Unlock What Makes Detergents Work — Then Make It Better
We specialize in analyzing detergent products across industries—identifying every functional ingredient, quantifying key components, and helping you validate performance targets, optimize, or refine formulations with confidence. From technical performance validation to custom blend design, we reveal what’s inside—and how to improve it. Whether you’re developing a new product, troubleshooting performance issues, or looking to achieve a superior performance standard —we’re here to help.
- Advanced Compositional Assessment: Analyze detergent formulations to identify all active, functional, and auxiliary ingredients — qualitatively and quantitatively.
- Formula Optimisation & Localisation: Modify existing formulas to enhance performance, reduce cost, or adapt to new regulatory and market needs.
- Formulation Freedom & Compliance: We help you redesign formulations to maximize independent innovation and ensure robust product integrity.
What We Can Analyse
We identify and quantify all key components in detergent products—including surfactants, builders, enzymes, solvents, preservatives, and more. Our advanced analysis , covering both functional ingredients and trace additives, while also assessing performance indicators such as pH, viscosity, foam behavior, and product stability.
- Surfactant type and ratio (anionic/nonionic/amphoteric)
- Builder system (phosphates, zeolites, silicates, etc.)
- Enzymes, brighteners, fragrances, preservatives
- Solvent systems, stabilisers, foam control agents
- pH, viscosity, stability, degradation profiles
- Contaminant or residue analysis
- Microbial activity (for biodegradable or green detergents)
Advanced Analytical & Compositional Insight
We go beyond basic testing — we deliver advanced compositional assessment of detergent products to uncover their key chemical structure . Using advanced analytical tools, we identify both major and minor ingredients, determine functional group roles, and interpret how the formula performs. Whether you aim to validate performance targets, reduce cost, remove restricted substances, or adapt for local supply chains, our analysis delivers insights and practical reformulation strategies, and we flag potential IP concerns for professional legal review.
