The THERMOPHYSICAL LABORATORY PROTOLAB began operations in 2005, providing thermophysical analysis services for materials, such as thermal diffusivity and conductivity.
In 2014, it designed and manufactured the Quadruflash 1200 Thermal Diffusivimeter, supplied to the Thermophysical Properties Laboratory at CDTN-CNEN/MG.
In subsequent phases, it expanded its services to include technical reports on other spectrums, such as X-ray diffraction, thermal and chemical analyses.
Eventually, through natural evolution, Protolab ventured into the development of new techniques and materials, such as additives for low-temperature ceramic sintering (1,200–1,300°C) and Metallic Diamond alloys, which are now its flagship product.
