COLUMBUS, Ohio (April 21, 2014) – METTLER TOLEDO is pleased to present a webinar on oxidation induction time (OIT) Wednesday, April 30, 2014. In this webinar, we will discuss the different methods used to investigate the oxidation behavior of materials and present some interesting applications.

The determination of OIT and the oxidation onset temperature (OOT) are standard procedures frequently used to rapidly compare and assess the oxidative stability of materials. The same methods can be used to study aging processes and the effectiveness of stabilizers. The use of higher pressures suppresses the vaporization of volatile components, increases the rate of oxidation and shortens measurement times. Many organic compounds are attacked by oxygen and undergo oxidation reactions even at low temperatures. Materials and substances such as plastics, greases, oils and fats are easily investigated by thermal analysis techniques.

This webinar covers the following topics:
• OIT and OOT Methods
• Why use Thermal Analysis?
• Industries and applications
• Different instruments for the measurement of OIT and OOT:
»»Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC)
»»High Pressure DSC
»» Thermogravimetric Analysis (TGA)
»»Dynamic Mechanical Analysis (DMA)

After this presentation in English, there will be an opportunity to participate in a Q&A session and discuss direct points of interest with METTLER TOLEDO application experts.
