TGA measures loss of water, solvent or plasticizer; decarboxylation, pyrolysis, oxidation, decomposition percent filler or ash, percent coke on catalysts, percent carbon in oil, percent volatile component in inorganics. This is a quantitative system to identify losses without knowing what are individual steps are (unless a chemistry of the sample is known).
