INDUSTRIAL MATERIALS

LABORATORY

The Analitica Laboratory performs mineralogical, chemical, morphological and granulometric analyses for quality control of ceramic materials, sandstones, cements, glazes, glasses, zeolites, metals, cosmetics and polymers.

Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), X-Ray Diffraction (XRD), X-Ray Fluorescence (XRF) studies are performed on raw materials and mixtures used in the ceramic process and in the production of cements, clinkers, fillers, aggregates, glasses and glazes.

X-ray diffractometric analyses of residual austenite in the production of steels in the metallurgical sector and of copper and zinc oxides in metal scrap are performed.

Grain size analyses by laser diffraction and image analysis (Feret diameter and equivalent diameter) are performed on raw and industrial materials by otical and scanning electron microsocpy by using a dedicated software.
