Techniques able to evaluate the quantity of organic compounds emitted, generally required in the specifications of the automotive sector. Specifically, fogging uses a gravimetric or photometric method to identify the volatile substances emitted from leather, imitation leather, composite or flocked […]
Evaluation of the thickness of metallic or galvanized components by destructive testing. The laboratory is also able to perform thickness measurements on galvanized coatings using the coulometric or anodic degalvanization technique. This technique is able to measure each layer, removing […]
Evaluation of the thickness of the various layers of painted components. The laboratory is able to perform measurements of the paint layers of plastic or metal components using a metallographic microscope with magnification up to 1000X. To perform this measurement, […]
Evaluation of the variation in dimension of the components, subjected to thermal ageing. Additional evaluation generally performed in conjunction with temperature, humidity or thermal cycling aging tests. These environmental tests are often required in the vehicle set-up, in order to […]
Simulation of contact with chemical agents and contaminants that can be encountered during operation. Test required by automotive specifications, performed on painted or mass-pigmented plastics to evaluate their resistance to the application of chemical agents or fluids generally used for […]
Simulation of the use of decorative coatings obtained by painting for vehicle interior components. Test performed on painted components to simulate wear on a daily basis. The test exaggerates the conditions of use, maximizing the wear of the piece. It […]
Evaluation of the resistance of the painted components by washing with a pressure water lance. As indicated, this test simulates the washing of painted components applied to the exterior of the car, particularly useful for evaluating the adhesion of the […]
Simulation of stone or gravel hits on the front parts of the car. Test performed mainly on painted products, for the evaluation of the resistance of the paintwork to impacts from crushed stone or regulated gravel, in order to simulate […]
Test utile per definire la resistenza alla tenso-fessurazione dei materiali plastici quindi determinare la sensibilità di queste all’azione congiunta di sollecitazioni meccaniche con sollecitazioni chimiche. L’azione congiunta delle sollecitazioni meccaniche e chimiche porta quindi ad ottenere una certa deformazione del […]
Technique able to evaluate the degree of polymerization of polyethylene by gravimetric method and reflux cooling system. The cross-linked polyethylene is first prepared in small flakes, weighed and inserted into a metal mesh permeable to liquids but with holes smaller […]
