chemistry: encapsulates
SDS Link >With multiple encapsulation technology capabilities, Ashland develops custom encapsulates tailored to meet the needs of your formulation.
captivates™ hc encapsulates
Captivates™ hc encapsulates are a series of small particles, in sizes ranging from 250 µm to 3,000 µm, that contain an active ingredient, or core material, surrounded by a shell produced using a complex coacervation process. Capsule wall thickness, color, capsule size and core material can be customized.
key benefits:
- biodegradable wait and nature-derived
- based on gelatin and Gum Arabic
- suitable for a wide range of oil soluble materials
- releases internal phase when shear is applied
- visible and non-visible
captivates™ gl encapsulates
Captivates™ gl encapsulates are a series of small particles, in sizes ranging from 5 µm to 2,000 µm, that contain material dispersed in a continuous matrix. These microbeads are made using JettCutter™ technology, which forms a hydrogel matrix that can entrap insoluble powders, oils and water-soluble actives.
key benefits:
- vegan suitable
- biodegradable and up to 100% natural origin content¹
- utilizes a natural hydrogel matrix
- suitable for solids, oils and insoluble material
- triggered delivery by pH, dilution and shear
- visible
