Formulating a stable system and matching shelf-life requirements is not an easy task and requires strong knowledge of multiple interactions within dispersions. Making the right formulation requires multiple trials to screen different formulations’ targeted physical parameters while testing different raw materials.
Shelf-life depends on several physical parameters:
Destabilization phenomena such as sedimentation, creaming, and phase separation have been well studied and modeled. By using modern calculation and data learning processes, algorithms can be taught to simulate formulation evolution upon their initial physical parameters. This is exactly what Shelf-Life Simulator, our super calculator, can do. This tool can simulate formulation evolution in the function of time based on the initial physical parameters. Our algorithm has also been fed with visual observation criteria* to determine when the simulated destabilization can be visible by the naked eye and by using the TURBISCAN technology.
* Based on hundreds of experiments performed with a camera and with a Turbiscan
Feed our simulator with the formulation physical parameters, let it grind the data for a minute, and you will get:
