Intracooling 2 system

Example 6

The melting and crystallization properties of the waxes were analyzed using a differential scanning calorimeter (DSC-7, Perkin-Elmer, Norwalk, Conn.,) equipped with an Intracooling II system. Solid wax (about 10 mg) was weighed into a steel pan (Perkin-Elmer) and the pan was sealed. A blank steel pan was used as reference. The temperature program started with a 10-min hold at 20° C., followed by 20° C./min heating to 200° C. and a 5-min hold at 200° C. The melting point peak was captured during the heating step and calculated using Pyris software (Perkin-Elmer, Norwalk, Conn., USA). The peak was then used to compare with that of the control. Three replicates from each wax sample were measured.
