ATS delivers a complete range of Product Development Consulting Services. Our R&D expertise, which includes new and reformulated products, spans the entire process: formula development, propellant selection, packaging design (valve system development, and can selection), and spray pattern & particle size optimization. In addition, ATS can develop and implement product performance testing procedures and aerosol stability testing protocols.

Product Development Services

Formula Development - We will work independently, or closely with your technical personnel, to develop and refine aerosol formulas. VOC considerations will be addressed during the initial formula design.

Propellant Selection - A variety of propellant options are available for consideration, including: conventional hydrocarbons, non-liquefied compressed gasses (CO2, N2, N2O), as well as the latest “alternative” propellants such as 134A and 152A.

Valve System - Aerosol spray performance is primarily controlled by valve system selection. A wide range of valve systems are available to optimize the desired spray rate, spray pattern geometry, and particle size (refer to the “Particle Size Control” article below for an in-depth review of how particle size is controlled in aerosol systems).
