MARINO SRL performs sampling and physical and chemical analysis to characterise products such as:

lubricating oils and greases (hydraulic oils, compressor oils, turbine oils, industrial oils), waste oils, fuel oils, oil emulsions, and petroleum products in general.

  • pH
  • Density
  • Neutralisation value
  • Number of basicities
  • Water content
  • Flash point and boiling point
  • Calorific value
  • Sulphur and chlorine content
  • Viscosity
  • Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs)
  • Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs)
  • Aromatic solvents (benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, xylenes and higher aromatics)
  • Metals

MARINO SRL performs analysis on polymers for quality control purposes and to identify unknown materials.

The analyses conducted by FT-IR allow us to:

  • Define polymer classes
  • Evaluate whether a compound is pure or a mixture of multiple polymers
  • Evaluate the differences between different batches of the same raw material

ANALYSIS OF FOOD CONTACT MATERIALS

MARINO SRL handles the safety and legislative compliance of materials and packaging intended for contact with food substances, as required by current legislation.

The main materials we test include:
  • Plastic materials, articles and packaging
  • Single- and/or multi-material, multi-layer materials, packaging and manufactured components
  • Materials and items made from paper and cardboard
  • Metallic materials
  • Glass and ceramic materials
We can test for the following characteristics:
  • Global migration in aqueous simulants, hydroalcoholic mixtures, and oil
  • Specific migrations of restricted substances
  • Migration of traces of processing aids
  • Purity requirements
  • Dye migration
  • Testing for pollutants (phthalates, aromatic amines, residual solvents, formaldehyde, bisphenol A, vinyl chloride, benzene, naphthalene, and polychlorinated biphenyls)
  • Heavy metal testing
  • Sensory tests
