Microencapsulation

Microencapsulation technology allows us to change the characteristics and functionality of certain active ingredients. The processes allow us to shield ingredients from external effects and subsequently separate reactants, regulate the release of the active substance, reduce toxicity or alter the active ingredient’s characteristic in a number of other ways. The microencapsulation process results in microcapsules sized across a range of several microns and all the way up to 100 microns or more.

Microencapsulation technology enables the encapsulation of various core materials with different polymer membranes, regardless of the industry. Depending on the properties of the core material and required characteristics of the encapsulated materials, we use different encapsulation techniques such as interfacial polymerisation, in-situ polymerisation, coacervation, spray drying and fluid bed coating.

Permeability of

membranes in detail

The purpose of microencapsulation is usually defined by the permeability of the membrane, which is carefully selected to suit different systems and demands.

Slow release membrane
The core is released from the capsule over a longer period of time. The release time depends on the membrane type, the thickness and other characteristics and can vary from a few days to several months. The active ingredients can be water- or solvent-based. Applications with such a membrane include fragrances, pesticides, essential oils, cannabinoids and reactive chemicals.

Impermeable membrane
The core material is encapsulated inside the capsules, completely separated and protected against environmental effects. The purpose of such encapsulation is to ensure complete isolation from the environment. This solution is especially useful for phase change materials (PCM) that can be used in the textile and building industries.

Smart membrane
The core is released in certain circumstances (due to mechanical forces, osmotic pressure, temperature increase...). One example is a microencapsulated fragrance that operates on the “scratch and sniff” principle, another example is the release of the active substance in the event of damage to the membrane shell (e.g., self- healing coatings), or situations where the active substance is not released before the system (e.g. coating) is finally applied.
