Thermogravimetric analyzer TG 209 F3 Tarsus
Thermogravimetric analyzer TG 209 F3 Tarsus
Product details
The latest thermogravimetric analyzer TG 209 F3 Tarsus launched by Nike®, with DSC 200 F3 Maia®Together, they form the cost-effective F3 instrument series, which is not only suitable for quality testing in the polymer field, but also for routine applications in organic chemistry, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, and food.
TG 209 F3 has an ultra-high weighing resolution of 0.1 μ g, with a temperature range of room temperature to 1000 ° C. The heating rate can be set arbitrarily within the range of 0 K/min to 200 K/min. Due to the direct contact of the temperature measuring thermocouple with the bottom of the sample crucible, the accuracy of sample temperature measurement is ensured. The overall structure of the instrument is a vertical sample loading system, with an automatic lifting of the sample holder, without any hanging wires or any exposed and easily damaged components, high reliability, and easy operation and maintenance.
Optional c-DTA®The function is not only applicable for temperature calibration of instruments, but also provides important information about sample thermal effects (including volatilization with mass change, decomposition and melting without mass change, glass transition, etc.) during thermogravimetric measurement.
TG 209 F3 can be equipped with an automatic sampler (ASC) that includes 20 sample grades, and different crucible types can be used in combination during the same automatic sampling process.

Decomposition of Modified Hard PVC Board
The PVC sample decomposes under a nitrogen atmosphere, and two common decomposition reactions can be observed first: chlorine precipitation at 311 ° C (DTG peak) and breakage of the carbon hydrogen main chain at 474 ° C (weight loss of 23.2%). In addition to these two known decompositions, a significant weight loss step (4.7%) can also be observed near 270 ° C, which should come from the gray dye in the sample. The residual content (inorganic filler) of the sample after heating to 600 ° C is 19.9%.

TG 209 F3 Tarsus - Application Examples
Carbon black filled polyethylene
In the traditional field of thermogravimetric analysis, precise quantitative analysis of carbon black filled polymers or easily oxidizable polymers has always been a challenge. But for the new TG 209 F3 Tarsus, achieving this is not a problem at all. The above figure shows the thermogravimetric test results of a polyethylene sample filled with 1.8% carbon black. When the test reaches 850 ° C, the inert atmosphere (nitrogen) is switched to an oxidizing atmosphere (synthetic air), and the added carbon black is burned into carbon dioxide, resulting in a residual mass of 0%, which is in line with the characteristics of polyethylene material itself.

Melting and Decomposition of Polyamide (PA)
C-DTA using TG 209 F3®Function, able to obtain information about the material's heat absorption/release effects during thermogravimetric testing. The above figure shows the two-step decomposition of polyamide (PA) under a nitrogen atmosphere, c-DTA®The melting peak of the material was measured at 226 ° C, indicating that the sample may be PA6 based on this temperature. Melting has started to lose weight on the thermogravimetric curve, which may be due to the volatilization of additives.

Composition analysis of glass fiber reinforced nylon
Heat the sample PA66/GF to 850 ° C under an inert atmosphere at a heating rate of 20 ° C/min. The sample showed a weight loss of 0.6% between 70 ° C and 250 ° C (see local magnified image). Starting from 360 ° C sample decomposition (weight loss of 63.4%), the decomposition rate reaches its maximum value at 455 ° C (DTG peak); By using the automatic gas switching function, the experimental atmosphere was switched to oxygen at 850 ° C, and the pyrolytic carbon began to burn (with a weight loss of 1.5%); The remaining residue is glass fiber, with a content of 34.5%.

The TG 209 F3 Tarsus is equipped with a constant temperature water bath, which keeps the weighing system in a stable constant temperature working environment, unaffected by heat transfer from the furnace body at high temperatures, and reduces system drift during long-term testing. At the same time, in order to obtain a lower initial experimental temperature, a constant temperature water bath with cooling effect is also essential.
TG 209 F3 can be equipped with the most ideal gas mass flow control system (MFC) and diaphragm pump, which can drive out gases in the weighing system. Therefore, the experiment can be conducted under a pure inert atmosphere.
Naichi Company also offers a variety of crucibles with different textures and sizes to meet the needs of experiments, including alumina crucibles, platinum rhodium crucibles, aluminum crucibles, graphite and quartz crucibles, etc.
The automatic sampling system (ASC) of TG 209 F3 can automatically and effectively handle routine tests without the need for laboratory personnel to be present. The instrument can be tested day and night, and can even work unmanned on weekends. Each sample on the injector can be individually set with different experimental conditions and analytical labeling methods, NETZSCH Proteus®The simple operation of the software will guide the operator to easily complete a series of measurement programs. Moreover, unplanned analysis operations can also be inserted into pre-set programs, which is very flexible.
