Our 800 m² central laboratory tests raw materials, production batches and new formulations to ASTM, EN, ISO and PRE standards — the data behind every technical data sheet we publish.
Physical, thermal, mechanical and chemical characterisation — on our products, and on used refractories for post-mortem analysis.
RUL and creep-in-compression testing tells you how a refractory really behaves under load at temperature — the single most relevant property for structural linings.
Laboratory kilns and high-temperature test furnaces for firing trials, reheat cycles, thermal shock panels and permanent linear change measurement.
Cold crushing strength and modulus of rupture — at ambient and at temperature (HMOR) — plus abrasion resistance for wear-critical applications.
Thermal conductivity for insulation design, bulk density and porosity, plus chemical and mineralogical analysis with sample preparation in-house.
Every raw material lot is sampled and tested before it enters production — the first gate of the quality chain.
Production batches are tested against specification; certificates of analysis available for every delivery.
New products are developed and validated in-house — from lab trials to industrial pilot batches.
Used refractories from your furnace analysed to understand wear mechanisms and engineer a longer-lasting lining.
