LANXESS plans AI-assisted formulation development for polyurethane systems

AI Platform Speeds Up Custom Recipe Development

Initial project phase completed successfully

Shanghai, November 7, 2019 – LANXESS is applying artificial intelligence more widely in product developme.

During the initial project phase, LANXESS expanded its database of prepolymer-based formulatio.

In the next step, data and process experts from LANXESS will investigate the reliability of prediction* formulations with the help of artificial intelligence to meet customer-specific requirements for product characteristi.

Artificial intelligence supplements domain knowledge

Until now, chemists have largely had to rely on their expertise and years of experience when developing new formulations with well-defined product properties such as hardness, tensile strength and viscosi.

LANXESS has accumulated some experience using artificial intelligen.

For Jörg Hellwig, head of LANXESS' digitalization initiatives, the partnership between Citrine and LANXESS's Polyurethane Systems business unit demonstrates the growing role of digitalization in product developme.

Digitization of the entire value chain

LANXESS launched its digitalization program in 2017 and created a dedicated team for this purpo.

CitrineInformatics is an industry leader in the use of data and artificial intelligence to accelerate the development of materials and chemica.
