Allchemist is a one-of-a-kind digital platform developed by formulators for formulators in the paint and coatings industry, and as such, we can’t compare it to anything else on the market.

However, we get many questions regarding its comparison to materials search engines on the market, for instance, UL Prospector – so far, the biggest materials & ingredients global search engine.

Our answer is: Current materials search engines cover only about 20% of work you can do with Allchemist.
