Chemical Substance: Contract Thermal Safety Assessment

Many of the solutions used in our company contain impurities beyond solvents, which can pose hidden dangers.
Therefore, we conduct rigid checks that include the use of various analytical instruments such as the Accelerating Rate Calorimeter (ARC) throughout the process, from distillation process development to refined product shipment.

Drawing upon our vast experience and expertise, we provide comprehensive contract thermal safety assessment tests for chemical substances utilized across diverse industries.

We also offer the possibility of combining other testing methods and equipment. Based on consultation and your specific requirements, we will propose the most suitable test solution for your needs. Please note that strict confidentiality will be maintained, subject to the execution of a nondisclosure agreement.

Measuring Devices

Differential Scanning Calorimeter (DSC)

  • A heat-stable substance is utilized as a reference point, and as the sample’s temperature increases, its behavior is detected by measuring the temperature difference relative to the reference substance.

  • This is used to screen samples for heat stability by comparing their behavior with that of reagents.

  • This device measures not only the heat input and output caused by a chemical reaction, but also the melting point, glass transition temperature, and specific heat of a substance.
    *Screening test n=1 per DSC is included in the standard.

  • Sample amount required: 2g

  • If gases from decomposition are produced, qualitative analysis of the gases can also be performed in a separate test.

Accelerating Rate Calorimeter (ARC)

  • By conducting adiabatic measurements on a sample at a chosen temperature scale, it is possible to analyze changes in temperature, heat content, and pressure, thereby assessing the heat stability of the sample.

  • The sample undergoes heating due to decomposition and polymerization reactions, and by analyzing the acceleration of the chemical reaction rate according to the Arrhenius law, it is possible to determine the time when the reactions become uncontrollable.

  • Isothermal tests can confirm the heat stability of the sample under actual conditions.

  • Sample amount required: 20g
