Microencapsulation technology for the paint industry

Abstract

A new microencapsulation technology has been developed which could prove to change the paint industry in dramatic ways. The invention, entitled Polymeric Encapsulation Process, or PEP, represents in the inventor's words, ‘a mechanism for in situ microencapsulation of discrete water insoluble solid particles by conventional emulsion polymerisation techniques.’
