We have a wide range of certified materials and we collaborate with our suppliers in the development of new materials with better performance and more respectful with the environment.
To complete the approvals of the compounds we rely on external laboratories or the central laboratory of the Ar-Tex Group in Italy.
For applications to be used in contact with gas or water, or for the automotive industry, we have a long list of certified materials.
Do not hesitate to contact us for more detailed information.
