About H-JG Consulting
H-JG Consulting by Dr. Hans-Joachim Graf is a consulting and software company for the rubber industry based in Bad Soden-Salmünster. Its core product is GrafCompounder 5.0, an AI-powered software that predicts formulations and material properties on the basis of existing compounding databases. In addition to rubber, the program supports thermoplastic elastomers (TPE), thermoplastics, polyurethanes and other polymers, provided the formulations are available in normalized form as polymer-based formulations. It performs multi-objective queries with parallel search and calculation steps and generates optimized formulations whose results are fully traceable back to the original data set. In addition, the company offers consulting on rubber compounding and processing (extrusion, molding, coating, TPE), training on the independent use of the software and on its integration with statistical design of experiments (DoE). Dr. Graf is also a Program Instructor at TechnoBiz Communications (webinars for the rubber, TPE, latex and polyurethane industries).
