Investigation of the Oxidative Stability of Polyolefi ns and Thermoplastic Elastomers by Means of DSC

From NETZSCH-Gerätebau GmbH

Oxidative-induction time (OIT) measurements allow for characterization of the long-term stability of hydrocarbons. For determination of the oxidative stability, standardized test methods by means of DSC (Differential Scanning Calorimetry) are used. OIT tests by means of DSC are internationally recognized. Well-established standards are e.g., ASTM D3895-92, ASTM D6186, EN 728 und ISO 11357-6.
