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 The second step is to use the data to search for equivalents on the market (Granta Selector). ## FILAB can help you with product development support ### Why choose FILAB for product development support?
