Determination ofthe dropping point of polyoletines ‘A ganerally coceoted procedure forthe determination of use propetas of raw polymers is the dropping point. Homo- or copolymer pelts or powders witha defined dropping point can be tested. The samples are premetted and led into the cups siting inthe ‘sample preparation tool which is preheated in a dry oven. ‘The automatic, unattended dropping point determination using the DP70 provides quick and reliable measurements. Carrying out the analysis according fo ASTM D3954 guarantees excellent eomparabilty ofthe resultsDP20 More Application Possibilities Wider Temperature Range Dropping point determinations at subambient temperatures oan only be performed using a P90 Dropping Point System.
