New products examples

A study of the metabolic fate of a drug is required for all new drug products. Often it is found that the metabolites arc also active. Indeed, sometimes the metabolite is the pharmacologically active molecule. The.sc drug metabolites cun provide leads for additional investigations of potentially new products. Examples of an inactive parent drug that is converted to an active metabolite include the nonsteroidal anti-... 

When a durable product is retired from service it may be possible to restore it, or at least certain parts, to an "as-new" condition through remanufacturing. After full disassembly of the product, usable parts are cleaned, refurbished and put into inventory. Then, a new product can be assembled using both new and old parts. The performance of this product can be similar to that of a new product. Examples of parts frequently remanufactured are car starter assemblies and manufacturing equipment such as machining tools [35],... 

New product The substitute could be a new product Examples are new polymers based on succinic acid as building block instead of fossil-derived dicar-boxyhc acids. Advantages are new market opportunities and no direct competition from petrochemical routes. Drawbacks Ue in the not-yet-defined market and the requirements of substantial amounts of capital and time to develop it. 

Sometimes chemists need to change the structure of an arene in order to make a new product. Examples include the manufacture of detergents or the reactants needed to make plastics, such as poly(phenylethene) - commonly known as polystyrene. They can use a Friedel-Crafts reaction to substitute a hydrogen in the benzene ring for an alkyl group, such as a methyl (—CH3) or an ethyl (—CjHj) group ... 

It is axiomatic that sales analysis depends on detailed records of sales of a specific chemical to a specific company. Paramount to the success of such studies is the existence of data recorded on a systematic and continuous basis. It follows that these studies are done best by an ia-house staff on products already produced by the company. However, on occasion, a product new to the company can be studied by the ia-house group with the assistance of their field sales force. For example, a producer of polypropylene could use its people to secure data on the consumption of other thermoplastics by their customers. Such an exercise might identify opportunities for a new producer, but a more detailed marketing research study would probably be done before entry iato the new product area was made. 

Correlation with markets for other products is particularly useful for a new product. For example, market growth history of an older product, eg, nylon, can be plotted on a graph to predict the probable growth for a newer product, eg, polyester fibers. Data for both products may be plotted on the same chart, though not necessarily to the same scale and with the time scale shifted to bring the respective curves in parallel. 

In several important cases, new synthetic strategies have been developed into new production schemes. An outstanding example of this is the production of an entire family of terpene derivatives from a-pinene (29), the major component of most turpentines, via linalool (3) (12). Many of these materials had been produced from P-pinene, a lesser component of turpentine, via pyrolysis to myrcene and further chemical processing. The newer method offers greater manufacturing dexibiUty and better economics, and is environmentally friendly in that catalytic air oxidation is used to introduce functionality. 

New product introductions are generally heavily supported by the technical service function. Many customers using chemical feedstocks to produce multicomponent products for the consumer market require extensive on-line evaluations of new raw materials prior to their acceptance for use. An example of this would be the use of a new engineering polymer for the fabrication of exterior automobile stmctural panels. Full-scale fabrication of the part foUowed by a detailed study of parameters, such as impact strength, colorant behavior, paint receptivity, exterior photodurabiHty, mar resistance, and others, would be required prior to making a raw materials change of this nature. 

Nature When individuals or items are obseiwed and classified accordingto two different criteria, the resultant counts can be statistically ana ed. For example, a market suiwey may examine whether a new product is preferred and if it is preferred due to a particular characteristic. 

Example 6 Calculation of Probability of Meeting a Sales Demand A store that is open 5 days a week is to promote a new product. The manager heheves that not more than 5 units will he sold in any one day, hut he cannot he more precise about the probable sales pattern. Stocks are dehvered once per week. What size should the first order he to give a 95 percent certainty of meeting demand ... 

In the development of new products, optimization of the fermentation medium for titer only often ignores the consequences of the medium properties on subsequent downstream processing steps such as filtration and chromatography. It is imperative, therefore, that there be effective communication and understanding between workers on the upstream and downstream phases of the produc t development if rational trade-offs are to be made to ensure overall optimahty of the process. One example is to make the conscious decision, in collaboration with those responsible for the downstream operations, whether to produce a protein in an unfolded form or in its native folded form the purification of the aggregated unfolded proteins is simpler than that of the native protein, but the refolding process itself to obtain the product in its final form may lack scalabihty. 

Another approach has been adopted by the Du Pont Company with Adiprene C. This is a urethane-type polymer with unsaturated groups in the polymer. Because of the unsaturation the polymer may be vulcanised with sulphur, the standard vulcanising agent of the rubber industry. This is a clear-cut example of a product being modified to suit the processor rather than that of a processor adapting himself to meet new products. Whereas Adiprene C has poor tensile strength when unfilled, the use of carbon black leads to appreciable reinforcement (as is the case with SBR and to some extent natural rubber. 

I Substitution reactions occur when two reactants exchange parts to give two new products. An example is the reaction of an alkane with Cl2 in the presence of ultraviolet light to yield an alkyl chloride. A Cl atom from Cl2 substitutes for an H atom of the alkane, and two new products result. 

Substitution reaction (Section 5.1) What occurs when two reactants exchange parts to give two new products. S 1 and Sjsj2 reactions are examples.
