The first thing you need to know about capsules is what they should withstand.
For example, in liquid detergents or softeners, the desired qualities and resistance in different environments by temperature and time, as in all research on component aging.
In liquid detergents, resistance to surfactants (these products connect water and fatty products and, therefore, favor the cleaning of linen). Resistance to surfactants is important as well as the deposit of microcapsules on linen.
The main issue lies in preventing surfactants from reaching the center of the capsule and extracting its contents. This can be avoided by increasing the cross-linking or multiplying the layers in the capsule wall, which renders it less porous.
Major issues to be prevented are exponential cost ramp-up and the unfolding of encapsulation in Manufacturing.
The solution is to increase the number of layers with different products.
The greater the number of layers and the difference in materials, the harder for surfactants to penetrate capsules.
Superimposing silicone polymers and organic polymers produces capsules with the desired resistance.
This is the bulk of our activity, because we have worked extensively these different possibilities on several areas. On this matter, we have numerous research trials listed on a large number of different subjects.
Cross-linking transforms a melting polymer (thermoplastic) into a non-melting polymer (thermosetting).
Cross-linking makes it possible to establish bonds between different polymer chains and increase the density of the protective layer or the wall, playing with their hydrophilicity (affinity with water) or its lipophilicity (affinity with oil).
Effective cross-linking improves the resistance against aging and degradation. For example, this is what keeps the linen on your shelves fragrant for longer.
The same thing goes for softeners, although the problem is less serious here as softeners are not as aggressive as liquid detergents.
Accordingly, we produce different capsules for liquid detergents and softeners.
For it is the final goal that dictates the technical and economic choices we make.
Formaldehyde-Free Microcapsules
Formaldehyde is the smallest aldehyde (HCHO) found throughout nature and is also present in the human body. It is suspected of being toxic and carcinogenic.
To address this concern, we have developed microcapsules little to no formaldehyde at all.
To us, no formaldehyde at all means 0 PPM parts per million. Bear in mind that a regular apple holds 40 PPM. Fortunately, we understand very well how to attain 0 PPM if necessary,
and have several developments in this area at present.
