Material Analysis in the Chemical Industry
Solutions for Reaction Analysis, Material Characterization, and Process Optimization
The analysis of chemical materials and processes requires precise methods for determining thermal, thermophysical, and mechanical properties. Depending on the application, techniques such as calorimetry, thermogravimetry (TGA), simultaneous thermal analysis (STA), dilatometer or thermal conductivity measurements (LFA, HFM) are used.
These methods enable a detailed investigation of reaction kinetics, material transformations, stability, and transport processes—from basic research to industrial applications.
