Before you can design, specify or certify a product, you need to know exactly what your material can and cannot do. Material characterisation gives you the full picture, so every decision that follows is built on solid data, not assumptions.

Mechanical, chemical and functional testing

Mechanical testing covers strength, hardness, impact resistance and related properties across metals, plastics, composites and coatings. Chemical testing determines composition and material purity, essential for verifying material grade or investigating unexpected behaviour. Functional testing looks beyond strength alone, at properties like heat deflection or thermal transition points, that determine how a material performs in its intended application.

One lab, three disciplines

Few labs in Belgium offer this breadth under one roof. Instead of sending samples to different specialists for mechanical, chemical and functional data, you get a single, coordinated set of results, interpreted by the same team.

Why Sirris

A number on a report only matters if you know what it means for your product. Our material scientists and engineers help you interpret results in the context of your design, your specification, or the standard you need to meet.
