Building Materials
The omnipresence of water in our world makes moisture interactions with potential building materials amongst the most important factors in verifying feasibility. To manage moisture in buildings, predict durability and degradation, and determine thermal insulation efficiency, understanding the complex mechanical relationship between your material, it’s physical and surface properties, and water is essential.
Key Challenges We Solve
Understanding moisture-material interactions is critical for pharmaceutical development and manufacturing
Moisture Management
Measure vapour sorption and diffusion properties to understand moisture transport in construction materials.
Durability & Degradation
Predict long-term material performance by analysing moisture-induced structural changes.
Mould Risk Assessment
Determine hygroscopic behaviour and sorption hysteresis to evaluate moisture accumulation and mould risk.
Insulation Efficiency
Quantify moisture effects on thermal insulation materials to maintain energy-efficient building performance.
