Test the Product in Your Formulation Before You Make the Commercial Decision

Technical data helps identify a starting point. Your own formulation confirms whether the product is right.

MICHEM supports sample evaluation for customers comparing grades, replacing an existing raw material, developing a new formulation or solving a specific performance problem.

Tell us what you are producing and what you want to improve. If you do not know the correct grade, our technical team can recommend a suitable starting point.

  • New New Formulation You are developing a new mortar, concrete, coating or related material and need to compare additive directions.
  • Replace Product Replacement You want to evaluate a MICHEM grade against a material currently used in production.
  • Improve Performance Improvement You want to improve workability, water retention, open time, adhesion, flexibility, flow or another relevant property.

01 New

New Formulation

You are developing a new mortar, concrete, coating or related material and need to compare additive directions.

02 Replace

Product Replacement

You want to evaluate a MICHEM grade against a material currently used in production.

03 Improve

Performance Improvement

You want to improve workability, water retention, open time, adhesion, flexibility, flow, water resistance, air control, setting, early strength, crack control or another relevant property.

04 Qualify

New Supplier Evaluation

Your technical and purchasing teams want to validate product performance before commercial purchasing.

05 OEM

OEM Development

You are developing a product under your own brand and need technical approval before packaging and commercial supply are confirmed.

Request Brief

What to Tell Us

A useful sample request includes:

  1. Intended application
  2. Product family or grade, if known
  3. Current formulation or relevant material system
  4. Target performance
  5. Current problem, if applicable
  6. Current product / reference sample, if available
  7. Test method or standard you use
  8. Destination country
  9. Expected purchasing stage
  10. Any technical-document requirement

You do not need to share unnecessary proprietary information. Provide enough context for product selection and test planning.

Evaluation

How to Evaluate the Sample

  • Keep the Comparison Controlled

    Use the same raw materials, water, mixing procedure, temperature and test method where possible.

  • Record the Dosage

    Do not compare products without recording the exact dosage.

  • Evaluate the Relevant Properties Together

    A change that improves one property can influence another.

  • Use Your Own Production Conditions

    Laboratory evaluation is a starting point. Final approval should be based on the customer’s actual raw materials, equipment and operating conditions.

After Testing

After the Test

If the sample meets the target, MICHEM can help move the project toward product, packaging, documentation and commercial-supply confirmation.

If the result does not meet the target, send the test data and observations to our technical team. We can review whether the next step should involve:

  • Another grade
  • Dosage adjustment
  • Formulation adjustment
  • Compatibility review
  • Processing-condition review
  • Further comparative testing
