Technical Consulting offered by East West Enterprise, LLC covers extensive hands-on experience in broad range of industries including automotive, medical, industrial, consumer goods.
The expertise in polymer technologies of rubber, plastic, adhesive, coating brings added advantage. Engineering, research, development, trouble shooting, design, material selection, compliance, formulation, training, process optimization, laboratory analysis, quality system and above all manufacturing are the core consulting areas.
Research in any of the polymer material encompasses extensive testing, evaluations, validations, and technical knowledge of materials, compliance and many more. Development on the other hand is based on the results of the research of particular material-rubber, plastic, adhesive, coating. As an example, development of rubber product involves selection of a particular rubber polymer (EPDM, NBR, FKM etc.) with distinct properties, formulations, testing, validation, design and eventually processing to manufacture.
Similarly, technical adhesive selection requires knowledge of particular type of adhesive (C/A, MMA, EPOXY etc.)-its chemical and physical characteristics. The material to be bonded and the application procedures are integral part of this research and development. As an example, ethyl cyanoacrylate is good for general material surfaces but methyl cyanoacrylate is good for hard to bond surfaces like metal. Solvent cleaned versus not cleaned substrate make significant difference on adhesive bond strength. Temperature, humidity, surface energy and force play vital roles in determining the adhesive performances.
Advanced coating like adhesive is guided by similar parameters but results and performance are different based on the products and applications. As an example, fluoroelastomer based coating offers slip resistance, corrosion, heat, chemical resistances and many more tangible properties for metal, rubber and other surfaces. Again, the research and development works hand to hand for final product performance.
