EXTENSION Services
ANALYSIS
Thermogravimetric (TGA)
Thermal characterization service that evaluates the thermal stability, composition, and degradation behavior of materials by measuring mass loss as a function of temperature under controlled atmospheres.
DIFFERENTIAL SCANNING
Calorimetry (DSC)
Thermal analysis service for determining the thermal transitions of materials, such as glass transition temperature (Tg), melting, crystallization, and heat capacity, providing information on their thermal behavior, stability, and structural properties.
DYNAMIC MECHANICAL
Analysis (DMA)
Service for characterizing the viscoelastic properties of materials through tensile, compression, and flexural testing, allowing the determination of storage modulus, loss modulus, damping factor (tan δ), and mechanical transitions as a function of temperature, frequency, or strain.
DETERMINATION OF
Shore D Hardness
Service for evaluating the surface hardness of polymers, composite materials, and other rigid materials by measuring their resistance to penetration by a standardized indenter.
