Calyxia presents breakthrough microencapsulation technology during JEC Composites Connect

Theses microcapsules can protect reactive, functional and optical additives even in extreme temperature and shear processing conditions (extrusion, injection, compression moulding, film casting, etc.) and deliver them at the right time and site for performance.

• Reactive additives (catalysts, accelerators, curing agents, etc.): The Calyxia technology can protect process additives from premature reaction during processing, and then deliver the additive on command during curing. This provides a significant advancement in terms of process and performance control.

• Functional additives (anti-wear additives, anti-abrasion additives, etc.): This technology can protect functional additives against degradation, cross-reaction or instability during processing. Anti-wear/abrasion additives are then delivered only in the event of wear or abrasion. Functional additives enhance both the performance and lifetime of the final product.

• Optical additives (pigments, liquid crystals, dyes, etc.): This technology can fully protect optical additives throughout the lifetime of the product.

This technology has been successfully validated with many large players in high-performance plastics, electronics materials and adhesives & coatings to provide new features to their materials or improve the performance of their current materials.
