Expert has led two companies from inception to ISO 9001 registration. This entailed writing the ISO documentation, training the personnel, auditing, and working with the registrar. His unique insights in to the ISO 9001 Quality Standard enables him to develop quality management systems that is accurate, realistic, and when implemented and followed will keep the company in compliance.
Expert formulated many metalworking fluids. From straight oils to high performance water based synthetics, Expert has experience formulating and servicing these fluids. Expert's formulating expertise led him to assist in the design, and formulate the first metalworking fluid used to manufacture the Cadillac North Star Engine
Expert formulated many Silicon Wafer Slicing fluids. These ranged from wire sawing fluids to the water based reciprocating saw coolants. Further, Expert has experience servicing these fluids.
Formulating any type of lubricant requires an in-depth understand of surfactants. Regardless of the surfactant type, one must know how to use surfactants to obtain the lubrication and surface-active properties for the specific lubricant.
Expert formulated many metal forming lubricants. From straight oils to high performance water based synthetics, Expert has experience formulating and servicing these fluids.
Expert formulated many corrosion inhibitors. From straight oils to high performance water based synthetics, Expert has experience formulating and servicing these fluids.
