Deformulation of mixture in laboratory

Chemical analysis Problem solving R&D support

Your needs: deform an unknown mixture in order to better understand its composition

What is a deformulation?

Deformulation is an analytical breakdown process that aims to separate, identify and quantify the substances that make up a formulation. For this purpose, deformulation uses many different chemical analysis.

This analytical application can be adapted to all types of mixtures: metallic alloys, varnishes, aqueous solutions, plastics, composites, creams…

Deformulation: a valuable tool to better understand the composition of your mixtures

The efficiency and quality of a chemical product being directly linked to its composition, the deformulation of your mixtures is an integral part of their study in order to improve their performance and/or ensure their quality or to meet regulatory requirements.

Through this analytical method, it will be possible to analyze the homogeneity of your products, to compare the physico-chemical properties of several mixtures as well as to understand an unusual phenomenon such as a change of color, deformulation…

FILAB supports you in the deformulation analysis of your mixtures

Thanks to its experience and its state-of-the-art analytical facilities, FILAB laboratory can assist you in your most complex deformulation analysis needs, whatever the nature of your mixture: aqueous solution, powder, polymer, ceramic, metallic material…
