SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 05, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — NobleAI, a pioneer in AI solutions for Materials Informatics, announced it has been selected by ICL Industrial Products to help drive the development of innovative chemical compounds for use in its flame retardants. NobleAI’s unique Science-Based AI modeling technology and powerful Visualizations, Insights & Predictions (VIP) platform are expected to help speed the discovery of new high-performance, sustainable compounds for ICL’s life-saving flame retardants, which are used in a multitude of industrial and consumer applications.
Using NobleAI’s Science-Based AI models and VIP platform, ICL will be able to leverage AI to explore multiple new molecules in a more timely and cost-efficient manner versus lab-only development methods, which typically allow for testing of only a handful of new chemical compounds in a year. This effort will be in collaboration with Microsoft Azure Quantum Elements (AQE) and will accelerate ICL’s ability to identify and evaluate promising new compounds for the development of safer, more sustainable and innovative flame retardants.
“We are honored to partner with a true industry leader like ICL and are excited to support them in their innovation journey,” said Sunil Sanghavi, CEO of NobleAI. “Their unwavering commitment to advancing safety and sustainability, while simultaneously achieving their cost and profitability goals, sets them apart as a global company dedicated to balancing environmental responsibility with economic success.”
“ICL is in constant pursuit of new molecular formulations to help improve the performance and sustainability of our flame retardants,” said Yaniv Kabalek, president, Industrial Products Division, ICL. “By partnering with NobleAI, we can reduce wasted resources and speed time to market, while continuing to deliver the safest, highest performing products to our customers.”
