Composite materials - CILAB Project
20 Fév 2012

Celabor is currently cooperating, for a duration of 4 years, to the CILAB Competitivity project (Composite Innovation Laboratory), supported by Wallonia and Feder.
It is a multi-sectorial platform of innovation and technological transfer on composite materials which comprises, aside from Celabor, Cenaero, Sirris, Multitel and Centexbel.
Celabor leads the workpackage "Industrialisation of biocomposites ".
The objective is to determine in which cases biocomposites, normally reinforced with natural fibres (hemps, flax, wood) can constitute an alternative to conventional materials.
Systematic trials are performed in order to compare the new biosourced materials to the traditional fuel based materials.

New accredited tests at CELABOR
30 Jan 2012

CELABOR is now accredited according to ISO 17025 (by BELAC) for carrying out global migration tests on plastic food packaging.
The accredited tests are those done with aqueous food simulants (simulants A, B, C and D1).

CWALity Programme – Launch of the call for proposals
25 Jan 2012

CELABOR is delighted to announce the launch of the call for proposals regarding the CWALity programme, which is dedicated to Collaborative Research between an SME and a research organisation. If:
•             You are an SME
•             You wish to undertake industrial research in order to develop a new product, process or service meeting a market need and able to be commercially exploitable in the short term
•             Within the framework of this research you want a collaboration with an approved research centre
Then the CWALity call is made for you.

Closure of the ALBAQUA research project
30 Jan 2012

The Cornet ALBAQUA project (http://www.cornet-albaqua.eu), in which Celabor was a partner since 2010, is over. On this occasion a conference was organised on 7 December 2011 in Munich at the head office of the PTS in order to present the results obtained.

You will find further information on this conference and the methods of registration in this document.

Equipment – New equipment for measurement of permeability
25 Jan 2012

CELABOR recently completed its service offer with a GraviTest device, which makes it possible to test water vapour permeability of films (polymer or other materials) through a gravimetric method.
With a range of measurement from 20 to 40°C and from 10 to 90 % relative humidity, this equipment enables CELABOR to carry out these permeability tests in particular in accordance with ISO 2528

Project on PLA recycling
25 Jan 2012

At the beginning of 2011, the Cornet project “PLA-2^nd life” started, for a duration of 2 years. The Cornet project “PLA-2^nd life” is coordinated by DKI and aims to study the recycling of waste from PLA production for its re-use in food packaging. The project is supported by Wallonia. Partners are DKI (Germany), IKV (Germany), VKC (Flanders) and CELABOR (Wallonia).

PLA packaging can be manufactured with the usual polymer transformation techniques. Some production waste is generated during the production process. Usually, this waste is not valorised because the effect of recycling on the properties of the final material is unknown.

This project should help European converters, mainly SMEs, against Asian competition. First, different sources of production waste will be identified and characterised. Additives ... Read more
