Chemir's Definitive Deformulation Unlocks Product Information
Share:
October 2009, St. Louis, MO - Chemir Analytical Services introduces Definitive Deformulation, a service that helps companies develop new products and solve difficult problems. Unlike other laboratories, Chemir's unique Definitive Deformulation process discovers the raw materials used in a formula, with absolute concentrations of each ingredient. The information gained may be used to improve a formula, understand a competitor's product or resolve manufacturing problems.
A typical deformulation laboratory will characterize major formula components using simple screening techniques. With Definitive Deformulation, Chemir's scientists can identify and quantify the ingredients in a product. Quantitative methods are then validated by evaluating accuracy, precision, and instrument linearity to ensure quality results. Chemir's final deformulation lab report includes tables of ingredients and their relative concentrations, original data, and pertinent conclusions and recommendations.
"Chemir is a leader in providing deformulation services," explains Eric Uffman, Ph.D., Vice President, Technology of Chemir Analytical Services. "Definitive Deformulation is a continuation of over 50 years experience in identifying and quantitating product's components. We're proud to offer this unique service to companies seeking information about their own or their competitor's formulations." Definitive Deformulation projects may involve home, health and beauty products; industrial and consumer cleaners, plastics, composites, rubber products, coatings, adhesives, sealants, and more. Chemir's scientists have special expertise in polymer deformulation, including medical devices and medical plastics.
