The dawning horizons of microencapsulation are being explored by the MIP (Microencapsulated Industrial Products) division, actively conducting research in new solutions/applications and engaged in developing tailored projects at the request of our customers.
There are many companies in the chemical, cosmetics, food, and pharmaceutical industries that are eagerly investing in innovative microencapsulation processes for use in their respective markets.
It is uncommon for collaborative research to contribute to the development of exceedingly innovative products: vitamins and other "unstable" substances with special protection against external agents (oxidation, light and so on), single-use scented tissues, insertable soles with bacteria-killing agents for footwear, extended-action deodorants, and many more. In each field, IPS microencapsulation has provided answers and has attained significant results: a testimonial to the potential of a process that possesses vast, untapped new horizons, only waiting to be discovered.
What is possible to achieve with this technique:
- to protect substances from the outside environment by keeping them separated from, for example, air or other agents capable of altering them
- to keep incompatible substances separate one from the other, then causing them to react according to a pre-established programme
- to reduce the volatility and flammability of substances, or their inherent handling dangers
- to convert liquid products into dry and free-flowing powders which can be restored to the liquid state when and in the manner required
- a controlled release action thanks to the possibility to break microcapsules in different times and at predetermined conditions.
