FORMULATORÒ Program Presented at Cosmetic Chemists Suppliers Day

Formulator Software Launches Powerful Software Tools for Cosmetic Chemists

Secaucus, New Jersey (May 2003) -- Color-Tec Associates, Inc, announced the presentation at the Society of Cosmetic Chemists Suppliers’ Day a new set of powerful Windows software tools for the Formulation Chemist called FORMULATOR™. This dynamic package provides all of the latest graphics tools and calculation power of the Windows environment to aid the Cosmetic Chemist’s rapid development of new formulations as well as modification and improvement of old formulations.

Freed from transaction limitations of most other packages, FORMULATOR™ allows complete cut and paste tools from multiple formulas at multiple levels with full calculation of performance properties, cost calculations and variable weights and measure as the formula is created.

Tested by experienced Formulation Chemists from the Paint, Specialty Chemicals, Cosmetics, Food and Ink Industries, the consensus is that "this is the package they always dreamed of," stated Jim DeGroff, Color-Tec’s president. In addition to developing new formulas, FORMULATOR™ also allows the Chemist to define Quality Control Tests, output test batch tickets and archive test results as the development of the formulation progresses.

A new web site www.formulatorus.com has been set up to show many of the features of FORMULATOR™. The software program will be available on CD to be tested live at no charge by qualified Cosmetic Chemists. Literature and a free live CD are available from the company with realistic cosmetic test formulas. Scheduled for release shortly is a companion program, REGULATOR™ to output MSDS for formulas developed with FORMULATOR™.
