Laboratory
It is a continuously evolving environment where new tools, analytical methods, and chemical solutions are developed, while quality and safety standards are constantly enhanced across our product range. Quoting the physicist Burton Richter. “Modern science is fast-moving, and no laboratory can exist for long with a program based on old facilities. Innovation and renewal are required to keep a laboratory on the frontiers of science”.
The objective of Hocsol’s laboratory is to provide innovative, high-performance, reliable, and fast tailor-made solutions to meet each customer’s specific requirements.
The laboratory takes care of many aspect of the company’s activity. Beside the development of engineering and chemical tailor-made solutions, it analyses incoming raw materials and outgoing products in order to satisfy the Hocsol high quality standards. Each chemical – whether it is a raw material or a finished product – goes through several severe approval steps that check its conformity to the requested chemical-physical parameters and to the expected performance.
Hocsol’s commitment to high quality begins with the careful selection of incoming raw materials. The company chooses suppliers of chemicals and components through a structured qualification process that evaluates compliance with international standards related to quality, safety, environmental responsibility, and sustainability. Among the approved sources, preference is given to materials that offer the best balance between environmental performance and technical efficiency.
The laboratory represents a key pillar of quality assurance and innovation, promoting the continuous development of Hocsol’s engineering and chemical solutions for its clients.
