Formulaction is specialised in design and marketing of scientific instruments |
 |
Gérard Meunier created the company Formulaction in 1994, with the Turbiscan MA1000 and the idea to offer a new instrument for stability analysis of dispersed media. The success story of the Turbiscan© range
is now forming the base of the company, with more than 700 units sold around the world after 10 years.
Formulaction has grown on an efficient combination between marketing
and optics developments. The company is spending a great deal of time on market surveys, satisfaction surveys and various partnerships
(with institutes and private companies) to be able to answer people needs. Moreover, one of the major force of the company is its powerful distribution network, with more than 25 distributors spread around the world, and the strong relationship existing with Formulaction. |
| |
Formulaction is always working on new ideas of developments and invests a lot in R&D to satisfy the needs in innovative instruments. The wide range of Turbiscan© available proves the constant search to help customers in their day to day work.
Today, Formulaction is increasing its business with a new range of instruments, Horus©, dedicated to analysis of film formation (drying and curing). |

| The Turbiscan© range is the reference products of the company and remains the world leader for analysis of physical stability of dispersed systems. All instruments of the range are based on the Multiple Light Scattering (MLS) technology, which allows monitoring of concentrated dispersions, without any dilution. Coupled with a vertical scanning of the sample, stability phenomena can be identified and quantified, objectively and quickly (5 to 50 times earlier than the naked eye).. |
|
The applications of the Turbiscan© are wide and concern all type of dispersions (emulsion, suspension, foam). |
|
| The Turbiscan© range consists of 5 instruments : |
 |
Turbiscan Classic or Turbiscan MA2000, which has replaced the Turbiscan MA1000
in 1998. It is dedicated to short time stability analysis and screening tests. |
 |
Turbiscan Heavy Fuel , is an adapted version of the Turbiscan MA2000, dedicated to analysis of heavy fuel oil, with an automatic software following the ASTM method D7061. |
 |
Turbiscan LAb , is the second generation of Turbiscan© , including thermoregulation and computation of physical parameters. This instrument is the ideal tool for long term stability analysis. |
 |
Turbiscan ags , consists of a Turbiscan LAb unit set within a fully automated ageing station (three thermoregulated blocks and a robot to handle the vials) for analysis of a large number of samples with no extra work. |
 |
Turbiscan OnLine , uses the same MLS principle in a fixed point to monitor process in real time (emulsification, dispersion). |

This year, Formulaction innovates once more and launches HORUS, a brand new instrument dedicated to film formation analysis. From the kinetics of drying or curing, displayed in real time, a wide range of information can be extracted such as objective drying times or mechanisms taking place (coalescence, evaporation…).
This new and non invasive technology named A.S.I.I. is based on Diffusing Wave Spectroscopy (DWS). It allows monitoring of the “media movement speed” from all kinds of dispersed systems.
|
|
Any film forming product may be investigated (water-based, solvent and solvent-free paints, inks, varnishes, adhesives…) on various types of substrate. www.horus-drying.com to find more details on HORUS, a unique tool to analyze film formation from complex colloidal systems. |
