When standard paint formulas are not enough — for a unique product, proprietary formulation, specialty coating or new market positioning — IPCS provides custom paint formula development from scratch. Every custom formula is validated in production conditions and delivered with complete SOP, raw material specification and QC parameters.
Natural & Eco Paint
Custom formulas for natural mineral paint, clay paint, lime paint and Vedic herbal paint with specific VOC and sustainability claims.
Specialty Coatings
Anti-bacterial, anti-fungal, thermal insulating, stain-resistant — custom formulations for functional property claims.
Texture & Finish
Custom texture paint, sand finish, smooth matte, silk sheen — specific application texture and gloss level.
Industrial Coatings
Epoxy, polyurethane, alkyd, anti-corrosive — custom industrial coating for specific substrate or performance requirement.
Waterproofing
Crystalline, acrylic, elastomeric — custom formulas for specific substrate type and water exposure.
Private Label
Custom formula for private label paint brand — performance, price point and target market. Fully confidential.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is included in a custom paint formula?
Complete batch sheet with raw material weights, addition sequence, mixing speed and time; raw material specification with approved substitutes; QC parameter targets; troubleshooting guide; vendor direction for all raw materials.
How long does custom formula development take?
Standard custom formulas: 2–4 weeks. Specialty coatings with specific functional properties: 4–12 weeks. Novel eco-paint formulations: 6–16 weeks. Timeline agreed upfront.
Can IPCS develop an anti-bacterial paint formula?
Yes — using IPBC (Iodopropynyl Butylcarbamate) for dry-film protection, or nano-silver and zinc oxide for enhanced anti-microbial efficacy. Formula calibrated for your target claim and price point.
Can I get exclusivity on a custom formula?
For custom-developed formulas with significant IP development, exclusivity terms can be discussed for a defined territory and time period.
What is the difference between custom and standard formula?
Standard formula is an existing, validated recipe for a common category shared by IPCS with multiple clients. Custom formula is developed specifically for your unique product requirement — specific properties, proprietary ingredients or novel functionality.
Can IPCS formulate paint for export markets?
Yes — IPCS has experience with European VOC regulations, ASTM standards, BS specifications and Middle Eastern market requirements alongside Indian IS standards.
How do I protect my custom paint formula?
Keep raw material grades confidential within your organization, train SOP to operators as procedure not formula, source specialty raw materials from a single trusted vendor. IPCS does not share custom client formulas with other clients.
Can IPCS develop a waterproofing coating formula?
Yes — crystalline waterproofing, acrylic waterproofing membrane, elastomeric and bituminous waterproofing for different substrate types (RCC roof, brick wall, basement, podium).
Can IPCS help reformulate our existing paint to reduce cost?
Yes — IPCS analyzes your current formula, identifies over-dosing and lower-cost substitutes without compromising performance, validates in a trial batch. Target: 15–30% raw material cost reduction.
Does custom formula development require IPCS lab testing?
For most formulas, IPCS develops and validates at the client's factory using the client's machines and raw materials — ensuring the formula works in actual production, not just a lab.
