How do we work
Making contact
After an exchange between the project manager and a CNEP manager, a study is proposed taking into account the expectations of the project and the samples available for the study. After agreement, a quote and a deadline for carrying out the study are proposed.
Receipt of samples and start of the study
The samples received at CNEP are referenced in our Quality system and then formatted by us in order to meet the expectations of the project and the requirements of our accelerated aging equipment. In the specific case of a durability study, the chemical and color changes during exposure in the SEPAP accelerated photoaging chamber are monitored by IRTF under different adapted modes and by UV-Visible in order to have a global vision of the mechanisms involved.
Detailed report
At the end of the planned exposure period, a report bringing together all the analyses and developments of the materials as well as a balance sheet allowing an estimate of the lifespan of the different materials to be given is sent to the project manager who can ask for advice from the research officer who wrote the report.
