Thermomechanical Analysis - TMA/SDTA 2+

The TMA/SDTA 2+ is ideal for a wide variety of applications, offering a broad temperature range alongside a selection of force parameters in tension and compression modes. This flexibility allows the TMA/SDTA 2+ to provide information on the characteristics of numerous types of samples promptly. The analysis of large sample cylinders, fine fibers, thin layers, plates, films, single crystals and soft or hard polymers all fall within the unit’s range of capabilities.

TMA is the ideal companion to DSC. As well as the measurement of expansion coefficients, TMA is also a reliable technique for determining glass transitions that DSC is unable to satisfactorily measure, such as materials that have a high filler content. Additionally, the instrument’s penetration mode is also useful for characterizing the glass transitions of problematic samples such as very thin coatings.

SDTA Signal - Unsurpassed Temperature Accuracy

The TMA/SDTA 2+ is the only instrument on the market currently that can measure sample temperature at very close to the sample in all its operating modes. This unique feature enables reference substances (for example the melting points of pure metals), or a change in length, to be used to adjust the temperature.

One Click™ Technology

The instrument’s color, touch-sensitive terminal can present clear and precise information, as well as being easy to see from a distance. Predefined measuring methods can be started safely and effortlessly from behind the terminal, thanks to the unit’s patented One Click™ function.
