Perstorp and Citrine Informatics accelerate alkyd emulsion R&D with AI
- Perstorp has partnered with Citrine Informatics to apply AI to its Alkyd Emulsion Project.
- The Citrine platform models and evaluates thousands of formulation possibilities to identify optimal compositions faster.
- AI use targets emulsifier packages, optimized process conditions and next‑generation surfactant chemistries for waterborne alkyds.
- The approach aims to reduce experimental cycles, material usage, development costs and improve customer responsiveness.
Partnership and objective
Perstorp has partnered with Citrine Informatics to deploy Citrine’s AI‑driven formulation tools on its Alkyd Emulsion Project, targeting faster development of stable, high‑performance alkyd emulsions.
Technical approach
The platform enables teams to model and evaluate thousands of formulation possibilities, helping scientists rapidly identify effective emulsifier packages and optimized process conditions for different alkyd resins. It is designed to work with the complex and often sparse experimental datasets typical in chemical R&D.
Expected outcomes
Perstorp says the collaboration will reduce lab‑intensive trial‑and‑error, cut experimental cycles and material usage, lower development costs, and improve responsiveness to customer needs. The work also opens opportunities to explore and guide next‑generation surfactant chemistries.
