Product Deformulation
Product deformulation
involves the complete chemical analysis of solutions, powders, and materials
to determine the identity and quantity of their constituent parts. Expert
Chemical Analysis has the skills, experience, and equipment to provide complete
deformulation of consumer products, industrial products, materials, polymers,
and unknown substances. ECA has the following instrumentation capabilities
to help us separate, identify, and quantify unknown formulations: SEM/EDXS,
FTIR, GC-MS, GC-FID, ICP-AES Elemental Scan, and HPLC. In some cases, we will
apply other testing procedures as required to solve complex deformulation
problems.
ECA has experience deformulating lubricants, detergents, solvent mixtures,
surfactant-based products, paints and coatings, cleaning solutions, car care
products, pool and spa treatments, cosmetics (including creams, shampoos,
sun-screens), herbal supplements, vitamin supplements, soft drinks, polymers,
water treatment chemicals, and many other product types. These services are
performed for patent law firms, entrepreneurs, insurance firms, manufacturing
firms, R & D firms, environmental consultants, and curious individuals.
In many cases a deformulation is required to determine the presence of batch
to batch irregularities that are causing catastrophic problems for manufacturing
firms. Some formulations are very difficult or next to impossible to deformulate
whereas others are relatively simple. The number and type of ingredients in
the formulation will dictate the ease or difficulty of de-formulation. We
offer our clients a confidentiality agreement and quotation before work can
commence.
