From brief.To formulation.Science-led.
“The brief that sounds impossible is usually the one worth taking seriously.”
Product development at Asiatek begins with understanding what a product needs to do: in terms of performance, user experience, application surface, regulatory market and packaging format, not with a pre-existing formula adapted to fit.
Our in-house R&D team develops new formulations from first principles against defined targets, runs iterative optimisation, conducts stability and shelf-life testing, and validates material compatibility before moving to pilot production.
What you receive at the end is not just a formula. It is a complete technical dossier: manufacturing specification, quality parameters, SDS documentation and a production-ready process that can be handed directly to our production team.
Partners get visibility at each stage: prototype samples and evaluation data before committing to full-scale manufacturing. You evaluate performance before you commit to production. That is how it should work.
7 Stages
From brief to production
Lab-Tested
Before scale-up
Process
How a brief becomes a product.
Discovery Brief
We capture your performance targets, target substrate, price positioning and any regulatory or market constraints, before any chemistry begins.
Formula Development
Our R&D team builds candidate formulations from first principles, not from a generic base formula with adjusted fragrance and colour.
Prototype Samples
You receive physical samples for hands-on evaluation against your brief, with our team's notes on expected performance trade-offs.
Feedback & Optimisation
Formulations are refined based on your evaluation, adjusting viscosity, cure time, finish or active concentration as needed.
Pilot Manufacturing
A small pilot batch validates that the lab-stage formula performs identically at production scale on our actual filling and packing equipment.
Scale-Up Validation
Stability, shelf-life and material-compatibility testing are completed at production scale before commercial sign-off.
Commercial Production
The validated formula moves into standard production, with the same batch testing and Certificate of Analysis as any other Asiatek product.
Why Asiatek R&D
First principles. Not formula adaptation.
BASF-Grade
We source active ingredients from globally recognised chemistry companies including BASF. The performance ceiling is set by the raw material before our chemists begin.
Stability First
Every formulation undergoes stability testing, shelf-life trials and material compatibility checks at prototype stage, not after scale-up. Problems are solved in the lab, not in the market.
150+ Formulations
Our existing library of production-ready formulations means we understand what works across 12 product categories, and can build new formulations from a base of real manufacturing knowledge.
Deliverables
The complete output, not just a formula.
Manufacturing Specification
The complete process document your production floor works from: no ambiguity, no re-interpretation.
SDS Documentation
Safety Data Sheets prepared to the classification and labelling requirements of your target market.
Stability Test Results
Shelf-life and stability data gathered at prototype stage, before any scale-up commitment.
Material Compatibility Data
Validated performance against your actual substrate, packaging and application surface.
Prototype Samples
Physical samples at each development stage, with our team's evaluation notes attached.
Pilot Batch Records
Full documentation from the pilot run that confirms production-scale performance.
Scale-Up Validation Report
Evidence that the formula holds at commercial volume, not just at lab scale.
Certificate of Analysis
Issued on commercial batches, the same standard applied to every Asiatek production run.
Development timelines vary by formulation complexity.
Share your brief and we’ll give you a realistic stage-by-stage timeline before you commit. Most standard automotive care formulations complete Stage 1–3 within 4–6 weeks.
