Microencapsulation means packaging an active ingredient inside a capsule ranging in size from one micron to several millimeters. The capsule protects the active ingredient from its surrounding environment until an appropriate time. Then, the material escapes through the capsule wall by various means, including rupture, dissolution, melting or diffusion.
Microencapsulation offers manufacturers many opportunities for exciting breakthroughs in the cosmetic, fragrance printing, and industrial arenas. Our encapsulation techniques are used to manufacture fragrance delivery systems such as InstaScent™ (Scratch and Sniff) and Snap & Burst™, cosmetic & personal care applications, as well as industrial applications.
Microencapsulation is both an art and a science. There’s no ONE way to do it, and each new application provides a fresh challenge. Solving these riddles requires experience, skill and the mastery of many different technologies.
Not all microencapsulation suppliers are created equal, and Lipo Technologies stands out from the crowd as the premier PMU/Gelatin capsule manufacturer. Learn more about the team at Lipo Technologies and our experience with encapsulation and microencapsulation
