Predictive Intelligence for polyurethane foam formulation
Dow used AI formulation models to develop new Luuna foams in 1 production test
Problem
Luuna needed new polyurethane foams to expand its mattress range. Developing suitable formulations required reliable material choices and production trials.
Approach
Dow scientists used Predictive Intelligence, an internal virtual laboratory built around AI models and formulation data. They analyzed ingredient properties to select formulations for Luuna. Dow reported that the resulting new foams required 1 production test.
Results
Takeaway
The models supported formulation choices before physical production testing.
