Laboratory for analysis and expertise

SELVIUM, a product of FILAB research

NEW - FILAB Consulting expertise is evolving:

Audit, applied research and R&D support services are now brought together within FILAB Genium, our specialized scientific consulting firm.

Turn your technical challenges and failures into applicable industrial solutions with the support of our experts.

FILAB is involved in analysis and expertise, but also in numerous R&D projects carried out in collaboration with our industrial clients. This was notably the case for this analysis kit, developed by FILAB as part of a substitution project following the ban on a harmful product. Today, SELVIUM is produced and marketed by our sister company, COVALSENS.

What is the SELVIUM product?

SELVIUM is a kit for measuring residual salt levels, designed for road and motorway network operators. It was developed through a collaboration between Autoroutes Paris-Rhin-Rhône and our sister company COVALSENS. 

It is used to support road-salting campaign decisions by diagnosing the amount of salt still present, and makes it possible to validate the level of road surface protection according to air temperature (protection at -10°C and -15°C).

Thanks to these three pipettes pre-filled with solution (blank test, -10°C test and -15°C test), the operation reveals within a few seconds the Chloride (salt) content still present on your road surface, using a specific colour code.

Why SELVIUM?

Certified as non-CMR, this product reflects an environmentally friendly and safety-conscious approach for your employees. It also helps optimise your salting operations and therefore your salt consumption when in doubt.

Simple and quick to use, SELVIUM makes it easier to decide on your salting operations and supports your teams throughout the winter season.
