The Technology
! High Loading Shell & Core Microcapsules, Heat Stable upto 200C, pH stability from 2 till 14. Typical Size 5 20 microns, delivered in a water dilutable non-hazardous slurry ! Capsules are ductile when wet, brittle when dry and hence release only on demand with friction or time ! Can deliver exceptional deposition rates on EVERY type of fabric. ! Padding, Coating, Printing and Exhaust Method (Order of Preference) ! Indigenously developed technology from first principles, hence very adaptable. ! We can deliver any type of active i.e. fragrance, anti-microbial, repellents, PCMs etc.
