Microcapsules
Photocromic
The photochemical process of Nanoxem involves the use of photochromic dyes that change color when exposed to ultraviolet (UV) radiation. Here are some details on how this process works and its applications.
Photochromic dyes are designed to alter their color when exposed to UV light. When UV radiation hits the dye, it undergoes a chemical reaction that modifies its molecular structure, resulting in a color change. Once the UV source is removed, the dye returns to its original state, reversing the color change.
The photochromic process is an example of how technology can be used to add functionality and style to products, combining innovation with practicality to meet consumer needs and preferences.
Benefits
PHOTO UVP/UVS
UV Protection
Additional Function: Beyond the aesthetic appeal, photochromic textiles can help protect the skin against UV rays, as some materials can block or absorb ultraviolet radiation when changing color.
Easy of Integration
Simple Processing: Photochromic technology can be incorporated into existing textile manufacturing processes without requiring significant adaptations, making it a practical and efficient solution for the industry.
Dynamic Aesthetics
Color Change: Photochromic fabrics offer an interactive visual effect, changing color when exposed to sunlight or UV radiation. This allows for the creation of clothing and accessories that react to the environment, providing an innovative and dynamic look.
Photo UVP/UVS: reversible dyes that react to UV radiation with vibrant colors and return to their original shade when exposed to light-blocking conditions. Encapsulated for enhanced stability, they ensure long-lasting performance.
Thermocromic
Nanoxem’s thermochromic process for textiles involves the use of dyes that change color in response to temperature changes. Insilico’s thermochromic dyes are designed to change color when exposed to temperature changes. As the temperature increases or decreases, the molecular structure of the dyes changes, resulting in a visible color change.
Reversible and Irreversible : Thermochromic dyes can be reversible, where the color returns to its original state after the temperature normalizes, or irreversible, where the color change remains permanent after the temperature changes.
Benefits
Innovative Design
It allows the creation of products with a unique appearance, which change color with temperature, attracting consumers looking for innovation and style.
Interactivity
Thermochromic products offer an immersive user experience, where the color of the fabric responds to environmental conditions or direct user interaction.
Additional Functionality
In addition to the aesthetic appeal, the color change can indicate temperature changes, which can be useful in work environments or situations where temperature perception is crucial.
Durability and Quality
Thermochromic dyes are formulated to withstand multiple temperature changes and washing cycles, ensuring the effect lasts over time.
ThermoBall
Microcapsules are a functional product that contains phase-change material (PCM) within them. They absorb heat as the surrounding temperature rises and gradually release heat as the temperature decreases.
When applied to bedding and clothing, ThermoBall microcapsules undergo phase changes in response to temperature fluctuations in the external environment or changes in body temperature. This allows them to absorb or release heat, providing a cooling or thermal insulation effect that enhances thermal comfort and offers a sense of relaxation and well-being.
Benefits
Cold Weather Clothing
Ideal for jackets, vests, and other types of winter clothing, it provides warmth without adding excessive weight, making it perfect for activities such as hiking, climbing, and everyday use.
Versatility in Design
The technology can be integrated into a wide range of textile products, from technical clothing for winter sports to casual clothing that requires comfort and thermal protection.
Sustainability
We are committed to sustainability, using recyclable materials in our technology, minimizing environmental impact without compromising product quality.
User Experience
In addition to technical performance, it provides a superior user experience, with adaptable thermal comfort and materials that are pleasant to the touch.
AromaBall
Aromatic and functional microcapsules are products developed through the process of encapsulating liposoluble liquid aromas and functional compounds to enhance fragrance durability.
By solidifying the liquid aroma, it can be applied in various ways as needed. These aromatic and functional oils, when microencapsulated, extend the lifespan of the aroma and retain their functional properties, making them widely used in textiles, paper, plastics, paints, and other materials.
They can be tailored to different industries based on customer needs. For textiles, the application of these microcapsules is straightforward and can be integrated into standard processing methods. The particle size, aroma durability, and other characteristics can be adjusted according to the desired use.
Benefits
Fragrance Durability
Long-lasting: AromaBall provides gradual release of fragrance, ensuring that the scent lasts for an extended period, even after multiple washes.
Uniformity and Distribution of Fragrance
Consistent Application: AromaBall technology ensures an even distribution of fragrance on the fabric, preventing areas of concentration or lack of scent.
Simple Application Process
Ease of Use: The application of AromaBall in textiles is simple and can be easily integrated into existing manufacturing processes.
Efficiency in Fragrance Use
Fragrance Efficiency: Microencapsulation allows for the efficient use of fragrances, reducing the amount needed and maximizing the aroma's effect.
BioBall
The BioBall process for textiles uses advanced microencapsulation technology to incorporate functional ingredients directly into the fabric fibers. This method involves encapsulating active substances in microcapsules, which are then integrated into the textile material.
How the Technology Works
+ Microencapsulation: Active ingredients, such as fragrances, antimicrobial agents, or moisturizers, are encapsulated in tiny microcapsules. These capsules are then applied to fabrics during the manufacturing or finishing process.
+Gradual Release: The microcapsules are designed to release their contents in a controlled and prolonged manner, ensuring that the active ingredients are released slowly over time, providing continuous benefits to the user.
+ Resistance to Wear and Washing: Microcapsules are formulated to resist wear and washing, ensuring that the active benefits remain even after repeated use and cleaning.
Benefits
Long-Lasting Fragrance in Clothing
Fabrics treated with fragrance-releasing microcapsules provide a lasting aroma that remains even after several washes, offering a fresh and pleasant sensation.
Antimicrobial Protection
Microcapsules containing antimicrobial agents help prevent the growth of bacteria and fungi, improving hygiene and reducing unwanted odors.
Moisturizing Garments
Fabrics can be infused with microcapsules that release moisturizing ingredients, providing skincare benefits during wear.
Enhanced Performance
Applying microcapsules can improve specific fabric properties, such as stain resistance, moisture absorption, or UV protection.
