Real-World Validation for Proven Product Performance
Laboratory results are essential — but they’re not the full picture. In the real world, products are exposed to a wide range of environmental conditions that can affect their durability, efficacy, and microbial resistance. That’s where Onnovo’s Field Testing Program comes in.
Our scientifically controlled field testing helps customers evaluate how well their preservatives and performance additives stand up to real-life stress factors — such as heat, humidity, UV exposure, microbial load, and long-term environmental wear. By combining lab analysis with field exposure, we ensure your formulations deliver the durability and protection your customers expect.
By proactively identifying, preventing, and controlling microbial threats, Onnovo’s Production Hygiene Management Program (PHMP) helps manufacturers:
- Maintain consistent product quality
- Reduce waste and reprocessing costs
- Prevent customer complaints and recalls
- Ensure regulatory compliance
- Enhance overall production efficiency
Without an effective plant hygiene program, microbial contamination can spread rapidly, impacting entire production batches and increasing operational costs due to rework, wastage, and compliance failures.
PHMP proactively prevents these risks, offering a systematic, science-backed solution to ensure your production remains contamination-free.
To ensure comprehensive results, we conduct field testing across a range of climatic and geographical regions — using a combination of Onnovo-managed and partner testing locations. These sites represent diverse environmental challenges, from high-humidity coastal areas to UV-intense high-altitude zones and polluted urban environments.
This geographic spread allows us to test products under real-world stressors that vary greatly by region, delivering performance data that’s both representative and globally relevant. That’s why our customers choose Onnovo Field Testing?
- Real-World Insight: Go beyond the lab to understand how your product performs in actual conditions.
- Improved Product Confidence: Use verified performance data to support product claims and strengthen your marketing.
- Data-Driven Optimization: Refine your formulations with clear performance benchmarks.
- Risk Reduction: Identify vulnerabilities before launch to avoid product failure or premature degradation.
Support Regulatory & Marketing Claims: Field data supports efficacy claims required by regulators and appreciated by customers.
A coatings manufacturer preparing to launch an exterior wood paint wanted to validate the long-term resistance of its new preservative system. Through Onnovo’s field testing program, samples were exposed to high-humidity and high-UV environments over 12 months. Comparative analysis showed that the new formulation offered 35% better fungal resistance and retained aesthetic quality significantly longer than the legacy version. This allowed the company to update its product marketing with confident performance claims — and eliminate the need for a redundant secondary preservative.
