Petrochemicals are essential building blocks for modern life, used in plastics, coatings, adhesives, synthetic fibers, fuels, and specialty chemicals. Their performance, safety, and processing efficiency depend on how they respond to changes in temperature over time. Thermal analysis proves an ideal set of techniques for investigating the properties of petrochemical products, enabling a better understanding of performance under different conditions.
What You Will Learn in This Webinar
In this live webinar, discover how techniques, including differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), Flash DSC, thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), and thermo-optical analysis (TOA), reveal critical properties of petrochemical products such as thermal stability, decomposition, melting, crystallization, and oxidation behavior. Understanding these characteristics helps optimize formulations, improve manufacturing processes, ensure product quality, and support safer handling and storage.
