About this Event
WHY ATTEND
This course provides a practical introduction to surfactants and formulation, delivered by an experienced formulator with over 40 years in the industry. It also offers the opportunity to network with delegates from raw material suppliers and formulation companies, and to discuss current technical issues.
COURSE OUTLINE

The course will cover:
- A review of surfactant types, their benefits, and common challenges
- An introduction to surface/interfaces and how these interact with surfactants
- Discussion of foams, emulsions & detergency
- The New Product Development Pathway - this takes a holistic whole company approach to identify where product development fits into the process and the importance of having a well written project brief.
- Consideration of regulations, including why CLP must be considered during product development
- Worked examples
WHO WILL BENEFIT
