"Encapsys", the microencapsulation division of Appleton Papers, has entered into an exclusive, strategic partnership with Troy Corporation to develop and supply a microencapsulated biocide to select marketplaces worldwide. The joint development agreement has been reached to create a custom-formulated microencapsulation system that provides a controlled release mechanism for specialty biocide additives. Through microencapsulation, scientists were able to control the antimicrobial activity of a biocide to be used in paints, architectural coatings and mortar formulations. The microencapsulation process is the process in which solid, liquid or gaseous core materials are encased in "shells" or "capsules" that are one micron to several hundred microns in diameter. Among the many benefits of microencapsulation is the controlled release of a core material.
