Research and environmental tests

RESEARCH AND ENVIRONMENTAL TESTS

In the current context, environmental preoccupations are of prime importance, directives and regulations concerning the recording, use, transport of chemical substances are multiplying and ecolabels are emerging.

We propose a set of environmental research processes and tests to assess the potential, exposure time and the toxicity of fluids and lubricants.

CHARACTERISTICS OF OUR ENVIRONMENTAL TESTS

All our environmental analyses are conducted according to national and international standards (OECD, ISO, etc.).

 Among our tests, we propose the following environmental measurements :

• Acute toxicity on aquatic organisms (algae, daphnia, fish) and on bacteria
• Ultimate, easy or potential biodegradability
• Solubility in water, bioaccumulation potential
• Superficial tension
• Content of hydrocarbons in waters and grounds
• DBO, DCO
• Etc.
  

To guarantee accurate and reliable results, our laboratory uses leading-edge techniques: GC, HPLC, FTIR, X-Ray FS, ICP-OES, AAS, etc.

We can also carry out tailor made tests to respond to your issues.

Preview of environmental tests

Our team of experienced scientists conduct performance tests on many types of fluids : 

gear oil, compressor oil, hydraulic oil, turbine oil, engine oil, transmission oil, cutting fluid, neat oil, soluble oil, thermal fluid, gasoline, diesel, biodiesel, heating fuel, petrol, antifreeze, de-icing fluid, cooling liquid, brake fluid, windshield washer fluid, dielectric fluid, grease, detergent, waste waters, etc.
