How Materials Infobase Works
With Materials Infobase you can locate materials, Standards or suppliers using many different fields, depending on the piece of information you hold. You can search by:
- tensile strength
- density
- load
- flammability
- resistance
- mould shrinkage
- temperature
- water absorption
- material type
- supplier
- trade name
- or any combination of these
You can quickly and easily:
identify comparable materials or a material with your required properties
compare different properties including mechanical, physical, thermal, impact, electrical, processing etc
manage referenced Standards
identify who manufactures a material or source details of the Standard in which it is specified
monitor lists of materials, suppliers and Standards for updates to give a proven procedure for quality audits (ISO 9000)
access detailed bibliographic records of applicable test method Standards
purchase the relevant Standards
You can monitor your own lists of Materials, manufacturers or Standards, and once made you will receive an email each quarter detailing which Materials, manufacturers or Standards have been updated
With its exclusive Bookmark feature, Materials Infobase removes an audit obstacle and helps to ensure ISO 9000 Quality compliance, or other legal, industry or business improvement obligations.
You can even attach your own searchable notes to any record, e.g. the performance of a material, application for a given material or specific test method, supplier details, a manufacturer’s delivery schedule, prices etc.
Notepad can even inform you of the status of a document you currently hold: whether or not it is a controlled copy, details of the project it relates to or library loan details.
