- 4. A technological solution to a multitude
of industrial problems
Microencapsulation includes all the technologies that allow the coating or entrapment of
active ingredients inside individual particles whose size varies from several microns to
several millimeters.
Encapsulating an active principle meets 4 main
objectives which can be combined:
Immobilization
Protection or stabilization against
adverse environmental factors
Controlled or delayed release on the
action site
Functionnalization or structuration

- 5. A technological solution to a multitude
of industrial problems
Developing a process or a product based on micro-
encapsulation supposes the selection of one method
among a large number of technologies, the optimization
of the numerous operating conditions, the definition of
a formulation.
The solution must fulfill the particular conditions of the
application, the project specifications, and respect the
regulation. The process developed must be scalable to in-
plant production, taking into account all the technological
constraints of the industry, and at an acceptable
manufacturing cost.

- 10. A wide range of possible uses
Microencapsulation can be applied to all sectors of industrial activity.
Capsulæ has developed its own specific expertise and know-how for the encapsulation of
active principles in the following domains:

- 11. Food & Nutrition
Microencapsulation of food ingredients is useful in meeting a
number of objectives, including protection during the food
incorporation process and subsequent storage, taste and odor
masking and controlled/prolonged release.
A wide range of functional, lipophilic and hydrophilic ingredients in
powder or liquid form can be encapsulated, including:
Probiotic micro-organisms, enzymes
Vegetable oils, fish oils
Aromas, fragrances, plant extracts
Mineral salts, vitamins, amino acids
…

- 12. Feed & Animal Health Care
Whether it be for pets, livestock or even aquaculture,
microencapsulation greatly facilitates the introduction
(e.g., reducing dust, improving appetence, formulating
incompatible compounds), increases stability
(e.g., phytogenic additives or probiotic micro-organisms
during pelletizing) and allows for the controlled/delayed
release (e.g., ruminal bypass for certain vitamins and amino
acids) of various active principles for multiple applications:
Complete & complementary feed
Nutritional specialties & supplements
Veterinary formulas, vaccines
Artificial insemination

- 13. Agriculture & Environment
Improving products used in crop protection first requires the
optimization of the biological profile of the active compounds,
a reduction in the product dose, better flexibility for the user
and an improved applicability.
Whether it is for the traditional agro-chemical industry market
or the biological protection of crops, encapsulation is an
undeniably essential and effective process, used for the
following compounds:
Insecticides and fungicides
Herbicides and fertilizers
Repellents and larvicides
Micro-organisms for soil inoculation, biopesticides

- 14. Home & Personal Care
Microencapsulating the main ingredients found in detergents
significantly improves their effectiveness and greatly
facilitates their handling. When applied to the personal care
market, encapsulation provides distinct advantages as it
enables trapping of volatile compounds, association of
incompatible ingredients, as well as a product differentiation.
All these elements constitute determining factors that can
develop and improve the performance of products such as:
Cosmetic creams
Shampoo, toothpaste, soap and shower gels
Washing powders and washing-up liquids
Household products

- 15. Fine & Specialty Chemicals
The field of fine and specialty chemicals is constantly evolving
since the emergence of strong regulatory constraints that
require environmentally-friendly solutions to be developed.
Capsulae has acquired both skills and expertise in
developing new techniques using biodegradable materials
and restricting the use of organic solvents. These techniques
can be used for the following applications:
Adhesives & Sealants
Paints & Coatings
Building & Construction materials
Self-Healing & Phase-Change materials
