You need support in developing new materials

As an industrialist you are looking to develop new materials with high performance characteristics. More resistant, more efficient, more durable and less polluting… These are some of the characteristics that materials must meet today.

Faced with the diversity and chemical complexity of materials, industrial companies are confronted with recurring problems regarding the choice of materials to use in the manufacture of a new product.

Whatever the nature of the materials, the analysis and characterisation of materials will make it possible to anticipate several classic cases of failure or non-conformity: chemical deterioration, swelling, rapid wear, migration, delamination, etc. By studying the behaviour and properties of each material, the objective is to identify the one that will be most suitable for the development of the new material.

FILAB analysis the characteristics and performance of your new materials

When developing a new material, knowledge and tools around these new materials are still limited and behaviour predictions are restricted. Therefore, the support of an external analytical service provider with analytical tools on the one hand and materials expertise on the other hand, helps you to carry out your R&D projects successfully. More than an analytical laboratory, FILAB supports industrial companies in the design and improvement of their products. Thanks to the know-how and experience of its doctors and engineers, FILAB studies your needs and offers you adapted, innovative and reliable solutions.

With an analytical park of 2,100 m² and a team of materials experts, the FILAB laboratory assists industrialists in all sectors in the development, integration, control or improvement of new materials in the production process.

our analytical services for the development of new materials

Characterisation of the structure of the composite material: length, diameter, degree of impregnation in the mass...

Failure study: breakage, non-conformity, dilamination, ageing, colour change...

Identification of the different components of the composite material from the matrix, reinforcement and additive mixtures.
