Research and development form the crux of our chemical testing and other processes. We, at AL Hoty-Stanger, provide deformulation, material testing, and identification, followed by failure and polymer analysis. Moreover, we also do soil testing and other specialized tests for the various sectors like textile and agricultural domains. 

How We Take forward Our Testing

We have years of experience in testing while complying with the standards of BS, ASTM, AASHTO, CIRIA, and others. After all, we are a leading ISO-9001 organization, and that only gives us plenty of responsibility while providing the best tests. 

Our testing includes quality control testing and troubleshooting while also revolutionizing tests for getting accreditation and more. Check our detailed multi-level testing and analytical programs that are critical to concrete testing as well. 

Our test results hold great value in every sector, and hence, we provide routine and non-routine testing. We know many companies need to ensure the ingredients quality testing also for ensuring superior durability. Thus, our concrete and chemical analyses are the best. 

AL Hoty-Stanger offers RoHS testing and tracing of unknown chemicals in products for the entire Middle East. Contact us to check the components in soil and checks of cementitious materials, steel, asphalt, and more. We offer detailed reports and give detailed notes for use by the authorities.
