Microcapsules

Microcapsules are composed by an active core surrounded by a solid shell.

They are usually used to avoid the interaction of the encapsulated active compound with the surrounding environment.

The shell needs to be designed such that it can be ruptured, allowing the release of the encapsulated chemical, by a controlled external trigger.

Microcapsulation enables the release of active compounds at the right time and at the right place, enabling enhanced performance, process optimization and can be used as flowable tracers.
