Observations/comments

Melting point for PE=1350C; PP=1650C(supplied by indenter)

Two different virgin test samples were subjected to DSC
studies in the temperature range of 00C to 2000C. In the first
sample (PE) melting point is observed at 136.80C against the
literature value 1350C and in the second sample (PP-PE-PP)
observed two melting points at 131.20C & 158.30C
respectively against the literature value of 1350C & 1650C
respectively. 1st melting point corresponds to melting of PE
and 2nd melting point corresponds to melting of PP.
Typical thermal curves of DSC are enclosed.

Two different virgin test samples were subjected to TGA
studies in the temperature range of RT to 2000C from the
material as received from the indenter for its thermal stability.
In the 1st sample (PE) weight loss of about 0.22% and 0.32%
was observed in the temperature range of RT to 1400C and
1400C to 2000C respectively. The left over residue was in the
form of lump.
In the 2nd sample (PP-PE-PP) weight loss of about 0.11% and
0.09% was observed in the temperature range of RT to 1400C
and 1400C to 1700C respectively. The left over residue was in
the form of lump.
Typical thermal curves of TGA are enclosed.
