From R&D of new formulations through pilot plant commissioning, ASTM testing, BIS / API compliance and troubleshooting failed batches — we cover the full lifecycle of a lubricant business.
Each service is delivered by a senior formulator — never handed off to a junior account manager. Engagements scope-priced or via the Annual R&D Partnership.
Every engagement — single project or under the Annual R&D Partnership — follows the same disciplined four-step delivery so you always know exactly what's next.
NDA in place, current formulation reviewed, target specification locked, cost targets agreed. Typically 1 working day.
Lab formulation, bench trial, ASTM/IP testing against target spec, iteration as needed. 2–4 weeks typical.
Process scaling at your plant or our partner facility. Process SOP captured. Full BIS / API documentation prepared.
Full BOM, MSDS, TDS, COA template and IP transfer. Optional ongoing support through Annual R&D Partnership.
For manufacturers with continuous R&D needs across multiple product types. One annual retainer covers unlimited formulation requests, continuous ASTM testing, ongoing process optimisation and all compliance support — no per-project billing.
One business day response. No cost for initial assessment. NDA on request before any technical discussion. Direct senior-formulator access.
