Why Milliken’s Encapsys Technology?
Solving Complex Technical Challenges
Microencapsulation is the process of forming a strong shield around a microscopic cargo to protect its core, which can extend product stability and shelf-life, lengthen control periods, sharpen targeting and enable mixtures to improve the efficacy and performance of crop protection products.
