Polymer Process Optimization

Optimize production and rapidly develop new grades.

Improve production rates, yield and quality through rigorous process optimization of the polymer process.

Proven Reaction Kinetic Models

Use flexible built-in reaction kinetic models for step-growth condensation, free radical (bulk/solutions), emulsion, Ziegler-Natta/metallocene or ionic polymerization.

Capable for Solid Polymers

Polymers (and oligomers) can be treated as solids below their melting points— allowing users to model the entire polymer process including drying and dewatering.

Powerful Polymer Modeling Options

Use polymer-specific pure component, mixture and phase equilibrium models and built-in databases for segments, initiator and components. Characterize polymer properties and molecular-weight distributions.
