Instruction Manual for Running Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC) Test On Powder Coating Materials.
Introduction
This manual provides instructions to prepare a sample and run a DSC test, on powder coating materials, using a Perkin Elmer DSC-6 instrument. DSC tests are used to determine a number of temperature related physical properties such as Tg (glass transition temperature), degree of cure, and reaction onset temperature. The analysis of the DSC results will not be covered in this document. No prior laboratory experience is necessary to accomplish the DSC test. It takes 30 minutes to run the described DSC test.

A. Push down on the hand pad at the top of the press; this drives a crimping piston into the anvil chamber and seals the pan. Press the pad downward until you hear a soft click, indicating the pan edge has been crimped over the lid. B. Remove the sealed pan from the press by pulling the cylinder body downward to expose the sealed sample pan. Remove with tweezers. C. Place the sealed sample pan on a hard surface, like the press base, and poke a small hole in the top of the pan lid using the tip of the tweezers.
