Product Deformulation
Product Deformulation or Reverse Engineering is the breaking down of a formulation into its constituent components.
It is a set of analytical procedure used to separate and determine the specific identity and quantity of each component in a formulated chemical product. The process involves extractions, separations and analytical investigations using specialised instruments and testing methods.

Product Deformulation is useful to:
- Identify hazardous, regulated or environmentally harmful ingredients
- Provide specific information of formulated products
- Improve a formulation for competitive advantage
- Resolve manufacturer problem such as degradation in product quality
- Investigate the cause of product failure
