Technical literature searches

Case Study 1:
Company looking to find novel ideas to improve permeability of their product

FaraPack Polymers conducted literature reviews, brainstorming sessions with academics and company personnel, and initial feasibility research.

Finally, several approaches were considered and reported to the customer:

  • Additives to current product
  • Chemical modification of base-material
  • Blending with traditional materials
  • Blending with purpose designed block copolymers

Case Study 2:
Company looking to reduce costs of manufacturing process

We proposed several different options to look in to, including:

  • Sourcing cheaper starting materials
  • Sourcing starting materials better suited to the moulding process
  • Sourcing or producing more suitable mould materials

We then worked closely with the company ensuring other desirable properties of the final product were not compromised in the process.
