Analytical Testing

IntoCeramics can assess the suitability of your materials for new products and processes and help you ask the right questions to find the best solution:

  • How do I know what to test for?
  • How do I determine which tests to run?
  • Where can I find a testing facility to “do it all”?
  • How do I interpret the results of the testing to make the right decisions?

  • Our engineers and ceramists will work with you to understand your needs
  • Recommend relevant testing based on your materials and processes
  • Manage sample handling and submission to BMRC including correlation of reporting for multiple samples
  • Extremely competitive pricing
