increasing challenges

Paint manufacturers today more than ever need to innovate to ensure their growth and strenghten their position in the market. The diverse challenges force them to put innovation at the heart of their corporate strategy, as the key to competitiveness.
higher
production costs
These include rising raw material costs, increasing energy costs, and labor costs. These factors are putting a strain on paint manufacturers' margins and forcing them to find ways to reduce costs or pass on the costs to customers.
increasing
market competition
Competition is putting pressure on existing players to differentiate themselves and find ways to stand out from the crowd. Paint manufacturers are responding to increased competition by focusing on innovation, cost reduction, and operational efficiency. They are also looking for ways to expand into new markets.
rapid
market development
The paint market is changing rapidly, as new technologies and trends emerge. This is creating new opportunities for paint manufacturers, but it is also making it more difficult to keep up with the pace of change.

Paint Formulation Consultant

From Idea to Market

Paint Formulation Consulting

In every project, I analyse the big picture and take into account important aspects such as product requirements, development, formulation and market entry. Because only when all of these elements work together harmoniously can a successful product be created.
Requirements Analysis
The goal of requirements analysis is to clearly define the functional and non-functional requirements of the product, ensuring that it meets the needs of the target audience and aligns with the overall business objectives.
Formulation
The formulation stage involves the development of the paint's chemical composition, taking into account the requirements identified during the analysis phase. We will carefully select and combine various ingredients, such as pigments, resins, and solvents, to achieve the desired properties, including color, durability, application characteristics, and environmental performance.
Market Entry
The market entry strategy should be tailored to the specific industry, competitive landscape, and target audience. Effective marketing and sales strategies are essential to create awareness, generate interest, and drive demand for the product.

Client Case Studies

Client Project (confidential)
Customer Inquiry: The polyurethane paint for tanks and structures had a colour change and poor resistance in the marine environment.

Our intervention: After studying the existing formula, we carried out multi-level tests that allowed us to optimize the ratios of the different ingredients and introduce new materials. After laboratory and industrial tests, the customer was able to quadruple the production of this product with 100% satisfaction.
Client Project (confidential)
Customer Inquiry: The oven-drying paint had a low yield and a storage stability problem, resulting in a large loss of product and endless complaints.

Our intervention: After studying the existing formula, we optimized the production process. We have introduced a new generation of additives, thanks to which we have achieved excellent results. After laboratory tests and industrial trials, the customer was able to have a competitive advantage over its competitors, produced with 100% satisfaction.
Client Project(confidential)
Customer Inquiry: Introduce a new anti-corrosion epoxy system for steel structures.

Our intervention: We have previously studied the specifications of the clients and we have established the product characteristics to be formulated. After that, we brought in all the necessary raw materials and started the testing and optimization. After the mechanical tests and the salt pray aging tests, we validated the formula and started production formula and start industrial production. With this anti-corrosion paint system, the customer has seen the opening of a new market with better profitability.
