Environment Friendly & Smart Formulation
Status Quo
The delivery of active substances within the microcapsules is well known old technique and highly useable for increasing the performance of molecules.
But the microcapsule material is made of microplastics. Those microplastics are extremely harmful to nature. Not only for soils but also for aquatic life; with run off and leaching they reach to rivers and finally seas.

Expected Regulatory Requirements in Crop Protection Formulation Materials
In 2019, ECHA proposed a restriction on the use of intentionally added plastics with a phasing out transition period lasting 5 years. In June 2020 the EU Committee for Risk Assessment (RAC) confirmed their decision to support this restriction and the expectation is that EU member states will vote on this is 2021, with the restrictions being adopted in 2022. During the transition, companies will have to re-formulate any products which have up to now relied on microplastic encapsulation.
Nanomik has discovered a new technology to microencapsulate by using abundant, sustainable and edible bio-polymers.
Microsome Enables
- Encapsulation of plant secondary metabolites and antimicrobial peptides
- Controlled release via pH response and / or water swelling
- Longer shelf-life of formulated biological crop protection products
- Suitable for all types of CPP (fungicide, insecticide, herbicide, nematicide)
- Higher-rates of encapsulation efficiency
Microsome can be used in formulation of;
- Crop protection products
- Personal care products (cosmetics)
- Food Ingredients
- Animal Health products
- Pharmaceuticals
