Micropore Technologies Ltd
Station Yard , Station Yard , Ind Estate, United Kingdom | Waste recycling
Experts in specialist particles and emulsion manufacture, we aim to help our customers to innovate and differentiate their products using mono sized and mono dispersed emulsions, particles and encapsulated particles.
Diverse markets have benefited from Micropore’s leading edge technologies and expertise to solve many challenges in formulation, process and production.
Established over ten years ago as a high-technology spin-out of Loughborough University, Micropore has grown to be an experienced expert in specialist particles and emulsion manufacturing working with a wide portfolio of exciting and demanding clients. We maintain our academic rigour and cutting-edge approach and have developed to be a unique and powerful partner to our clients.
A partner you can rely on
Micropore is a long-term business partner, working as a contract manufacture of emulsions and specialist particles as well as a manufacturer of particle and emuslion equipment. Our research and technology expertise and findings are fed back to our customers in order to refine processes and innovate new technologies.
Substantial increases in yield
The gentle nature of the production process does not damage sensitive and often expensive raw materials, resulting in increased productivity and lowered costs.
Significant reduction of waste materials
As a result of higher yields and operational consistency, clients have reported zero ‘bad batches’ with a major reduction in the cost of waste production.
Many applications across numerous industry sectors
Micropore has delivered benefits in, among others, the low-fat food, chocolate, flavour and fragrance, drug delivery, chromatography, aerospace and cosmetics sectors.
Applications
We combine academic rigour with innovative, lateral thinking to generate solutions that really work for our partner clients.
Encapsulation
The Micropore intelligent emulsification technology results in huge benefits to industry:
- Prevention of interaction and spoilage between ingredients during the mixing of components
- Enhanced, extended shelf life of products
- Triggered release of selected active ingredients during application
- Tailored release profile to suit formulation and application
- Masking of less desirable components (sharp tastes, low fat elements)
- Protection of ingredients from oxidation
- Protection of ingredients during application (eating, ingestion, spraying)
In nutraceuticals we are amongst the leaders in the field of encapsulation of such materials as omega-3 fish oils providing a mask for sharp tastes.
Complex coacervation is an area of expertise for us at Micropore and we have worked extensively in pharmaceuticals and food to achieve excellent results.
Micropore specialises in working collaboratively with clients; we are passionate about particles and develop the right solution for each challenge. This may be us providing the particles to you or providing the equipment for you to produce your own particles.
Whichever route is best, the patented processes result in manufacturing benefits:
- Reliability – each batch will meet the exacting standards of our clients
- Reduced energy usage
- Reduced footprint of machinery over traditional methods – especially good for smaller..manufacturing plants and research and development sites
- Reduced wastage of product due to uniform, reliable production
- Exceptional control – lower shear than traditional methods
- Preservation and protection of sensitive, delicate, expensive ingredients as the lower ..shear provides gentle conditions
Our intelligent encapsulation systems make Micropore an ideal partner in many industries, especially pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, agrochemical, cosmetics and fragrance and inks (including digital inks). We have also partnered successfully with a wide range of industries including aerospace, oil and gas.
Specialist Particles
We often say it: we are passionate about particles and this system is capable of making the same particles time and time again. We have engineered our Particle Generation System to be capable of batch or continuous production to suit your needs.
Our system is available in 100% stainless steel as an enclosed or open system ensuring the pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, food and cosmetics industries can benefit from our technology.
Our Micropore Particle Generation System allows us to produce a chosen particle size with a coefficient of variation (CV) of circa 11% - 15% on a scalable basis from 1 – 30Kg/day. Our system is robust and reliable allowing us to either make particles with you and for you or for you to run the equipment at your own site.
The scalability of our System allows us to work with you to go from laboratory formulation testing into full production tonnages without reengineering the production process. Time and cost are therefore minimised in this way.
Our System can make particles, resins and beads. Both gel and macroporous particles can contain a tailored internal pore structure making them ideal for biopharma types of separations.
The benefits of the Micropore Particle Generation System are many fold:
- Reliability – each batch will meet the exacting standards of our clients
- Reduced energy usage
- Reduced footprint of machinery over traditional methods – especially good for smaller . ..manufacturing plants and research and development sites
- Reduced wastage of product due to uniform, reliable production
- Scalability – from laboratory to full production quantities
- Stainless steel and fully enclosed equipment to meet any industry standards
We have expertise in Specialist areas of particle production such as:
- Addition Polymerisation
- Condensation Polymerisation
- Solvent Polymerisation
- Inorganic based particles (eg silica supports for catalysts)
- Highly tailored internal pore structures
