    Hi all.

    I am just wandering if the formulas published on web sites like basf , lubrizol, pilotechemical s are correct formulas with a right percentages?

    Thank you

    Yes. Typically they are.  However, the formulas you’ll find are starting formulas and shouldn’t be considered finished formulas. You’ll need to optimize them and maybe even change out different ingredients depending on what you have access to.  The suppliers make these formulas freely available so that they maximize the use of their own compounds.

    Nabil, there are thousands of supplier formulas on the web.  I’m sure some chemists have tried some of these formulas.  But as Perry said they are there as starting formulas for guidance as to how to use the supplier’s ingredients. Some supplier formulas work better than others and I have known some to not work at all. Some suppliers state if their formula has passed stability test but you should conduct your own testing and research etc.
