Method And Computer System For Determining Polymeric Product Properties

Patent No. EP3807888 (titled "Method And Computer System For Determining Polymeric Product Properties") was filed by Covestro on Jun 11, 2019. The application was issued on Oct 15, 2025.

Patent Summary

Polymer formulation tool that predicts foam properties from raw materials and process settings to cut trial-and-error testing. A database of past recipes trains a model to calculate expected results for any new mix, letting users pick target specs and find the best matching recipe instantly. The tool handles complex inputs like isocyanate and polyol ratios, plus machine settings like temperature and mixing time. It also checks how long the product has been stored to account for aging effects. This approach lets engineers test many combinations quickly on a computer before making physical samples, cutting development time and cost.
