Deformulation of materials in the laboratory
Reminder : deformulation, what are we talking about ?
The deformulation, or otherwise called “reverse engineering”, consists in determining the nature and the quantities of materials present in a material or a formulation. In short, it consists in analyzing and fragmenting its chemical composition.
The process of deformulation of materials is used in various industrial contexts…
INDUSTRIAL CONTEXTS
Compare your material to the properties of a competing material (double-sourcing or multi-sourcing)
Analyze and determine the composition of an unknown material
To study the conformity of a material with respect to its data sheet or MSDS
To understand an unusual phenomenon on a material
In this area, FILAB has set up deformulation services adapted to materials and solids such as powders, metal alloys, ceramics and polymers.
FILAB: a service dedicated to the deformulation of materials
The success of a deformulation of materials lies in a good knowledge of the targeted application and the implementation of rigorous analysis methods. Thus, it allows to characterize the chemical composition of the organic and mineral fractions.
The deformulation of material implies a set of diversified and sometimes very sharp techniques as for example:
OUR ASSOCIATED SERVICES
Deformulation of polymers
Deformulation of cosmetic products
Deformulation of pharmaceutical products
Counterfeit analysis
All the results of a material deformulation are then combined and interpreted according to the client’s context.
