CRYSTAF-TREF
CRSTAF and TREF techniques are intended to measure the Chemical Composition Distribution in Polyolefins; CRYSTAF analyses it in the crystallization cycle and TREF in the dissolution cycle.
The analysis of complex PP-PE combination has been shown to require both TREF and CRYSTAF to unequivocally characterize unknown samples due to the differences in the undercooling between both resins. Such a case is the analysis of samples containing both HDPE and Ethylene-Propylene copolymer (EP) for instance.
- Benchtop instrument with the possibility of performing CRYSTAF or TREF techniques.
- Fully automated processes, from the sample preparation up to the final cleaning.
- No manpower and no solvents handling.
- Possibility of analyzing up to 5 samples with no supervision required.
- Low solvent consumption.
- Infrared Detector IR4 incorporated, with the possibility of adding a composition sensor for methyls or carbonyls measurement.
- Possibility of adding a Viscometer detector in TREF mode.
- Possibility of subambient capability (down to -20ºC) for low crystallinity samples.
- Virtual Instrumentation software with whole control of the instrument process, storage of all the detectors signals and monitoring of the sensors system.
- Possibility of remote control capability for fast diagnosis and support from Polymer Char Service Center.
