Problem Solving


Material problems require quick resolution - time is money.  If material problems are not quickly addressed they can lead to customer dissatisfaction, long term quality issues and downtime.  All of these are costly.

Do you need testing to get to the root cause of a material problem?  Learn how Dow Corning Analytical Solutions can help you find answers to these types of questions:

  • Why does this lot perform better than a previous lot?
  • Why is my material degrading over time?
  • What is causing my product to be cloudy?
  • Why are components in my material separating in storage?
  • Why is my product not curing properly?
  • Why do I have better adhesion to one substrate than another?

Benefits

  • Access to a wide range of capability and knowledgeable experts
  • Increase your productivity - quick resolution of problems
  • Maintain quality and improve customer satisfaction

Case Study – Additive Concentration Causes Lot-to-Lot Inconsistency
A plastic compounder was experiencing a lot-to-lot consistency issue in their parts that was affecting material properties and quality. They asked us to compare good and bad lots of their plastic to see what the differences were. Analysis determined that a surface active additive in the material was not being consistently added at the same concentration from lot to lot. As a result of the analytical findings, they modified how the additive was injected into the compound.
