Physico-chemical testing laboratory
Your needs: characterize the physico-chemical properties of your materials
What is physico-chemical characterization?
Whatever your sector of activity, you are subject to strong and changing regulatory constraints. Physico-chemical tests in laboratory enables you to study the characteristics of your products or materials in order to validate their conformity and performance. Even before they are put on the market.
These chemical analysis call on specific protocols and analysis tools to determine the intrinsic properties of product components. The FILAB laboratory supports industrial companies in understanding the physico-chemical phenomena of their chemicals and materials.
In fact, the support of a laboratory with state-of-the-art analytical equipment is essential for carrying out physico-chemical tests in the laboratory.
Why carry out physico-chemical characterization?
Physico-chemical characterization can be carried out in a variety of contexts: product development and quality control, industrial maintenance and diagnostics, regulatory compliance.
In all these cases, it is essential to ensure the quality, safety, innovation and durability of a product or material. It enables industries to meet not only stringent regulatory requirements, but also growing consumer expectations for safe, reliable and environmentally-friendly products.

Applications of physico-chemical materials characterization
Physico-chemical characterization is essential in many industrial sectors. Each field relies on these analysis to meet specific challenges: improving material properties, formulating new products, or measuring environmental impact. Here are just a few examples of the parameters analyzed as part of a physico-chemical characterization:
Physical nature of product at room temperature (solid, liquid, gas)
Identification of material components (deformulation)
Quantification of accessible surface per unit of mass
Mineral residues after incineration, purity or composition indicators (ash content measurement)
Ability of a material to transmit or absorb light
Particle size, shape and size distribution
FAQ
The use of a physico-chemical testing laboratory is essential for any organization that needs to understand the composition of its products. A physico-chemical analysis laboratory can provide a complete overview of a product's chemical and physical properties. Enabling the organization to make more informed decisions. This type of laboratory testing can be used in many processes. For example, quality control, research and development, safety compliance, etc. In addition, access to precise data on the composition of your products enables you to develop new formulations while guaranteeing safe use. Thanks to professional analysis by an experienced physicochemical tests laboratory, organizations can obtain reliable results. The aim is to help them make the right choices for their products.
FILAB offers a variety of methods for analyzing your sample. These include gas chromatography (GC), high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and spectroscopic techniques. Our experienced analytical chemists can also provide customized tests to customer specifications.
If you need reliable physico-chemical testing for your products, look no further: Filab is the solution to your problems.
Chemical analysis determines the elemental or molecular composition of a material (presence of elements, phases, compounds, etc.).
Physico-chemical characterization also covers physical properties: morphology, structure, surface, porosity, particle size, etc.
- Some techniques are destructive: ICP, DRX, ATG ... total or partial destruction of the sample.
- Others are non-destructive: SEM, FTIR reflection, Raman, DRS, etc.
The method can be adapted to the quantity of material available and the nature of the requirement.
Physico-chemical characterization gives access to concrete data on a material's composition, surface, optical or molecular properties, all essential elements for anticipating its behavior in real use.
