MARKET

 

• Micro-encapsulation imprisons very fine solid or liquid particles inside of a membrane.

• It is applied in quite varied fields such as pharmacies, agrochemistry, the food industry,

cosmetics, printing, petrochemistry, textiles...

• With MICROCAP, the priority targeted market is cosmetotextiles.

• The cosmetotextile market is an emerging market in full expansion whose worldwide

sales are estimated at 500 million € in 2013 and where 2/3 are recorded in France, the

leader in this field.

 

TECHNOLOGY DESCRIPTION

 

• MICROCAP’s silicon microcapsules resolve many inconveniences identified in other types

of microcapsules, namely in terms of non-toxicity, but they remain porous, which makes

the encapsulation of volatile products challenging and unreliable, for example.

• MICROCAP gets rid of this bottleneck thanks to its manufacturing process that leads to a

more impermeable silicon membrane.

 

Competitive ADVANTAGES

 

• Patent granted.

• Analytical methods associated

• Encapsulation of absorbent and volatile molecules

• High encapsulation yield

• Silicon membrane

• Growing cosmetotextile market (Slimming market)
