IPT performs tests for conformity evaluation of furniture (home, office, schools and for use in public spaces) according to Brazilian (NBR) and international standards, including verification of dimensions, stability, mechanical strength and durability, as well as checking ergonomic characteristics. This work includes technical advice for improvements in furniture quality, ranging Read more…
Industrial environments and large construction projects must be planned to achieve specific goals, minimizing the possibility of events such as accidents on the property or its surroundings, as well as possible natural events. IPT has a team of competent specialists to identify dangers that could affect economic, legal or social Read more…
Losses or accidents are undesirable events whose consequences vary from the simple loss of a few minutes up to the complete destruction of an industrial unit or construction. Once an accident has occurred, an investigation begins which may involve different types of studies, including criminal investigations, systemic investigations to prevent Read more…
Industrial processes for transforming raw materials (mineral metallurgical, metallo-mechanical, chemical, etc.) and areas such as civil engineering and the petrochemical sector generate great quantities of residues, which, depending on the processes from which they originated, may be hazardous and require adequate treatment and disposal systems. With the development of value Read more…
Since 1992, IPT has been actively researching technologies for the production of biodegradable plastics, which involve the development of production processes for polyhydroxyalkanoate polymers using renewable raw materials and biotechnological methods. Biodegradable polymers offer an environmentally correct alternative for society, since they are produced from renewable raw materials and not Read more…
Bioremediation is a process or strategy to detoxify the ground or other environments using microorganisms (such as fungi and bacteria) and enzymes. It is based on a process of microbial degradation and on chemical reactions combined with engineering processes to transform contaminants so they no longer pose risks to the Read more…
IPT performs microbiological analyses with a view to ensuring product quality and complying with the requirements of inspection agencies, as well as the domestic and international markets, and to contribute to the protection of consumer health. These analyses include the detection and quantification of contaminants, as well as research on Read more…
Determination of volatile organic compounds in lubricants allows for the identification of contaminants that impair the working of vehicles and machines. IPT determines these compounds using headspace gas chromatography, whereby a comparative analysis is made through mass spectrometry to identify volatile organic compounds present in larger quantities in the lubricant. Read more…
Recent years have seen a growing demand for textile products whose production processes cause lower socio-environmental impacts. In fact, there are international directives for the analysis of contaminants in textiles, product life cycles, and new biodegradable textiles for reducing soil erosion and contamination. To meet the needs of the textile Read more…
The process of transforming animal hides into leather is called tanning and it involves several stages which yield products of varying characteristics, such as semi-processed leather, in the wet-blue state (tanned but not finished), re-tanned or semi-finished, and finished leather, i.e., the end product. Several procedures and chemical products are Read more…
