REVERSE ENGINEERING – Armour Blending

Reverse engineering and product optimization

Start from what you like. Build what you really want.

You might already have a product in your hands that is close to perfect. Our reverse engineering service lets you use that as a baseline, then create a new formula that is tuned for your brand, your budget, and your customers.

Using a product you already trust

Reverse engineering is useful when you can point to something and say “this is in the ballpark.” Maybe you like the cleaning power but wish it rinsed cleaner, or you love the foam but want something more concentrated. By starting with a known product we can benchmark how it behaves, what it does well, and where it falls short for you.

From that baseline we design a new formula that captures the strengths of the original while addressing its weaknesses. The goal is to end up with something that feels familiar in use but clearly belongs to your brand

Cleaning Efficiency

Cleaning power at a given dilution

Concentration & Cost

Concentration and cost per use

Scent & User Experience

Scent, color, and overall user experience

Compatibility

Compatibility with coatings and the rest of your line

Stability & Packaging

Stability, viscosity, and packaging behavior

Foam & Rinse Performance

Foam profile, lubrication, and rinseability

What we can tune

Performance, cost, and user experience

Once we have tested and studied your reference product, we can tune the new formula around the levers that matter to you. For example, we can adjust:

From guessing to understanding

A big advantage of doing reverse engineering through Armour Blending is the clarity it gives you. Instead of guessing what might be in that bottle you like, you can work with us to understand the general architecture of the product and the thinking behind the new formula we create. If you choose a structure where you own the formula, you gain long term stability. You are no longer locked to a mystery supplier or a mystery blend that could change without notice. You have a product that is built for you, with a documented formula and a manufacturing partner that knows how to produce it the same way every time.

Improvement, not cloning

We respect the work that goes into good products. Our goal is not to make cheap knockoffs or to copy another brand’s intellectual property line by line. Reverse engineering is used as a tool to understand performance and direction, and then we move into designing a product that stands on its own. Your finished formula is specific to you and your brand.

Have a product you want to improve

If there is a soap, cleaner, dressing, or other chemical you keep coming back to with the thought “I wish it did this one thing better,” that is a perfect starting point. Tell us what you are using, what you like, and what you would change, and we will outline how a project with us would look.
