IDEAL COATING MATERIALS

• 1. Good rheological properties at high concentration and easy workability during encapsulation.

• 2. The ability to disperse or emulsify the active material and stabilize the emulsion produced.

• 3. Non-reactivity with the material to be encapsulated both during processing and on prolonged storage.

15

Cont…

• 4. The ability to seal and hold the active material within its structure during processing or storage.

• 5. The ability to provide maximum protection to the active material against environmental conditions (e.g., oxygen, heat, light, humidity).
