Laboratory for wood and synthetic materials

In Laboratory for wood and synthetic materials, tests are carried out on products created from nature and mineral raw materials (round wood, sawn timber, wooden panels, parquet, wooden carpentry, stone and glass wool) and products created from organic raw materials (obtained by complex polymerization reactions, such as are: rubber and plastic materials, i.e. various products made of rubber and plastic materials).

Tests of physical and mechanical characteristics of products in the laboratory and in the field include: testing of wood and wood products, testing of moisture content in wood and parquet, as well as humidity of cement screed in the field, testing of adhesives (glues for wood and parquet), determination of waterproofness (resistance to the impact of rain) of glass facades directly on buildings, determination of air and water permeability, as well as resistance to wind load, testing of piping system elements (pipes, fittings, inspection openings (manholes) made of thermoplastic materials, testing of thermal insulation products based on expanded polystyrene (EPS) and extruded (XPS) polystyrene and mineral wool.

The activity of the laboratory includes the certification of production of pipes for water, sewerage and gas, as well as factory control of production facilities.
