Development of building materials
At TESELA, we develop and improve construction materials tailored to the technical requirements of each project. Our work ranges from the selection and characterisation of raw materials through to formulation, prototype manufacturing, performance evaluation and product validation.
Our team combines scientific expertise, materials experience and testing capabilities to deliver more efficient, durable and sustainable solutions. We work alongside manufacturers and companies in the sector to develop new products and optimise existing materials and processes.
Innovation in building materials
Innovation in building materials involves the development of new products and the improvement of existing formulations to achieve specific performance characteristics. It may include the use of alternative raw materials, industrial by-products, recycled components or new manufacturing technologies.
Importance of innovative materials
The development of innovative materials makes it possible to address needs such as reducing environmental impact, improving durability, enhancing energy efficiency and optimising the use of resources. For a solution to be viable, its performance must be demonstrated through testing and compared with the relevant technical requirements.
At TESELA, we approach the development of materials based on the technical and functional objectives defined for each project. We investigate conventional and alternative raw materials, design formulations and evaluate their performance through laboratory tests and validation trials.
Our development process
The scope is tailored to the product’s stage of maturity and the needs of each company. The process may include:
- Definition of the technical requirements and objectives of the material.
- Selection and characterisation of raw materials.
- Formulation design and optimisation.
- Manufacture of test specimens or prototypes.
- Performance and durability tests.
- Analysis of results and validation of the solution.
Technical support for assessment and CE marking
Where the product and the applicable regulations so require, TESELA offers technical support to assess its performance and prepare the necessary documentation for CE marking. We carry out tests, analyse the relevant requirements and assist in generating technical evidence to facilitate the product’s placing on the market.
Solutions tailored to each project
We work with manufacturers, construction companies, engineering firms and R&D organisations to develop solutions tailored to their needs. Our service may focus on creating a new material, improving an existing formulation, incorporating alternative raw materials, resolving manufacturing issues or validating specific performance characteristics.
The development or improvement of a material can offer various benefits depending on the project’s objectives and the performance ultimately demonstrated:
- Resource utilisation: the incorporation of secondary raw materials, by-products or recycled components.
- Performance improvement: optimisation of mechanical, physical, chemical or functional properties.
- Greater durability: developing solutions that are better suited to conditions of use and exposure.
- Process efficiency: reducing the consumption of raw materials, energy or manufacturing stages.
- Product differentiation: creating solutions with new features or applications.
- Support for sustainability: assessment of alternatives aimed at reducing the material’s environmental impact.
How do you know if a material is truly innovative?
An innovative material must offer a significant improvement over existing solutions, whether in terms of performance, durability, the manufacturing process, resource use, environmental impact or functionality. Novelty alone does not guarantee that the product is technically suitable.
It is therefore necessary to define measurable indicators, carry out comparative tests and verify that the material meets the requirements set for its application. TESELA helps to transform an initial proposal into a solution that has been evaluated using data and technical evidence.
If your company needs to develop a new material, improve a formulation or validate a construction solution, TESELA can support you from the initial definition right through to the technical evaluation of the product.
We examine each case to propose a work plan tailored to your objectives, the stage of development of the solution and the requirements of its future implementation.
