Deformulation is a method of analysing a formulated chemical product and separating it into its constituent components and identifying each compound and the quantity present so that the end result is a “recipe” for the product.
Clients can have many reasons for deformulation of products such as checking a product for banned substances, confirmation of product identity, benchmarking or competitor product reverse engineering.
We can help you understand the nature of the various components of a formulation, ingredient concentration and how these components and ingredients interact. Formulation studies are run for quality control issues and for evaluating market penetration of particular components.
We can perform deformulation on a virtually all products and formulations such as:
cleaning products
polymer mixtures
surface treatment agents
cosmetics and personal care products
fragrances
surfactant mixtures
We are capable of not only performing the deformulation work but you can take advantage of our formulation experience to advise you as to performance improvements or environmental benefits depending upon your requirements.
We have a powerful combination of analytical techniques and experience which allows us to deformulate a product comprehensively and cost-effectively.
Please contact us to discuss your needs confidentially.
