When working with wood, various fiber sources and their resulting products, you’re dealing with materials of a complex nature. Econotech has the expertise, equipment, and established procedures to explore the composition of the complex materials in your current or proposed project and give you results you can depend on.
We can analyze cellulose, its extractives, lignin, and other related materials that are part of your process. Econotech follows standard methods from TAPPI, PAPTAC, SCAN, ASTM, and others to generate results.
