Materials Development Services

The material development services group brokers in novel ideas and concepts that require development. We "think out of the box", willing to apply novel approaches to find materials solutions. One of our unique talents is to build progressive, confidential evaluation programs that result in real materials solutions. In some cases we provide short term contract materials research and in other instances we have forged long-term partnerships with government agencies and with private technology companies. Technical services include polymer materials development, formulation, compounding, qualification, selection, test methods development, standards testing, consulting and project management.

Since 1944, Specialized Technology Resources (STR) has assisted its customers to confidentially convert materials concepts and ideas into products that meet safety, performance, and aesthetic requirements. Some typical uses our confidential services include:

• Process Design & Improvement
• Materials Conceptualization
• Raw Materials Evaluations
• Materials Design
• Compounding
• Formulation
• Prototyping

The materials development group has recently expanded development activities to include laboratory paper recycling studies in support of pressure sensitive adhesive development, stickies control, and contamination analysis.
