PrediMatch: HSP Based Web-App to Formulate Digitally
Sustainable
Once determined, the predictive HSP of ingredients can be used sustainably to select, replace and compatibilize ingredients for developments of coatings, inks, personal and home care products.
Collaborative
Our global community (end-product and ingredient developers) can vote on the ingredients they want us to add, for free, in the shared datasets to continually expand. Suppliers can add theirs for free.
Digitalization
Digitally narrow down the formulation space 10-fold and formulate up to 100x faster, using the world's largest shared HSP datasets of commercial ingredients, in combination with your own privately uploaded datasets.

Achieve maximum efficiency of each ingredient, improving formulation properties while reducing costs
The power of science-based formulation
The applied predictive formulation science, Hansen Solubility Parameters (HSP) is very powerful to develop solutions, dispersions, and to complement emulsions regarding compatibility. HSP distance between ingredients is related to maximize formulation properties: adhesion, barrier, compatibility, colour, chemical resistance, efficacy, film forming, gloss, rheology, stability...

Frequently Asked Questions
HSP is based on mutual compatibility. Each ingredient is tested via a standard set of dissolution or sedimentation trials. By evaluating the resulting behaviour (Interaction, dissolution, stabilization, etc), parameters can be calculated for each individual ingredient.
The general HSP equation allows to compose those parameters and predict the properties of the resulting mixtures; or set some requirements and select the ingredients better suited for your application.
PrediMatch allows you to study the influence of each ingredient in your formulations, select the most suitable candidates to maximize your desired properties, and provides a clear visualization of your formulations in HSP space.
It can also show your ingredient’s HSP parameters in our database, so other users can find them and use them to develop new formulations. A great exposure for ingredient suppliers!
PrediMatch is a web-app service and only requires an internet connection. It is designed for and tested on the latest stable desktop versions of Chrome, Firefox, Edge, and Safari. It does not support any version of IE, including IE 11.
PredictID is the largest database of commercial ingredient HSP parameters, and has now::
1200+ New (exclusive!) experimental HSP determined using VLCI’s workflow
10000+ New YMB calculated parameters from database conversions
200 Validated parameters from collaborations with material suppliers
Complete dataset from HSPiP (10K+ ingredients)
Validated bibliographic data from academic papers
Each HSP parameter’s source is clearly labelled, as the aim is to centralize all available data. Users can also privately load their own datasets to work in the webapp.
Very. We offer two ways of using the service:
Keep all data in your local storage, load and export the results each session, share ingredients, datasets and recipes using your own means.
Use our cloud (AWS based) service to store recipes and ingredients, set individual sharing privileges to each file/dataset inside your team. All communication and files are encrypted with AES-256 or similar.
PrediApps does NOT collect any user data beyond the voluntary voting and feedback system.
Yes, there are three avenues to add an ingredient to the database:
When you first join our formulation community, you can provide us with a list of essential components for your daily work, and we will determine them for free.
All users can vote for ingredients to be added to VLCI’s internal determination. This way the database grows aligned with the interests of the community.
Users can send chemical information (SMILES, CAS) of ingredients to estimate their HSP parameters using the Y-MB model.
New suppliers get 10 experimental HSP for free!
And VLCI also offers confidential parameter determinations and application studies on demand (for a fee).
Yes! HSP started in polymer science, but since then it has expanded to all industrial sectors and applications. Cleaners, food, adhesives, coatings, cosmetics, and pharma, to name a few.
It has helped countless formulators improve their desired properties, troubleshoot their formulations, and improve the stability (or instability!) of their processes and products. Having access to PrediMatch provides a unique insight into formulations!
There are a lot of new computational models for solubilization and ingredient interactions, the most successful of which is COSMO-RS. Regrettably, computational resources cannot match the complexity of real-world, industrial ingredients, biobased products, or 15+ ingredient formulations.
HSP, being semi-empirical (experimental parameters, computational model) has been the most successful framework developed for the task, and it is still expanding with contributions from industry and academia every day. It is really unique and more sustainable than other approaches; but let us know if you find something better!

Experts on Predictive formulation science
VLCI is a certified research centre for determinations of HSP and implementations thereof. The solubility (or dispersibility) of a product is assessed within a standardized set of solvents with known HSPs, spread over the 3-dimensional HSP space. Solvents and products are automatically dispensed via the gravimetric dispensing unit of our High Throughput platform. The solubility is ranked from 1 (excellent) to 6 (very poor).
Based on these scores, the HSPiP software generates the solubility sphere of the tested product.
