Formulations are at the heart of many products, particularly in the area of consumer packaged goods, as well as in chemicals, coatings, and polymers. Whether creating brighter paints, tastier foods, more effective detergents, or stronger plastics, scientists face similar challenges: Pressure to reformulate in response to changes in the cost of raw ingredients, consumer trends, and regulations Frustration with how time consuming and expensive it is to create a new or improved formulation Bottlenecks retrieving or sharing expertise with others in the organization Accelrys' software for formulations enable you to: Easily access and manage scientific data scattered across your organization Access data from past experiments resulting in reduced unnecessary re-testing Reduce experiments needed for optimal formulations through predictive analytics Leverage experience of lead formulators by sharing best practices across the organization
