TREF
The TREF is the first automatic analytical instrument to perform Temperature Rising
Elution Fractionation (TREF) to characterize Chemical Composition Distribution (CCD)
of polyolefin samples.
Five crystallization vessels to analyze up to 5 samples with no supervision required.
Analysis time of 6 hours per sample under standard conditions.
Fully automated process with no solvent handling, including a final cleaning of the lines and vessels.
No manpower and no solvents handling along the whole process.
Low solvent consumption.
Infrared Detector IR4 incorporated, with the possibility of adding a composition sensor for methyls or carbonyls measurement.
Virtual Instrumentation software with whole control of the instrument hardware and process.
Possibility of calibrating the instrument to obtain the CCD curve in comonomer content units.
Possibility of subambient capability (down to -20ºC) for low crystallinity samples.
Possibility of remote control connection to allow a fast diagnosis.
Possibility of adding a Viscometer detector.
Easily convertible to a CRYSTAF-TREF combined instrument.
