Scope:

This standard describes a method for the determination of the glass transition temperature (Tg) and decomposition temperature (Td) in kraft lignins. The procedure utilizes differential scanning calorimetry (DSC).

Project need:

The majority of world commerce is governed by regulations based product standards. An absence of standard for products and properties therefore limits market access. Through this project, Canadian stakeholders of the lignin industry will therefore have access to a common standard to determine thermal properties of kraft lignins, which currently does not exist
