Testing & Compliance
Identify required tests, acceptance criteria and applicable standards. Evaluations may include mechanical testing, rheometry, thermal aging and application-specific assessments.
Define Your Material Requirements
A clear understanding of your material requirements helps us evaluate the most suitable formulation approach. An existing Technical Data Sheet (TDS) is a useful starting point, but you can also begin with target properties, application conditions, and processing requirements.
Technical Evaluation & Sample Development
From initial specification review to sample evaluation, we assess material requirements, identify suitable formulation options and prepare samples for technical evaluation.
PHASE 1
Technical Review & Feasibility
We review your specifications, assess material and processing requirements, and establish a suitable development approach.
Specification Review
Review existing TDS documents, target material properties and application requirements to establish the technical specifications.
Material & Process Assessment
Assess material compatibility, performance targets, curing systems and processing requirements to identify suitable formulation options.
Technical Alignment
Clarify outstanding requirements, discuss potential adjustments and agree on the proposed development approach.
PHASE 2
Sample Development & Evaluation
Suitable formulations are prepared and evaluated to assess their material properties and processing behavior against agreed requirements.
Formulation & Sample Preparation
Select suitable base materials, pigments and additives, then prepare samples according to the agreed formulation requirements.
Processing & Property Evaluation
Evaluate curing and processing behavior and assess agreed material properties through available testing capabilities.
Results & Sample Submission
Document available test results and technical observations, then arrange sample delivery for customer evaluation and feedback.
NEXT STEP
Specification Approval & Production Planning
Following successful sample evaluation and agreement on the material specifications, the project can proceed to quotation and production planning.
CUSTOM FORMULATION & MATERIAL DEVELOPMENT
Custom Silicone Formulation & Performance Testing
Custom silicone formulation combines application requirements, material selection, and controlled formulation development to achieve specified processing and performance characteristics. Laboratory evaluation supports formulation refinement, verifies relevant material properties, and assesses processing behavior and batch reproducibility against agreed technical requirements.
Formulation Development
Evaluation of material compositions and selected ingredients to develop compounds aligned with defined application and processing requirements.
Processing & Cure Evaluation
Assessment of rheological behavior, processing characteristics, and curing performance to refine formulation suitability.
Performance Validation
Testing of relevant physical, mechanical, thermal, and functional properties against agreed formulation and application requirements.
Batch Reproducibility
Verification of selected material characteristics across development and production batches to support formulation consistency.
Development & Technical Documentation: Custom formulation specifications, material evaluation reports, relevant processing and curing data, agreed performance results, and production batch records.
Following specification approval and sample evaluation, we establish project pricing, confirm production requirements and plan the transition to repeatable manufacturing. Quality checks, documentation and delivery arrangements are defined according to the agreed project requirements.
Quotation, Scale-Up & Production
Quotation & Costing
Establish project pricing based on formulation requirements, additives, processing complexity, order quantity and other project-specific factors.
Order Confirmation
Confirm approved specifications, material identification, order quantity, packaging and delivery terms before production.
Production Scale-Up & Quality Control
Establish production parameters and apply agreed quality checks to support consistent material properties across production batches.
Documentation & Delivery
Prepare agreed quality documentation and traceability records, then arrange packaging and dispatch according to project requirements.
