Need to reformulate?
As market conditions continue to put pressure on ingredient availability, you may already be facing a difficult reality: a key ingredient is no longer available - or soon may not be - and reformulation is the only way forward. Every reformulation brings new questions. Will the alternative deliver the same performance? Will it meet your quality and regulatory requirements? Will it behave the same way in processing?
That is where our application and formulation labs come in.
Make the change
When an ingredient switch is on the table, you need confidence that it will work in practice - in your specific formulation, under your specific conditions and within your regulatory framework.
Application testing.
We test alternative ingredients in formulations that mirror your real-world conditions.
Side-by-side comparison.
We benchmark the proposed alternative against your current ingredient, so you can make a switch decision based on data.
Formulation optimisation.
When an alternative does not drop in one-to-one, our formulators adjust the surrounding formulation to maintain - or improve - the end result.
In home care and industrial cleaning, performance is non-negotiable. A replacement surfactant that reduces cleaning power, a solvent substitute that changes drying time or a bio-based alternative that does not meet the same efficacy bar - none of these are acceptable trade-offs for your customers.
Our HCIC application lab is part of our recently upgraded Technology and Innovation Hub in Hertford, UK - a multi-segment facility alongside our Personal Care, Food & Nutrition and Pharma labs. This means our HCIC formulators benefit from cross-segment collaboration and shared expertise, giving you access to a wider pool of technical knowledge than a standalone lab could offer.
Whether you need to reformulate with an alternative surfactant system, substitute a solvent in an industrial cleaner, or validate a bio-based replacement across your range, we can test and optimise to ensure your cleaning performance standards are maintained.
This is what our teams deliver for customers across Europe, every day - backed by over 70 labs worldwide, 44 industry innovation awards and approximately 5,000 formulations developed each year.
Whether you are actively evaluating a substitute or want to be prepared before a switch becomes urgent, our lab teams can help you move from possible alternative to proven formulation.
