This is the place in which the chemical engineer of the factories worked in the second half of the 20th century. The control of the proportion between metals in the alloys, as well as in their baths and patinas, requiered rigorous tests and knowledge based of proven experiencies.

 

Before its restoration the state of this room was deplorable: broken glasses and materials, moisture in the walls… an unjustifiable state for this important heritage. The lack of bars on the lower windows of the entire building led to looting for years and caused the bad state in which the factory was found before starting the restoration works. A recreation of the laboratory has been made as it should have been at the time, with the original tools.
