The Citrine Platform helps our specialty chemicals customers develop better, more sustainable formulations, respond to customers more quickly, and work around supply disruptions faster than ever.
Specialty chemicals companies use the Citrine platform to:
Streamline development:
“By analyzing feature importance, we quickly identified which ingredients actually mattered and eliminated those with minimal impact. That allowed us to focus our exploration, streamline our formulations, and dramatically improve development efficiency.”
— Director of Innovation, Global Specialty Chemical Company
Become a solution provider:
“We transformed the company; from a product driven company to a solution driven company. I think that’s been the most important lesson we took from the first couple of years of our journey with AI. … Without AI it would not have been possible to keep up with the markets changing so quickly.”
— Dr. Peter Van Herzle, Head of Coatings Business Unit, Dorfner
Accelerate starter formulations:
“In the old workflow, it took a chemist 6 months to come up with a starter formulation. With the platform, they can get a starter formulation on day 1.”
— R&D Technical Manager, Major Specialty Chemical Company
Drive deeper customer conversations:
“I’d love to have 10 of these projects going. I want more application data to drive deeper conversations around subjects our customers care about.”
— Stepan Business Manager for the Liquid Dishwash Project
The specialty chemicals industry has seen margin pressure from growing commoditization. Meanwhile, emerging regulatory requirements and a new focus on sustainability and eco-friendly products has opened opportunities for innovators. Citrine can help producers find new areas of differentiation, from additives, agrichemicals and catalysts to lubricants and surfactants. Our platform uses AI to push the boundaries of what’s possible: efficiently searching through countless options and finding the solution that is the most likely to succeed, all in a fraction of the time.
