Core offering

ioKinetic is an ISO/IEC 17025 accredited laboratory that provides process safety testing and consulting services, including chemical reactivity, combustible dust characterization, flammability, physical properties, and specialized testing (battery safety, blasting cap, large-scale), complemented by process safety consulting and Process Safety training via AIChE Academy. The lab operates as an ioMosaic company and sells its services through project-based engagements billed by quote.

Product overview

ioKinetic is an ISO/IEC 17025 accredited laboratory testing services company offering a comprehensive portfolio of process safety testing and consulting services. The core offerings include chemical reactivity testing (ARC, APTAC, DSC/DTA, TGA, VSP2), combustible dust characterization testing (including Explosibility 4-Pack, KSt/Pmax, MIE, MAIT, MEC, burn rate, HSIT, LOC, volume resistivity, chargeability, PSA), flammability testing (flash point, heat of combustion), physical properties measurement (density, speed of sound, thermal effusivity/conductivity, viscosity), and specialized testing services (battery safety, blasting cap, large-scale, specialty sample preparation). These laboratory services are complemented by process safety consulting services including hazard analysis (PHA/DHA), kinetic modeling, deflagration vent design, reactive pressure relief system design, and on-site assessments, along with process safety training programs. The company operates as a single integrated service offering with experienced professionals who help clients define testing needs, conduct testing, interpret data, and perform detailed analysis to identify hazards and control risk.

Functional benefit

Products and services

• Chemical Reactivity Testing Accredited laboratory testing of reactive chemicals to characterize runaway reaction hazards, thermal stability, and calorimetric behavior, used by chemical, petrochemical, pharmaceutical, and specialty materials companies for process safety and relief system design.
• Combustible Dust Testing Explosibility testing of dusts and bulk solids to determine KSt, Pmax, minimum explosible concentration (MEC), and minimum ignition energy, supporting NFPA and OSHA compliance for manufacturers and processors of powders, plastics, food, and grain/feed products.
• Flammability Testing Testing of materials and chemicals for flammability characteristics, including flash point, fire point, and sustained burning behavior, used to classify materials and support safe handling, storage, and transportation.
• Physical Properties Measurement Measurement of physical properties such as density, viscosity, thermal conductivity, and gas pycnometry on client materials, providing data used in process design, safety calculations, and engineering studies.
• Specialized Testing Services Project-specific laboratory testing for niche process safety needs, including Biofuels, Explosives, Blasting Cap, and Large-Scale testing campaigns that fall outside routine chemical reactivity or dust explosibility work.
• Process Safety Services Consulting and engineering services covering relief system design, two-phase flow modeling, inherently safer design, and process safety management support, drawing on ioMosaic's consulting expertise and Process Safety Office® software.
• Process Safety Training Training programs delivered through AIChE Academy covering process safety topics for engineers, scientists, and EHS professionals in chemical and related industries.

Broad incumbents

• Intertek: Global TIC firm offering industrial testing, materials characterization, and product safety services. Overlaps with ioKinetic's laboratory testing capabilities across chemical, manufacturing, and energy clients.
• SGS: World's largest TIC company with global accredited laboratories covering industrial testing, environmental, and safety services. Competes with ioKinetic in industrial and chemical process safety testing.
• DEKRA: Global TIC firm with strong process safety and chemical testing capabilities through its Chilworth subsidiary. Overlaps with ioKinetic's combustible dust and reactive chemistry work while serving a much broader client base.
• Eurofins Scientific: International testing group with extensive laboratory networks serving pharma, food, and chemical clients. Provides comparable analytical and physical properties testing services to ioKinetic at greater scale.
• ALS Global: International testing services provider with industrial, environmental, and life sciences laboratory capabilities. Overlaps with ioKinetic's physical properties measurement and materials characterization offerings.
• Bureau Veritas: Global TIC incumbent with extensive industrial testing, asset integrity, and HSE services. Competes with ioKinetic for combustible dust and process safety work as part of a much broader testing and certification portfolio.
• TÜV SÜD: Global Testing, Inspection & Certification (TIC) giant that operates process safety testing and certification services across industries. ioKinetic is a partner with TÜV SÜD, and the firms directly compete for process safety and combustible dust characterization work while TÜV SÜD offers a much broader portfolio.

Direct peers

• Fauske & Associates: Specialized process safety testing and consulting firm offering calorimetry (VSP2, ARC), DIERS testing, and reactive chemicals hazard evaluation. Closest direct competitor to ioKinetic in the niche of chemical reactivity and emergency relief system design.
• Chilworth (part of DEKRA): Process safety testing and consulting firm specializing in chemical reactivity, dust explosibility, electrostatic hazards, and thermal analysis. Directly competes with ioKinetic in combustible dust and reactive chemicals characterization.

Emerging players

• ioMosaic Corporation: Process safety software and consulting firm that holds an exclusive partnership with ioKinetic. While complementary rather than purely competitive, both firms serve the same chemical processing clients with overlapping kinetic modeling, PHA, and pressure relief design capabilities.
