I worked in the process team on the ‘developer’ for a new hair dye. My role was to gain a comprehensive understanding of the key transformations that occurred in the developer making process which would alter the product quality. I setup a series of experiments to determine how the key transformations affected the production process. Based on the data collected from my experiments, I determined the optimal process conditions for the production method. This allowed successful scale up of the… Show more I worked in the process team on the ‘developer’ for a new hair dye. My role was to gain a comprehensive understanding of the key transformations that occurred in the developer making process which would alter the product quality. I setup a series of experiments to determine how the key transformations affected the production process. Based on the data collected from my experiments, I determined the optimal process conditions for the production method. This allowed successful scale up of the developer from the lab to the pilot plant. I produced technical documents, a Transformation Flow Sheet, to explain which transformations occurred to the product at every step, and to ensure that my work could be carried on in the future.
