The approach taken by FILAB to carry out the service

When the product or material already exists :
Reverse of the material currently used

The first stage consists of the deformulation of the material currently used by the customer in its manufacturing process by means of physico-chemical analysis.

Search for an equivalent on the market

The second stage consists of a search for equivalents on the market based on data recovered during deformulation, biobliographic studies or via a database (Granta selector).

Analytical comparison between the candidate material and the reference material

The analytical comparison between the candidate material and the reference material is carried out using physico-chemical analysis.

When the product or material does not exist and must be developed:
Scientific translation of customer specifications

In the absence of an existing product or material, the first step is to transcribe the customer's specifications. For example: the material must not stick or run...

Search for equivalents on the market
