Polyester wall microencapsulation systems: BASFRecent Research Landscape

Inconsistent particle size and poor active ingredient stability lead to formulation failure and reduced shelf life. These innovations control the interfacial polymerization and dispersion process to ensure uniform encapsulation and payload protection.

What technical problems is BASF addressing in Polyester wall microencapsulation systems?

Uncontrolled nutrient release rates

(8)evidences

Uncontrolled leakage or rapid degradation of core substances in aqueous environments. Preventing early release ensures targeted delivery and prolonged efficacy in agricultural applications.

Carotenoid oxidative degradation instability

(5)evidences

Carotenoids and vitamins are highly susceptible to chemical breakdown when exposed to light, heat, and oxygen in aqueous environments. Preventing this degradation ensures potency and maintains visual clarity in multiphase formulations.

Uncontrolled herbicide release rate

(3)evidences

Premature or rapid release of herbicides leads to crop phytotoxicity and reduced residual efficacy. Controlling the release rate ensures prolonged weed suppression and improved crop safety.
