Advanced Laboratory Services You Can Trust

LABORATORY SERVICES

Our state-of-the-art laboratory specializes in tribological and rheological evaluations of lubricants and greases, following ASTM and ISO standards. From wear protection and friction coefficient analysis to thermal stability and penetration testing, our services support R&D, production quality control, and certification processes. Each test is conducted under strict protocols to guarantee traceability and consistency of results.

In support of our partners, most laboratory services are provided free of charge to Powderful Solutions customers, helping them optimize formulations, verify performance, and maintain quality without additional cost.
