Glass is a [material](https://filab.fr/en/our-services/our-analysis-services/laboratory-material-testing.md) with a wide range of applications, which makes it complex to analyze and use for manufacturers and subcontractors in the glass industry. Flat glass, hollow glass, fiberglass, or crystal: studying their characteristics helps companies better control their assembly, durability, and use. As players in the glass sector, you face many challenges around material quality, product [failures](https://filab.fr/en/our-services/our-expertise-services/laboratory-analysis-failures.md), and issues with [interactions between the container and its contents](https://filab.fr/en/our-services/our-expertise-services/laboratory-analysis-container-contents-interactions.md). Checks and [chemical analysis](https://filab.fr/nos-prestations/analyse/analysis-chimiques/) before and after commercialization will contribute to the quality of the final product. ## Our solutions: verify the compliance of glass or fiberglass, and characterize a failure phenomenon using analysis methods specific to the glass industry. FILAB Laboratory, a specialist in [chemical analysis](https://filab.fr/nos-prestations/analyse/analysis-chimiques/) and [materials characterization](https://filab.fr/en/our-services/our-analysis-services/laboratory-material-testing.md), supports manufacturers in the glass sector with the analysis, testing, and expert assessment of their products. Inorganic chemistry, organic chemistry, materials science: these are all areas of expertise required by the glass industry and brought together within our laboratory, ensuring responsiveness and high-performing results.
