Our laboratories have a human team with extensive experience in the testing, characterization and analysis of the behavior of all types of materials, aimed at a wide diversity of industrial sectors.
Our Materials Aging laboratory provides companies with different types of equipment designed to check and determine the behavior of their products with regard to accelerated aging and environmental effects.
The lab performs validation and reliability tests for all types of materials and components in accordance with national and international standards, and also according to the manufacturer’s own specifications, such as those of automotive OEMs. With our equipment, extreme environmental conditions can be simulated to determine the durability, life cycle, compatibility, and wear resistance of materials, components, parts and assemblies.
Main types of lab tests:
Our Physical-Mechanical laboratory, under controlled environmental conditions of temperature and relative humidity (23°C and 50% RH), offers services related to the physical-mechanical properties of mainly plastic materials, as well as those that, according to regulations or standards, have to be tested in these environmental conditions.
The lab is comprehensively equipped for this type of testing and offers companies and manufacturers solutions when it comes to the characterization of their parts, components and materials.
Main types of lab tests:
Our Physical-Mechanical lab, under controlled environmental conditions of temperature and relative humidity (20°C and 65% RH), offers services related to the physical-mechanical properties of mainly textile products, and other materials that, according to regulations or standards, have to be tested in these environmental conditions.
The laboratory is comprehensively equipped for this type of test and offers companies and manufacturers solutions for the characterization of fabrics, determination of resistance to use, comfort, liquid repellency, breathability of masks, as well as other specific properties of textile products and their components.
Main types of lab tests:
Our Dimensional Metrology laboratory is accredited according to ISO/IEC 17025 for measurement by direct palpation, being the only one in Catalonia, and one of the few in Spain, that can offer the performance of three-dimensional measurement tests with coordinate measurement equipment (CMM).
We offer measurement services to companies in sectors as diverse as the automotive, construction, medical, 3D printing, and aeronautics sectors, ensuring the high added value of their products.
These types of measurements are essential for companies and manufacturers to ensure:
These guarantees set them apart in front of their customers and other stakeholders.
In addition, the lab has other non-contact measurement systems for companies that need them.
Main types of lab tests:
Our Emissions and Chemical Characterization laboratory provides companies with equipment and personnel specialized in determining the emission of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and in the characterization of physicochemical properties in materials such as plastics, textiles, metals, and more.
We help manufacturers improve their materials and develop new ones that provide greater value and are more sustainable.
Main types of lab tests:
Our accredited Fire Reaction laboratory enables companies and manufacturers to characterize their products and materials, ensuring fire safety and evacuation feasibility in the event of a fire.
This type of testing is a regulated and standardized requirement in sectors such as the automotive industry, where materials are usually tested according to particular regulations and requirements determined by each manufacturer (OEM), and construction, where they are usually included in Technical Codes. Reaction to fire is also an important parameter in other areas, such as rail, maritime, and more.
The laboratory also has the capability to provide these types of services for materials in liquid or semi-liquid states, such as greases, lubricating oils, and more.
Main types of lab tests:
Our Microscopy and Colorimetry laboratory is equipped with different optical microscopy (MO) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) equipment, profilometer and spectrophotometers. It also has the equipment to make the necessary preparations in each case (microtomes, polisher, resins, stains, etc.), as well as a photographic studio, digital cameras and image processing software.
These types of microscopic services help companies and organizations to characterize and analyze their materials and are very useful for the analysis of surfaces, morphology, topography and cross-section, composition of elements, specific properties of textile fibers and their qualitative identification, fault diagnosis, defect inspection, and more. These techniques make it possible to obtain valuable information by capturing images of certain structures that are not visible to the human eye.
Knowledge of this information helps manufacturers choose between the best materials, develop new products, analyze defects, optimize their processes and reduce costs.
The lab also has different types of colorimeters, spectrophotometers, glossmeters and visual comparison booths. This equipment is used for the determination of color coordinates, degree of white, comparison between colors to detect color differences, UV and NIR protection, as well as the determination of other specific properties of materials, such as surface gloss, metamerism, and more.
Main types of lab tests:
Our Textile and Solid Fatness laboratory offers all kinds of services related to the determination of the color resistance and wear of textile products against various external agents (e.g., sweat, washing, rubbing, water, light, chemicals, and more).
The services of this laboratory help manufacturers determine the behavior of their textile products in different washing and drying processes (domestic, industrial, or dry), and determine other important parameters (e.g., pH of the aqueous extract, quantitative composition of fibers, and more).
Main types of lab tests:
Our Microbiology laboratory works on a wide range of services that ensure the highest technical competence, quality and reliability of its results. We analyze any type of sample following different testing regulations or by applying other non-standardized methodologies, adapting each service to the client’s needs.
