James Farr's Problem Solving Experience:

1. - Developed a means to stabilize hydrogen peroxide that allowed it to be extremely shelf stable even under conditions of extreme heat or metal contamination.
2. - Identified a future competitive product entry (eventually introduced 2+ years later) and its features and benefits, which led to the start of a project to develop a similar type of product and the significant head start allowed the company to enter the market first with a much better design and much less costly product.
3. Many examples but a few:
   
   - Solved a chemical problem that allowed a bleach product to be thickened with a fluorescent whitening agent (never done before) which improved performance and consumer benefits at a cost reduction from the previous formulation.
4. - Discovered a number of green technologies including a product that kills and prevents mold growth using a common, food safe ingredient that has no environmental impact on use.
