[Wqc seminar - 'setting standards in materials testing']
This consultancy service is aimed at helping clients to understand and meet the scientific/technical requirements of the test standards. As part of the consulting process we can carry out specific tests on your products in order to identify the best formulations/processing conditions for meeting the test requirements. Experience has shown that in many cases, in partnership, we have been able to accomplish this aim.
To enable us to help you understand test material/product failures we need to have details of the materials - what they are made of and how they are made. If you decide to use our offer of consultancy you will need to supply us with the following information:
  • formulation, including all ingredients (chemical, not trade names)
  • concentrations of all ingredients as either as % or phr  
  • method of manufacture.
  • any mould release agents or extrusion die lubricants used
  • for rubber products we require the cure time and temperature and details of any post-cure used
Confidentiality
If you provide us with commercially sensitive information we are prepared to enter into a confidentiality agreement with you or your supplier. Alternatively you may find that our statement of confidentiality meets your requirements.
