The laboratory now has the capability to handle (1) Tensile strength, (2) Flex resistance, (3) Rub fastness and (4) Physical dimensional requirements of leather materials and products.
The laboratory has been established to address the current and future anticipated demand for the analysis of quality of leather products in Rwanda.
