Case Study Daicel Accelerates Innovation and Reduces the Number of Experiments with Aspen PolymersTM70% reduction in experiments CHALLENGE Daicel is developing a new polymer with a narrow molecular weight distribution using a specialized polymerization technique. SOLUTION Daicel worked with AspenTech to develop a custom RAFT polymerization model in Aspen Polymers. They applied the model to optimize process conditions and reduce experimental costs. BENEFITS • Customizing Aspen Polymers delivered multiple benefits: • 70% reduction in experiments • Reduced research period from 22 days to 3 days • Guidance for key decisions during product development based on technical and economic evaluation “ AspenT ech is the best partner I have ever worked with.” T akahiro Aratani Researc
