Advanced technologic services regarding the wood sector



Sample species identification of all types of wood.
INCAFUST can carry out the extraction in situ or it can send the sample to the laboratory for its identification.
Identification of the basic physical properties of the wood: density, volumetric strength, hygroscopicity and hardness
Identification of the main mechanical properties of the wood: resistance to static flexion, elasticity flexing module, axial compression resistance and traction resistance, among others
Characterization and control of the quality of the structural elements through the elasticity module determination, resistance to static flexion and density. For glued elements, determination of the cutting resistance of the gluing plans, the thickness of the line of glue, the resistance to the delamination of tail lines, as well as other properties according to the updated normative.
Identification of properties linked to the protection of wood such as the penetration and retention of protective products, the presence of a specific chemical in a sample of treated wood and other aspects that can be relevant in specific situations
Characterization and quality control of wood-based boards through the determination of the resistance to flexion, the quality of gluing, the dimensional variations caused by changes in humidity, the resistance to humidity in Cyclic test conditions and the start of the connectors resistance, among other tests.
Characterization and quality control of wood flooring including the determination of dimensional characteristics (section, rectitude, flatness, dimensional variations), dimensional stability, surface results characteristics (impact resistance, Brinell hardness, resistance to sliding, resistance to chemical agents) and also characteristics such as resistance to flexion or others according to the specific regulations for the analysed product.
Characterization and quality control in wooden containers and packages , by analysing the resistance of the boxes and the packaging. Also by determining the weight capacity, compaction capacity by compression resistance or by static flexion resistance of the base, among others. The review of the quality of the wood used in the production of pallets and packaging, as well as other specifications included in the product regulations, is also offered.
