Behind the scenes, formulators create the chemical products we use every day — from coatings to cosmetics — delivering biological, chemical, and sensorial properties through artful blending.

For structural or material properties, we look to materials scientists. The fruits of their labour can also be seen all around us - from smarter packaging to more durable roads and the next generations of polymers, alloys and composites.

Yet there are many applications that blur the lines between these disciplines, drawing upon the expertise of both to deliver value.

FSTG presents the inaugural Formulating Materials conference, a new event designed to bridge the gaps between the formulation and materials communities and to help identify opportunities for collaboration, learning, and networking.

Together, we will explore a wide range of applications and technologies that benefit from both disciplines, whether to deliver chemical or material properties, or perhaps, a mixture of the two.
