New product formulation
Translate your product brief into testable formulation concepts, with performance, stability, raw-material availability and target cost in mind.
Chemical Product Development in Brisbane & Across Australia
Developing a chemical product takes more than choosing ingredients. HEKA Scientific provides independent formulation development for businesses seeking practical, commercially viable products and a path from the laboratory to production.

Reformulation and product improvement
Improve an existing product, replace unavailable ingredients or adapt a formula to new manufacturing or commercial requirements.
Laboratory testing and scale-up
Plan practical lab trials, evaluate results and help prepare a repeatable manufacturing process.
What the development process looks like
We start by defining what the product must do: the intended substrate or application, performance targets, constraints, packaging, regulatory considerations and expected production volume.
Development then proceeds through structured formulation trials and performance checks. Where relevant, we assess raw-material supply, product stability, cost-in-use and manufacturing feasibility.
Deliverables and intellectual-property ownership are agreed in the project scope. HEKA can also assist with sourcing and toll manufacturing coordination when required.
Applications and industries
Relevant areas include industrial and institutional cleaning products, home care, coatings and surface treatments, adhesives and other selected specialty chemical products. Project suitability depends on the chemistry and intended use.
HEKA is based in Brisbane, Queensland, and supports businesses throughout Australia, including startups that need access to chemistry expertise without building an internal R&D team.
Frequently asked questions
Can HEKA develop a chemical product from an initial idea?
Yes. Projects can begin with a concept or performance brief. The first step is to establish requirements, feasibility and a sensible development plan.
Can we own the resulting formulation?
Yes. HEKA offers projects where you own the developed formula outright, giving your business control over its product and the freedom to work with your preferred manufacturer. Formula ownership and any alternative licensing arrangement are clearly set out in the consulting agreement before work begins.
Do you also manufacture the product?
HEKA provides development and manufacturing support and can help coordinate external manufacturing partners. Manufacturing arrangements are scoped separately.
