CETEMCO has very advanced means: hydraulic binders and materials characterization laboratory and thermal laboratory to analyze and characterize natural materials which can be used, either directly in construction or in the manufacturing of construction products.
♦ The elemental chemical composition of a material
♦ Its mineralogical phases;
♦ Its microscopy;
♦ Its texture such as grain size, porosity, density, specific surface area…;
♦ Its thermal performances: conductivity, calorific value…
♦ Compliance assessment of the material with its normative reference;
♦ The formulation of a product;
♦ Products and constructions pathology expertise;
♦ Recognition and identification of raw material deposits.
♦ Soil characterization
