Formulation development across different industries
LabV is a Material Intelligence Platform for industrial R&D. It connects formulations, raw material data, test values and process parameters so that R&D and QA teams can compare variants and base decisions on reliable data.
Each industry places its own demands on formulations, raw materials and test methods. What they share: experimental data is often scattered across Excel files, lab reports and instrument exports. The six use cases show how teams in paints and coatings, construction chemicals, adhesives, chemicals, plastics processing, and cleaning products and detergents bring this data together.
Compare recipe variants in a structured way
New recipes are created every day in paint development. LabV brings all information together centrally so that variants can be evaluated more quickly and decisions can be made securely.
Evaluate formulations and validate decisions
In chemical R&D, process parameters, raw materials and test conditions are continuously adjusted. LabV connects all data centrally so that connections can be seen more quickly and decisions are made on a reliable basis.
Evaluate adhesive recipes reliably
Formulations for adhesives are constantly being adapted. LabV brings formulations, test values and test results into a common structure for systematic evaluations and targeted development.
Retrieve formulation data with precision
An adhesives and sealants manufacturer in construction chemicals now retrieves earlier trials with precision. According to the customer, the number of lab trials fell by around 50%.
Analyse test series from lab to plant
A manufacturer of PVC profiles tests several hundred new formulations every year on different extruders. LabV connects formulation, process and test data across every iteration.
Balance many targets in one formulation
Surfactants, pH, foaming behaviour and biodegradability all interact. LabV connects formulations, stability data and test values so that teams can weigh up trade-offs on a sound basis.
Frequently asked question
Which industries is LabV suited to?
LabV supports R&D and QA teams in industries with formulation-based development: paints and coatings, construction chemicals, adhesives, chemicals, plastics processing, and cleaning products and detergents. In all six, decisions depend on formulations, raw materials and test values together.
Which data does LabV connect in formulation development?
LabV connects formulations, raw material data, test values, measurement data and process parameters. Typical sources include Excel files, lab reports, PDF test reports and instrument exports.
How does LabV differ from a LIMS?
A LIMS manages samples, test orders and test results. LabV connects development data across system boundaries and supports the comparison of formulation variants.
Does existing data need to be re-entered?
LabV maps existing data structures. In the construction chemicals use case, the platform adopted the R&D team’s existing filing structure.
What role does AI play in the use cases?
In several use cases, LabV’s AI assistant identifies patterns in test series and deviations between batches. The technical assessment and the decision remain with the R&D team.
