Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC) for PVC Pipe Gelation Measurement

DSC measures the gelation (fusion) level of PVC resin by analyzing heat flow during thermal scanning. a50i1674-6Gelation reflects the molecular fusion extent critical to pipe mechanical properties.

Optimal Gelation Range

Optimal gelation levels range from 85% to 95%, correlating with superior long-term strength, ductility, and stiffness. A gelation level of 93% is typically achievable under controlled processing.
