Our experience in testing construction materials and evaluating their reaction while burning is unparalleled. We can accurately determine the behavior and predict the performance of numerous materials under combustion and near-combustion conditions.

We’ve established a laboratory and full-scale test-burn facility equipped with the most advanced diagnostic and analytical instruments. This comprehensive research center provides data necessary to help designers and regulatory agencies optimize structural fire safety.

If you need to meet strict standards and requirements for transportation, aerospace, construction, or furnishing environments, count on the experts at PDI to show you why it burns—and how to prevent it.
