Reverse Engineering in Laboratory

You want to determine the composition of a product by the reverse engineering method.

Reverse engineering, also called deformation or reverse engineering, is a method to determine the chemical composition of a complex mixture using various chemical analysis.

In addition to providing a better understanding of a material, reverse engineering allows for a better understanding of structural issues but also its defective quality. Thus, the objective of reverse engineering can, among other things, be to improve the performance of a material and/or to better target a new supplier.

This application concerns different types of products, formulas and materials: paints, metals, alloys, varnishes, plastics, cosmetics, aqueous formulations, composites…

The method of successful reverse engineering lies in a good knowledge of the targeted application and the implementation of rigorous analytical methods to characterize the composition of organic and mineral fractions. 

FILAB supports you in your reverse engineering efforts

Reverse engineering can be used to meet various needs such as:

Our services

  • Analyze and determine the composition of an unknown mixture

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

Par ailleurs, l’ingénierie inverse implique un ensemble de techniques diversifiées, parfois très pointues notamment:
