Formulations
Formulation chemistry is the mixing of compounds/substances that do not react with each other but produce a mixture with the desired characteristics/properties to suit a particular application/use.
A formulation is a mixture that has been designed as a useful product.
Many products are complex mixtures in which each chemical has a particular purpose.
Formulations are made by mixing the components in carefully measured quantities to ensure that the product has the required properties.
Examples: Fuels, cleaning agents, paints, medicines, alloys, fertilisers and foods.
