A full polishing range.
From cutting and one-step correction to final finishing.
Coating Thermal Analysis: Keep Liquid and Cured Samples Distinguishable
A liquid formulation and a cured film are different specimens. Their analysis should be identified accordingly.
Updated · NANOLAB Knowledge
Practical approach
Record the sample state, preparation and conditioning before comparing results.
A liquid sample containing volatile components may show a different thermal profile from the finished film.
Decision limits
Do not present one specimen's result as though it directly describes every stage of the product's use.
