Tramontina Delta Laboratory
Delta has two laboratory structures responsible for serving the production of plastic furniture and the porcelain tableware segment. Each of them has two laboratories, one focused on raw material analysis and the other on quality analysis.
Plastic
Through strength tests, the maximum permissible load for the diggers is defined: 154 kg for type A (Residential) and 182 kg for type B (Unrestricted Use). This classification occurs in accordance with Inmetro ordinance No. 166/2021 and ABNT 14776 standard for Chair Certification with the Product Certifying Body (OCP) and release of production batches.
Porcelain
The laboratory analyzes raw materials and monitors the preparation of input (ceramic slip, atomized powder and glaze) for porcelain products, in addition to providing support in the development of new raw materials together with the mining engineer. The tests in the quality laboratory have an investigative and scientific process nature and are not related to release from production processes.
Laser granulometry
Test performed to determine particle sizes of ceramic raw materials and suspensions (ceramic slips and glazes).
Lateral impact durability test
This test consists of simulating an impact on the lateral of the dish using a pendulum system with known mass and impact angle. This test is performed until a fault appears in the product.
