microbeads™ encapsulates
chemistry: Encapsulates
SDS Link >Microbeads™ encapsulates are produced with JetCutter Technology, using rotating cutting wires to create hydrogel beads from a continuous jet of viscous fluid. The resulting droplets are transformed into solidified beads through immersion in a bath of hardening solution. This produces a uniform bead matrix that can contain high levels of encapsulated material. Naturally-derived materials such as chitosan, alginate and carrageenan can be used as the matrix material.
Microbeads™ encapsulates are produced in sizes ranging from 250 μm to 3,000 μm in diameter. They can be used to encapsulate a wide range of materials, including oils, pigments and harmless bacteria. Delivery triggers vary from dilution to pressure and temperature. Recently developed wax-based microbeads™ encapsulates have been designed with melting points as high as 70°C to 75°C.
