Determining the drop point of wax by automatic drop point determination technology (CAT#: STEM-PPA-0186-LJX)

Introduction

Drop points are easy to use and reliable quality control parameters that can be used to characterize substances of wax and paraffin, plant, animal or synthetic origin that are commonly used as raw materials in the cosmetic industry. The thermal properties of these substances directly affect the production process and the quality of the final product.




Principle

During the test, the cup containing the sample is placed on the support, and the furnace is installed on the outside of it. The expected drop point temperature of the sample is set through the instrument keyboard, and the temperature is raised according to the preset heating program. The photodetector automatically records the temperature at which the first drop of sample is dropped from the mouth of the cup, which is the drop point of the sample.

Applications

For drop point determination of non-crystalline materials such as synthetic and natural products

Procedure

1. Place the sample in the cup and put it on the support in the furnace
2. Start the instrument program to heat up
3. The instrument automatically records the temperature at which the first drop of sample drops from the mouth of the cup, that is, the drop point

Materials

• Sample Type:
Paraffin wax, microcrystalline wax, polyethylene wax, blended wax and natural wax and other non-liquid wax

Notes

The experiment should be repeated three times, and the average value should be taken to ensure the accuracy of the results.
