Thermal Desorption Technology for Testing Chemical Emissions from Construction Products and Consumer Goods
7 Dec 2016High-profile international regulatory developments and increased consumer awareness of hazardous chemicals in everyday products are driving global demand for improved assessment and labelling of products with respect to their intentional or unintentional release of chemicals. This application note describes the various features of thermal desorption (and Markes’ technology in particular) that make it suitable for testing emissions of potentially hazardous chemicals from construction products and consumer goods.

Thermal Analysis EquipmentThermal analysis equipment is used for measuring heat flow, weight loss, dimension changes or thermomechanical properties and is important for analyzing a material’s performance and stability. Thermal analysis equipment includes differential scanning calorimeters (DSC), thermogravimetric analyzers (TGA), thermomechanical analyzers (TMA), dilatometers, thermometers, vapor sorption analyzers, boiling and melting point apparatus. Thermal analyzers can reveal properties such as melting, crystallization and glass transitions or other processes such as oxidation, decomposition, volatilization, as well as coefficients of thermal expansion and modulus.

Some VOCs are harmful to human health, whereas others can be used to determine the shelf-life of foods samples. Gas AnalysisGas analysis is used to measure the composition of gases in various environments, such as industrial processes, air quality monitoring, and environmental studies. Techniques like gas chromatography and mass spectrometry are commonly used.
