Testing

Test method to determine the number of tufts and/or loops per unit Iength and per unit area of a carpet.

Resistance to penetration and permeation are two variables related to the barrier properties of materials.

When a consumer article is examined for risk components, we start by screening the sample for the presence of fluorine. If fluorine is detected, this may indicate the presence of residual PFAS, requiring further quantitative assessment.

Using PCR, copies of DNA sequences are exponentially amplified to generate thousands to millions of more copies of that particular DNA segment.

Test method to measure and describe of the response of materials, products, or assemblies to heat and flame under controlled conditions

Centexbel offers a set of tests to detect the presence of Substances of Very High Concern [SVHC], as defined by REACH legislation. This quick analysis enables manufacturers, textile finishers, importers, retailers and brands to meet the REACH SVHC obligations.

Test method to determine the susceptibility of textile floor coverings to mechanical damage at cut edges. It is applicable to all textile floor coverings both as sheet materials and as tiles.

Centexbel is accredited by BELAC to perform the tests EN 149: 2001 + A1: 2009 in view of CE certification of FFP masks

The Rheotens® technology has proven its efficiency to provide very reproducible and accurate measurements. It is also possible to determine slight differences in molecular structure which cannot be found by other methods.

Rotational rheometry is a powerful technique for the measurement of complex shear rheology across all material types – sensitive enough to measure the viscosity of dilute polymer solutions, and yet robust enough to measure the viscoelasticity of high modulus polymers or composites
