Chemistry is not just formulas in a textbook. It's a living process that allows room for both precise calculations and creativity. And if something seems impossible — perhaps you've simply not yet found the right catalyst.
From Theory to Practice
A leading chemist-technologist’s workday is divided between the office and the production facility. In the office, they develop formulations, analyze market trends, hold negotiations with clients and suppliers, and prepare all technical documentation for the company’s products. However, 80% of their working time is spent on the production floor. Their primary responsibilities include monitoring the quality of incoming raw materials and finished products, conducting laboratory research, and scaling up processes from the flask to industrial-scale reactors.
This high-level specialist role combines the precision of science with the freedom of creativity. On one hand, there are strict formulas, GOST standards, and technological regulations. On the other hand, there is room for experimentation, developing new formulations, and discovering innovative, non-obvious solutions.
Challenges Are Interesting
For Denis Fedorovich, the most difficult aspect of his work isn't the chemical processes themselves, but maintaining the balance between product quality and the final cost of a new chemical formulation. Every client wants an ideal product at the lowest possible price. In such cases, the chemist’s main task is to select the optimal raw materials and technology to meet all requirements. Sometimes, it becomes necessary to abandon a project if it proves economically unviable for both the client and the company. That’s perfectly normal—chemistry is an exact science, and miracles don’t happen.

How New Products Are Born
- Client Request – The starting point is a customer inquiry. It is crucial to understand exactly what is needed: desired properties, intended application, and the target budget.
- Theoretical Development – Researching existing analogs, selecting suitable components, and calculating the initial formulation.
- Laboratory Testing – Experimenting with hypotheses and refining the composition based on test results.
- Scale-Up – Transferring the developed process from the laboratory to industrial-scale production.
- Quality Control – Verifying that the final formulation meets the specified performance criteria.
- Production Launch – Finalizing documentation and shipping the finished product to the customer.
My work is a constant search for balance between science, production, and commerce. Every day I face non-standard challenges that require not only a deep understanding of chemical laws, but also the ability to find creative solutions within the boundaries of those laws.
