Deformulation, study of the chemical composition of formulas or materials

What is reverse engineering?

Reverse engineering of a commercial product, often made up of a complex mixture, involves determining the nature and quantities of the raw materials present in the formulation, by means of various chemical analyses.

This application can be applied to different types of products, formulas and materials: paints, plastics (polymers), composites, metals and metal alloys, varnishes...

In what context do industries need to check the chemical composition of products or materials?

Analyze and determine the composition of an unknown mixture

Check compliance with a Safety Data Sheet (SDS) or technical data sheet

Compare the composition of several products (double-sourcing or multi-sourcing)

Analysis of competing products

Analyse and identify pollution or impurities

The success of deformulation depends on a thorough understanding of the target application and the use of rigorous analytical methods to characterize the chemical composition of the organic and inorganic fractions.
