Our offers and services

We are listening to you

Durability and ageings

We are experts in researching the degradation of different materials and products under varying conditions such as sunlight, heat and humidity. Our team has years of experience and advanced expertise in this field, enabling us to provide our customers with unique insights into how textiles, adhesives, coatings, polymers and other materials degrade over time.

Analysis and characterizations

Our laboratory uses rigorous test and measurement methods to accurately analyze the chemical composition of mixtures. Our process involves high level assessments to identify and measure the concentrations of different components in materials such as UV additives, antioxidants, pigments and fillers. We continually strive to improve our testing methods by adopting advanced technologies and techniques, which keeps us at the forefront of providing top quality test and measurement services.

Failures and damages

One of the key aspects to understanding material failures and premature degradation is the demonstration of visual or chemical damage. This method of materials analysis involves examining the properties and structures of materials through various techniques, such as microscopes, spectrometers, and chemical tests. This deep understanding of material failures enables engineers and scientists to design and develop new materials that are more resilient and able to withstand harsher conditions, resulting in safer and more durable products.

Expertises and checkings
