Testing for Building Materials

The building materials industry is increasingly looking to non-conventional materials for novel applications. These include plastic lumber, polymer extrusions, composite panels, aluminum and impact resistant glass.

Tests of interest include process simulation data, weathering, creep and fatigue properties, impact resistance and crash properties.
