Understand the interface. Improve formulation performance.

Specialist consulting in surfactants, interfacial science and industrial formulations.

When a formulation separates, fails to wet a surface, generates unwanted foam or behaves differently during scale-up, changing an ingredient may not address the underlying cause. SURFALCHEMY helps technical teams investigate the formulation, the interfaces involved and the conditions that influence performance—so that proposed changes can be evaluated on a sound scientific and practical basis.

Discuss Your Technical Challenge

How SURFALCHEMY can support your technical team

Every formulation challenge has its own application requirements, materials and processing conditions. SURFALCHEMY offers specialist technical support across the following consulting areas.

Formulation Development & Reformulation

Support with designing, evaluating or improving formulations against defined performance, stability, processing and cost requirements.

Troubleshooting & Root-Cause Investigation

Structured investigation of unexpected separation, instability, inconsistent application performance and differences between laboratory and production behaviour.

Surfactant Selection & Compatibility

Evaluation of surface-active ingredients in the context of the complete formulation, substrate, process and application—not selection based on a single property.

Wetting, Emulsification & Dispersion

Technical support for systems where interfacial behaviour influences spreading, emulsion stability, particle dispersion or coating performance.

Foam Control & Performance Optimisation

Investigation of foam generation, persistence and collapse, alongside formulation variables affecting product or process performance.

Process & Scale-Up Support

Evaluation of how mixing, addition sequence, temperature, shear and other process conditions may affect formulation behaviour when moving beyond the laboratory.

From technical challenge to defined scope

Starting a discussion does not require a complete project brief. Share the challenge and the outcome you are seeking, and we can determine whether there is a suitable basis for working together.

01
Tell us what is happening
Share the application, observed behaviour and the performance you need. An initial enquiry does not require you to disclose your complete proprietary formulation.
02
Discuss the relevant factors
We review the information you can share and discuss whether SURFALCHEMY's expertise is relevant to the challenge.
03
Agree on the work
If there is a suitable fit, we propose the scope, deliverables, information requirements, timeline and commercial terms before starting.
