The problem: compliance checked after the formula is done

When regulatory checks happen after formulation, failures send work back to the start. Checking as you formulate catches problems early.

Formulators usually find out about a restricted substance from a regulatory review at the end of development. By then the formula has been tested and scaled, and swapping an ingredient means repeating much of that work.

What this demo shows

  1. See regulation checks next to every ingredient.
  2. See exactly why something fails.
  3. Apply your company's own tighter limits across every product.

Why it matters

Find the market restriction before it becomes a reformulation project. Checking each ingredient against REACH, Prop 65 and other rules as the recipe is built keeps compliance part of the formulation decision.

A result that names the rule, its condition and the level against the limit tells the formulator exactly what to change.

Uncountable is where coatings teams build their formulas. Each recipe gets one column for each market you sell into. A supplier change brought in a second source anti-skinning agent and the EU check fails. The result names the rule and its condition and shows the level at three times the limit. Open the rule behind it.

Every result traces back to the official rule, its limit, and its source. Bring the level under the limit and the result turns to pass. California has its own answer. The neutralizer needs a Proposition 65 warning. Your company can add stricter limits like 1% for a retail customer approved by a reviewer. In the recipe, butyl diglycol now fails your limit.

Bring it under 1% and it passes. Table builder puts all your spray enamels in one table so you see which fail and which pass. From one formula to the whole portfolio checked in one platform.

FAQs

Can Uncountable check formulas against REACH and Prop 65?

Yes. Each recipe gets a column for each market you sell into, and every ingredient is checked as you formulate.

Does a failing check explain why?

Yes. The result names the rule and its condition, shows the level against the limit and opens to the official rule and its source.

Can I apply our own stricter limits?

Yes. Company limits, such as a retail customer's, can be added and approved by a reviewer, and Table Builder shows which formulas pass across the portfolio.
