Rubber Consulting Services
Rubber Design
What is rubber design? Using process analysis and simulations, ACE optimizes designs quickly. You get a shorter product development cycle, meaning innovative new products take less time to produce and land in your customers’ hands.
Rubber Testing
At ACE, we use our knowledge of the rubber industry to create a course of testing unique to your products’ needs and your overall rubber testing goals. Your rubber material will undergo a series of tests that reveal valuable data about its properties and behaviors under certain conditions. Rubber and polymer testing is used for research and development, quality control, and product development.
Rubber Engineering
While natural rubber is created from the sap of rubber trees, today, rubber includes its synthetic forms, too. In engineering, rubber helps absorb shocks (i.e., bumpers), store energy (i.e., bungee cords), seal fluids (i.e., O-rings), and more. ACE’s polymer engineering expertise can help you create functional, innovative products from natural or synthetic rubber.
Rubber Manufacturing
ACE is here to guide you through every step of the rubber manufacturing processes. Polymer manufacturing begins in different places depending on the source–whether its a rubber tree for natural rubber, or in a lab for synthetic rubber. ACE has expert knowledge on the compounding, mixing, and shaping of that rubber for products you’ll be proud of.
Silicone Consulting Services
SILICONE DESIGN
ACE can help you design your silicone products for manufacturability and high performance. When prototypes and products are designed with silicone manufacturing in mind, you can streamline your operations for success. ACE is ready to help with your silicone design needs, from simple silicone parts to the most complex designs.
Silicone Testing
Silicone testing involves putting your silicone material through a series of tests to understand its behavior and properties. ACE can design tests based on the end-use conditions your material will experience. Whether you’re looking to research a new product or ensure quality control, silicone testing with ACE leads to quality silicone products.
Silicone Engineering
Silicone rubber is a non-reactive, stable, and weather-resistant elastomer. Its sturdiness against extreme environments and temperatures make it a frequent choice for automobiles, aircrafts, electronics, hVAC systems, and more. When developing silicone products for any industry, you want sound engineering behind every decision. That’s where ACE comes in–consult with us for engineering insight you can trust.
Silicone Manufacturing
As experts in the rubber and silicone industries, ACE’s consultants know how to streamline manufacturing processes to help raise the bottom line and cut back on waste. Bring us your challenges, and we will work with you to develop solutions that take your manufacturing process to the next level of productivity and innovation.
