LANXESS planning AI-assisted formulation development for Urethane Systems

Cologne – LANXESS is broadening its use of artificial intelligence (AI) in product development. The specialty chemicals company has launched a project aimed at expanding its range of prepolymers. The goal is to offer customers tailor-made polyurethane systems with even shorter lead times, including for entirely new applications with different requirements. The Urethane Systems business unit is using the potential of AI and has brought materials AI company Citrine Informatics on board as a project partner. LANXESS data specialists and process experts used the Citrine Platform for artificial intelligence to add further data points to the company's formulation database.
