Your needs : deformulation of competing products as part of product development or optimization

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 calls for many different chemical analysis.

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

Why distort a competing product?

The performance of a product or material being directly linked to its composition, chemical deformulation is an integral part of the control of your product and its behavior.

Moreover, the deformulation of competing products can be an interesting step in the context of optimization or development of new products. 

The deformulation of competing products will also allow you to orientate your decision making and to improve your positioning in your field of expertise.

FILAB supports you in deformulation analysis of competing products

Thanks to its experience and its state-of-the-art analytical facilities (2100m² analytical laboratory), FILAB laboratory can assist you in your most complex deformulation analysis needs, whatever the nature of your sample: aqueous solution, powder, polymer, ceramic, metallic material…

This approach to deformulation analysis of competing products allows us to meet various needs such as

our services

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

Check for compliance with a Safety Data Sheet (SDS) or data sheet of a competing product

Understand the differences in behavior between your product and a competing product

our resources

FTIR to determine the composition of an organic material

GCMS and Py-GCMS to quantify additives, residual monomers, Bisphenol A, phthalates...

DSC (Differential Scanning Calorimetry) to measure melting and degradation temperatures, crystallinity rate...

 ICP to identify mineral fillers (Talc, silica fiber,...)
