(PCT) PRODUCT COMPATIBILITY TESTING
Our In-House Product Compatibility Testing Lab offers the following services:
- Physical/Mechanical Analysis
- Design of New Water Soluble Films
- Customized Solubility Properties
- Engineered Physical Properties
Product compatibility testing is critical to ensuring the success of your water-soluble film project since some products can reverse the solubility characteristics of the film. MonoSol offers in-house compatibility testing for a nominal charge or will support testing in your labs. To enter a product for testing at MonoSol, there are steps which must be followed for us to adhere to safety guidelines and OSHA regulations.
First, complete our Product Compatibility Test Request Form on-line and mail or fax copies of the product's MSDS to MonoSol. The information will be reviewed for acceptance in our facility.
If a product is accepted for testing, we will specify the product quantity needed, although estimates are provided on the request form. A written purchase order must accompany the product. If your product is not accepted for testing at our facility, we can discuss other options at that time.
When we receive the specified product quantity and purchase order, testing will begin. It usually takes six weeks to receive the final report, but timing can be affected by lab availability and the amount of testing involved.
Upon completion of testing, you will receive a full report giving our observations and recommendations of the films, which exhibited optimum performance with your product. You can review the report to determine which MonoSol film to use. You may choose to conduct further testing at your own facility or begin scale-up production. Finally, you may place your first order for MonoSol water-soluble film!
PRODUCT COMPATIBILITY TESTING REQUEST
MonoSol can perform Product Compatibility Testing (PCT) to determine the best water-soluble films for your formulations. In order to initiate the PCT, we first need to review the MSDS to ensure proper handling of your materials.
Send the MSDS to:
MonoSol, LLC
Dan Volk
1701 County Line Rd
Portage, IN 46368
219-762-3165
Contact via email at danv@monosol.com or fax 219-763-4477.
Please provide answers to the following questions along with the MSDS:
1. Is the product currently being packaged in PVOH film?
If yes, what film and secondary packaging is currently being used?
2. What is the estimated package size or fill weight?
3. What is the pH of the formulation?
4. What is the moisture content of the formulation?
5. What is the estimated annual volume to be packaged?
Once the MSDS has been reviewed and approved for receipt at MonoSol, you may ship your formulation to:
MonoSol, LLC
Dan Volk
1701 County Line Rd
Portage, IN 46368
219-762-3165
We will need approximately 1Kg of your formulation for a powder.
For liquids approximately 1Liter of your formulation is needed.
