# Deformulation of mixture in laboratory

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

### What is a deformulation?

[Deformulation](https://filab.fr/en/our-services/our-expertise-services/laboratory-deformulation-analysis-reverse-engineering.md) 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](https://filab.fr/en/our-services/our-analysis-services/chemical-analysis-laboratory.md).

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…

This approach to deformulation analysis of a mixture can meet various needs such as:

## our services

Analyze and determine the [composition of an unknown mixture](https://filab.fr/en/our-services/our-expertise-services/laboratory-analysis-deposit-contamination/laboratory-analysis-of-unknown-matter.md)

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

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

Analyze and[identify a pollution or an impurity in a mixture](https://filab.fr/en/our-services/our-expertise-services/laboratory-analysis-deposit-contamination.md)
