We take on single questions and longer projects.
Choose the right material for your product.
We compare non-metallic materials against your requirements: strength, temperature, chemical resistance, processing, and cost.
Get the right mix of polymer, fillers, additives, and oils.
We develop and adjust compounds for your target properties, including stabilizers, flame retardants, reinforcements, colorants, and recycled content.
Buy the right equipment and scale up in steps.
We specify equipment, check how it fits your current line, and plan the scale-up. If you are not ready to invest, we find contract manufacturers for trial batches.
Fix problems on your production line.
We help identify and solve production problems, reduce scrap and defects, and improve cycle times. We also develop practical test methods and document production processes when needed for licensing or regulatory requirements.
Develop, test, and improve chemical processes.
We support the development of chemical processes from initial concepts and laboratory testing to prototypes and pilot-scale trials. We help evaluate materials, test operating conditions, troubleshoot process issues, and prepare processes for production.
Find out why a part failed.
We look at the likely causes: load, chemicals, heat, UV, aging, mold and microbes, contamination, design, and manufacturing. We combine the part's history, production records, and lab results.
Find out which rules apply to your product, and how to comply.
We cover food contact, medical use, and restricted substances. We check your documentation and list the tests and evidence you still need.
Meet your recycling and producer-responsibility obligations.
We explain your Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) obligations, check how recyclable your product is, and plan how to use more recycled material.
An independent review before you invest.
Before you invest in, license, or partner with a company, we review its technology, [patents], and ability to scale up, and explain the main risks.
We attend trade fairs and conferences for you.
We visit suppliers, look for new technologies, and report back.
One question, answered in a short written report.
Agreed scope and milestones: trials, testing, supplier contact, and documentation.
