Liposphere

Liposphere™

Liposphere™ products consist of many small droplets of material entrapped in a polymer matrix. A unique property of this system is that both hydrophobic and hydrophilic materials can be incorporated into the product.

  • Animal, vegetable or synthetic polymers
  • Sizes from 400-4000 microns
  • Delivered in slurry form
  • Available in alginate, agar and gelatin matrices.

Customized samples are available upon request.

“Encapsulation is a great way to generate brand differentiation by creating striking visual effects, or by enhancing the delivery of active ingredients.”

Liposphere™ Product Usage Tips:

The Liposphere™ product line is very easy to work with when formulating and processing; however, it is suggested that some simple guidelines be followed to optimize the stability and utility of the final product and to facilitate trouble-free processing.

  • Maintain a moderate pH; near neutral as a general rule.
    • Avoid a high pH, especially when working with gelatin Lipospheres™ .
    • Avoid a pH level below 6.5 when using Lipospheres™ that contain an ultramarine pigment.
  • Especially avoid high temperatures when using Liposphere™ products:
    • For alginates and agar, avoid temperatures approaching 80C
    • For gelatin, avoid temperatures above 35C
  • Less than 50% surfactant is recommended.
  • Avoid monovalent cations in formulations containing alginate Liposphere™ products, such as potassium and sodium.
  • Add Lipospheres™ at room temperature, generally at the point in the formulation when one would add fragrance or colorants.
  • When using gelatin Liposphere™ products, avoid the use of:
    • Miscible fragrances
    • Alcohols
    • Strong solvents (toluene, ketones, butyl acetate, cyclohexane)
    • Aromatic solvents
