Thermogravimetric Analysis (TGA)
What is TGA?
Thermogravimetric Analysis (TGA) is a thermal analysis technique that measures the change in mass of a material as a function of temperature or time. It tracks decomposition, oxidation, and other mass-related transitions, making it essential for R&D, production, and failure analysis.
Principle of work:
It provides critical data on:
- Thermal Stability – Determining the temperature at which a material decomposes or loses mass due to volatilization, oxidation, or other reactions.
- Composition Analysis – Identifying filler content, moisture, solvents, or additives by measuring mass loss at specific temperature ranges.
- Oxidative & Decomposition Behavior – Evaluating material resistance to oxidation and decomposition by tracking mass changes under controlled atmospheres (e.g., nitrogen, air).
- Kinetics of Degradation – Studying reaction rates and activation energy by analyzing mass loss patterns under different heating rates.
