Chemistry Laboratory Department

Main activities of the Chemical Laboratory Department:

  • Performs tests and analyzes of the purity of hydraulic fluids used in aircraft maintenance
  • Performs tests of lubricating oils, hydraulic fluids and oils used as fluids in cooling systems
  • Performs assessment of the suitability of lubricating fluids for specific applications
  • Performs analyzes of solutions and baths at the surface treatment workshop
