Formula 5.2 is here

We just released Formula 5.2.

This new version bring a redesign of the interface and color code.

We are are also introducing 2 important features:

  • Chemical tracking: With this tool it is now possible to first create chemical substances and then add quantities for each Raw Material. Quantities can be weight percent or ppm. Calculation of the chemical content can then be made in a Formulation in both units. We have also added the possibility to create preset lists of chemicals in order to specify limits. It opens the possibility to have lists of chemicals with limits for a specific geographic zone or regulation. Finally a tool allows to search for chemical traces in both Raw Materials and Formulations.
  • Ingredient Groups: This new feature provide the possibility to assign ingredients into 1 of the 3 groups available. A new table shows the formulation composition in terms of group content. You can then change the weight or volume of a group in this new table and Formula will recalculate the weight of each ingredient. You can name the groups and see the groups composition by  hovering the mouse on the group. This group system should open new possibilities to formulate with 2K systems but also to keep certain ingredients at the same quantity ratio.

Formula 5.1

We just released a major update for Formula, Version 5.1. It brings many new features, functionalities and improvements. Such as:

  • A new Raw Material Inspector that allows to get a quick overview of a Raw Material properties when hovering the cursor on a Formulation's ingredient.
  • Bar charts for volume and weight percentages of pigments, fillers... have been added in parallel with pie charts in the Formulation Module
  • New Excel export options have been added for Formulations: Essential Print Sheet, a A4 landscape format with main Formulation's information and a Physico-Chemical Properties' sheet.
  • Keyboard shortcuts and controls.
  • We also reworked the access structure with the server to make it more responsive.

Formula 5

After more than 15 years of good service Formula just has just been entirely rebuild with last Microsoft technologies. This new version offers a more evolutive platforme for the future and open new possibilities in terms of development. We will be happy to provide a trial version so don't hesitate to contact us.
