Anderson Materials Evaluation (AME) has provided extensive materials and compound analyses for a diverse range of consumer goods customers across various industries. Here’s how we’ve partnered with different sectors:

Consumer Goods: Automotive & Boating

In the automotive industry, AME resolves a variety of materials problems and aids in product development. We’ve tackled issues such as adhesive bonding problems, corrosion, and plastic degradation. Our expertise extends to characterizing hard alloys under various stresses, analyzing coatings for wear reduction in high-performance engines, and investigating components from windshield glass to braking materials. We also assist clients in the boating industry with composite materials inspections, propeller shaft failures, and corrosion issues.

We’ve collaborated with industry leaders including General Motors, Honda, Carlisle, JE Pistons, and Pilkington. Contact us to discuss how we can assist with your auto manufacturing and boating materials challenges.

Food & Beverage

In the Food and Beverage industry, AME analyzes materials related to packaging, ingredients, and processing equipment. We verify thermal properties of packaging materials, solve sealing and adhesive bonding problems, and ensure product integrity and cleanliness. Our work includes characterizing food products, identifying inert additives, and analyzing particle size and shape (such as SEM imaging of chocolate). We also address issues like corrosion, contamination, wear, cleaning effectiveness, coating integrity, and sensor and electronic controls.

We’ve partnered with Grace Materials Technologies, Winpak, Monsanto, the FDA, and several prominent food and beverage brands. Contact us to learn how we can support your food and beverage materials challenges.

Personal & Household Goods

For personal and household goods, AME conducts materials characterization to ensure products meet specifications and enhance performance. Our analyses help clients develop competitive products, such as correlating materials composition properties with sound quality in musical instrument strings. We apply composition analysis, thermal analysis, corrosion testing, and microscopy to products ranging from gemstones to plastic cups.

We also investigate product defects, including adhesive bonding issues, tarnishing, corrosion, and materials composition issues. For instance, we determined fiberglass content in sporting goods materials to resolve stiffness requirements, offering insights where previous analyses had failed.
