The themes of the Circular Lab

Biogebaarde materialen

Biobased materials

We develop and test sustainable, biobased alternatives to conventional raw materials. Through pressing, moulding, laminating, and coating, we determine the most suitable mono- or hybrid material for your application.

Salt spray test

Lifetime extension

We extend product lifetimes through surface treatments, reversible coatings, and durability testing. In this way, we help companies use raw materials more efficiently and reduce their environmental impact.

Our most frequently used equipment

Salt spray test

Salt-spray test

Metals are exposed to salt mist in an artificial environment to determine how weather conditions affect the corrosion behaviour of a product.

Discover our salt spray test

Condensation test

Condensation test

Coatings are exposed to an environment with 100% humidity to assess how prolonged moisture exposure influences corrosion behaviour.

Discover our condensation test

UV Weathering test

UV Weathering test

A UV sunlight simulation or weathering test aims to accelerate the damaging effects of sunlight in combination with temperature and humidity.
