Small Packages Lead to Immense Opportunities: Microencapsulation of Adhesives and Sealants
Microencapsulation can be an important instrument in the adhesive or sealant formulator’s toolbox. This versatile technology makes it possible to combine materials that are otherwise incompatible or have unworkable reaction rates if they were compounded in a conventional manner. Microencapsulation can also provide for the incorporation of additives that can be released in a time-controlled method during the products life. This significantly broadens the working space in which the formulator was previously contained.
