en.Wedoany.com Reported - Advanced Polymer Coatings (APC) is collaborating with chemical AI company Albert Invent to accelerate the development of next-generation coating products using the Albert OS platform. The platform leverages AI-driven Design of Experiments (DOE) and formulation optimization, reducing APC's development time by 50% while maintaining the chemist's leading role.
Traditional polymer coating R&D relies heavily on scientists' personal experience and decentralized experimental records, leading to knowledge gaps and repeated trial-and-error as projects scale. APC chose to deploy Albert's AI-native operating system for chemistry and materials science to centralize experimental data storage, systematically capture institutional knowledge, and enable efficient cross-team collaboration. As APC continues to expand its global operations, this investment will build a scalable, interconnected innovation infrastructure.
Based on the Albert OS platform, APC scientists can access research insights more quickly and build a searchable innovation database. The Albert Breakthrough module uses AI algorithms to guide experimental paths and automatically filter out ineffective experimental combinations, doubling the efficiency of obtaining optimized formulations. Jeremy Pasatta, Vice President of Technology and Process at APC, stated that as a chemist, this tool has restored creativity to the team, allowing them to continuously iterate based on previous experimental results.
The platform also enables scientists to record experimental results in a structured, searchable format, connect formulation data across projects and teams, use AI-driven DOE tools to guide the next round of experiments, and build a reusable knowledge base for future R&D projects. Nick Talken, CEO of Albert Invent, noted that the combination of structured scientific data and AI-driven tools is helping companies effectively connect experiments with insights, thereby accelerating innovation and forming long-term competitive barriers. Through this collaboration, APC continues to invest in modern R&D infrastructure to solidify its technical expertise in the polymer coatings field.
