics. By understanding how these materials behave thermally under various conditions, manufacturers can make informed decisions about recycling processes and end-of-life solutions for plastic products. This knowledge contributes significantly towards sustainable practices within the industry.
