C&EN White Paper
Analytical Instruments for Optimizing Polymer Processing    
Brought to you by Waters | TA Instruments
Overview

Processing conditions can influence a polymer's performance as much as its chemical formulation. The material's thermal and shearing history and its fillers, fibers, stabilizers, or other additives help determine many of its properties. Laboratory analysis can help optimize polymer processing conditions, diagnose issues in an existing process, and ensure consistent quality in the end products.

TA Instruments offers an array of thermal, rheological, and mechanical analysis instruments that can help identify potential trouble spots during and after processing. Rapid, reliable testing can minimize wasted material, product defects, and equipment downtime, while also ensuring that products meet consistency and durability standards.

Key Objectives:
  • Thermal, rheological, and mechanical analyses help establish and optimize process parameters.
  • Lab analysis can diagnose unexpected results caused by small process changes.
  • Quality control testing ensures that your product consistently meets or exceeds your customers' expectations.
