Formulations
Rheology — the study of flow and deformation of materials under applied stress — determines whether a paint performs correctly from manufacturing through to the final dried film. In waterborne paints, three performance demands compete simultaneously: sufficient viscosity at rest to prevent pigment settling, adequate thinning during application to allow uniform coverage, and fast enough … <a href="https://www.safic-alcan.com/en-fr/industry-articles/rheology-modifiers-waterborne-systems/">Continued</a>

The root cause of tablet defects rarely lies where you first notice them. From friability issues to poor coating adhesion, problems in the final product almost always trace back to excipient selection. Most often, the binder is at cause. In both wet granulation and direct compression workflows, binder characteristics significantly influence multiple tablet properties. Those attributes are highly interdependent with other excipients and with … <a href="https://www.safic-alcan.com/en-fr/industry-articles/excipients-to-tablet/">Continued</a>

Colour cosmetics live or die by sensory experience. A foundation can deliver flawless coverage on paper and still fail commercially if it drags on application, feels heavy two hours after wear, or leaves an unpleasant greasy film. This is why sensory modifiers have become one of the most technically demanding ingredient categories in personal care … <a href="https://www.safic-alcan.com/en-fr/industry-articles/sensory-modifiers/">Continued</a>
