ISO 11357 DSC Thermal Analysis Testing of Household Plastics
The International Organization for Standardization (ISO) 11357 specifies the procedure for determining the heat capacity, specific heat, and thermal transitions of plastics using Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC). This testing method is particularly crucial in the household plastics sector where compliance with regulatory standards ensures product quality and safety.
Thermal Analysis plays a key role in optimizing the manufacturing processes for household plastics by providing insights into their behavior under different temperature conditions. Understanding these properties helps manufacturers identify potential issues early on, leading to improved product performance and reliability. For instance, DSC can reveal critical information about crystallization temperature, melting point, glass transition temperature, and heat capacity which are essential parameters when dealing with materials like polyethylene (PE), polypropylene (PP), polystyrene (PS), and other common household plastics.
The process involves precise measurement of the amount of heat required to change the temperature of a sample and a reference material. By comparing their heating curves, accurate data on thermal transitions can be obtained. This information is vital not only for quality assurance but also in developing new products that meet both functional requirements and sustainability goals.
Our laboratory adheres strictly to ISO 11357 guidelines ensuring consistent results across all tests performed under this standard. Our team of experts ensures thorough specimen preparation, calibration checks, and data interpretation providing reliable outputs that are crucial for decision-making processes within your organization.
