FORMULATION: THE BASICS

Formulation is an essential value-adding step in the development and manufacture of a huge number of chemical-using products. For example, medicines, cosmetics, toiletries, foods, detergents, cleaners, paints, inks, agrochemicals and adhesives are all formulated products. “Formulation: The Basics” is a one day introduction to formulation – what it is, where it is done, its benefits as well as why and how it is done.

“Formulation: The Basics” was sold out when it was first run in 2018 and we have received overwhelmingly positive feedback from the delegates every time the course has taken place.

WHO IS IT FOR?

“Formulation: The Basics” is especially suited to:

• Commercial, production, technical or administrative staff in any company involved in the formulation supply chain.
• Newcomers to R&D and production functions such as technicians, process operatives, QC and administrative staff.
• Students and academics from non-chemistry disciplines who are seeking an industrial context to formulation.
• Some basic scientific understanding will be helpful but is not essential. A chemistry degree is not required!
