Solutions to develop dirt-free surfaces

The problem

Our client wanted to identify ways of keeping their bathroom product clean and in perfect condition for daily use.

Following an open discussion session, a brief was created to identify existing and potential ways of producing dirt-free surfaces.

Where we found the answer

A scoping study of relevant databases and sources of information was conducted that included:
• UK and international patents
• appropriate academic expertise
• completed, current and planned research.

What we presented

A bespoke review covering:
• a list of commercially available solutions
• an overview of potential solutions
• expert research groups that would be able to help develop a bespoke solution.

How it helped

The insight and knowledge acquired was used to inform our client’s 5 year strategic NPD plan.

The study was scoped and delivered quickly: within 3 weeks and inexpensively exceeding our client’s expectations
