Composition Analysis a High-Performance Industrial Degreaser
Objective: A client sought to develop a cost-effective, high-performance industrial degreaser solution that met all required efficacy standards and local regulatory guidelines for mass production.
1. Formula Analysis: Our team conducted a detailed analysis of market-leading products using advanced instrumentation (Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry, GC-MS, and Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy, FTIR) to establish key technical parameters and material characteristics.
2. Performance Validation: We rigorously evaluated the formula’s performance against defined industry benchmarks, testing cleaning efficiency, surface compatibility, and environmental profile.
3. Formulation Optimisation: We advised on formula architecture, successfully integrating bio-based and locally-sourced alternatives to enhance the formula’s sustainability and achieve client-specific efficacy goals. We also adjusted solvent ratios to ensure performance consistency.
4. IP Risk Consultation: We provided the client with detailed technical specifications and objective material sourcing data, empowering them to consult their own Intellectual Property counsel regarding Freedom-to-Operate before proceeding to mass production.
5. Scalability & Cost Reduction: We optimised the final formulation for large-scale production, selecting cost-effective, readily available raw materials and streamlining the manufacturing process to achieve a 20% cost reduction in raw material sourcing.
Outcome: The client successfully launched a high-performance degreaser that met all required efficacy targets, achieved full compliance with environmental and safety regulations, and was produced at scale with significantly lower material costs.
