Case Study
Manufacturer of fire resistive materials needs materials performance answers
Manufacturers rely on raw materials in the production process to
maintain quality control and product consistency. Should supplier,
production, worker health and safety or regulatory issues require a
substitute or replacement material, the manufacturer is faced with
choosing a material that meets the established quality and
consistency criteria. Our client needed to determine whether the
use of raw material from different sources affected the properties
of his final product.
Ensuring that raw materials will react the same throughout the
manufacturing process and ultimately result in a final product
exhibiting the same specifications and characteristics requires
expertise in all phases of the material's composition. RJ Lee Group
scientists evaluated the physical and chemical properties of the
raw materials from each source to detect any deviation or
variation. Based on these results, they could assess how the
material would react when incorporated into the final product. We
then tested the finished product to required specifications to
determine compliance and to assess any variation in product
characteristics or quality.
Several sources of raw materials were evaluated and proven to meet
specification in the finished product. The ability to choose
alternate materials and explore multiple material sources allowed
our client to remain competitive by increasing supply sources and
reducing material costs.
