To produce higher-quality and more sophisticated products, Brianza Plastica has invested heavily in R&D creating one of the most advanced labs in the sector, three times bigger than the previous one.
With the HTEC-Pills video serie, we want to show you how our labs work and introduce the technical staff that is committed every day to carrying chemical-physical tests on raw materials and on the finished products.
Check out this video and enjoy the HTEC-Pills: we will show you the several tests we carry on using the most modern analysis equipment. A way to know us even better.
HTEC Pills #1
In this video we present you the Viscometer, a special machine used to measure the viscosity of a liquid, that we use to verify raw materials like resins, gelcoat etc.
HTEC Pills #2
The heating tables are used to simulate the curing behaviour of various laminates, resins and recipes at certain temperatures, partially reproducing the real production process.
HTEC Pills #3
Here we see the working process of the optical microscope. It is used for the analysis of morphological structure of laminates and their possible imperfections.
HTEC Pills #4
In this video we can observe the dynamometer, a laboratory instrument used to correlate the stress applied to a sample with its deformation. In our lab we can carry on tensile, flexure, compression and peeling tests.
HTEC Pills #5
Our journey into Brianza Plastica lab instruments introduces us to the colorimeter used for the characterisation and control of colours. Watch the video to see the procedure.
HTEC Pills #6
The color viewing chamber is used to compare the color of our products under standardized light sources to verify that they show the same colour under all lighting conditions.
HTEC Pills #7
To evaluate our laminates’ resistance to atmospheric agents we run special accelerated aging tests with Xenotest. Watch the video to see how the test works.
HTEC Pills #8
In this video we can see the fire testing apparatus. It is a lab instrument manufactured according to international regulations used to test the reaction to fire of different materials.
