Introduction
Thermogravimetry has been used for years to quantify the components of automotive rubber products, namely oil, polymer, carbon, and inorganic filler. While this separation is straightforward conceptually, it challenges the performance of Thermogravimetric Analyzers (TGA) in order to achieve reliable accuracy and reproducibility. Since this is also a routine quality test, there are the additional challenges of reducing the test time and automating the analysis. Fortunately, the PerkinElmer TGA 8000™ offers significant improvements in all areas for this analysis.
