  • Purpose of Micro-Capsulation
    • • To make easy to handle a liquid by producing a group of solid substances gathered around.
    • To control releasing pattern and amount of interior matter through the wall material.
    • To control two substances reaction by separating and mixing when it is necessary with Micro-Capsulation.
    • To stop volatilization of volatile substances. -Duck down, Goose down etc.
  • Function of Micro Capsulation
  • • Control the releasing speed and amount of core substance.
    • Make it possible to stick necessary matters on wanted body without visible change.
    • Make it possible to transfer one substance to wanted place.
    • Able to place two reactive substances together.
    • Able to control the time and place of reaction of core material.
    • Convenient to deal and handle sensitive or poisonous or stimulus substance.
    • Able to add some function according to Core material Wall material.
    • Prevent oxidation and restoration of functional matter.
Raw material application field
Down and Fiber

Phytoncide can be applicable to various fibers using in the padding, goose-down duvet, down filling, & etc. for ammonia odor removal and phytoncide effect.

Automotive material

Tests and experiments are underway to remove toxic substances (formaldehyde, TVOC) from automobiles by Kolon-Glotac (vehicle mat manufacturer) and Kum-ho Mitsui Chemicals (car chair foam manufacturer). They are considering phytoncide as an alternative because phytoncide is a natural substance which is harmless to the human body.
