Multi-compartment thermoformed film encapsulation: HenkelRecent Research Landscape

Inconsistent dissolution rates in unit-dose detergents lead to chemical residue and poor cleaning performance. These innovations engineer the physical structure and film integrity to ensure precise release timing.

What technical problems is Henkel addressing in Multi-compartment thermoformed film encapsulation?

Incompatible ingredient cross contamination

(10)evidences

Chemical components in concentrated cleaning agents often react prematurely or degrade when stored in direct contact. Separating these phases into discrete compartments prevents loss of efficacy and unintended chemical reactions before use.

Premature pouch rupture

(6)evidences

Mechanical failure of thin-film compartments during high-speed production or storage. Preventing structural integrity loss ensures reliable chemical containment and controlled release.

Detergent formulation visual instability

(6)evidences

Variability in ingredient ratios during high-speed production leads to inconsistent cleaning performance. Precise portioning ensures reliable chemical efficacy in single-use formats.

Inaccurate unit dose portioning

(4)evidences

Variations in gel viscosity and film tension during high-speed thermoforming lead to inaccurate dosing or leakage. Standardizing the manufacturing process ensures precise volumetric delivery and structural integrity of multi-compartment units.
