GE Advanced Materials' Upgraded Polymer Compound Development Lab Helps Speed Customer Innovation Process
GE's $250,000 (USD) investment represents a major step up in its value-added services for customers, and signifies the company's continuing commitment to helping drive profitable growth for its customers. Improvements to the lab enable customers to collaborate with GE on product development by sharing proof-of-concept and other qualification work with rapid turnaround. In addition, the Polymer Compound Development Lab allows for exploration of next-generation ideas in filler and compound technology.
GE equipped its improved facility with the tools to measure thermal, rheological, and physical performance, enabling OEMs to evaluate the impact of filler technologies on their designs. The lab incorporates state-of-the-art analytical tools to help further advances in the use of fillers in a broad range of electronic applications including thermal interface materials and thermoplastic components.
GE's Polymer Compound Development Lab came online in January 2005, and now offers customers the ability to apply an array of compounding technologies to a wide range of polymers, including silicones, epoxies, acrylics, and thermoplastic resins.
