Cyclodextrins
Cyclodextrins (CD) are the core of Cellresin's technologies.
CDs are conically-shaped polysaccharides (cyclized glucose monomers) well-known for their ability to form host-guest inclusion complexes with a wide variety of small organic molecules in their "donut"-shaped hydrophobic central cavity. The specific inclusion properties of CDs make them ideal for adsorption and barrier applications in a wide spectrum of materials.
Cellresin has developed and patented CD technology for use as an active barrier or scavenger to enhance conventional packaging materials and nonwoven fibers. Cellresin brings an unparalleled level of expertise and a technology platform to enable its licensees to develop novel new products.
Nanometal Particles
The benefits of the nanometal particles in combination with cyclodextrin are demonstrated in the application containing low human odor threshold organic vapors that are reactive (e.g., acids, sulfides, etc.) with elemental metal particles.
Reactive Chemistry
The technology consists of an overprint coating, fountain solution and a printing manufacturing process. The printed materials resulting from the use of this technology contain a constituent, additive or layer that reacts with and reduces the release of volatile organic compounds with a reactive carbonyl group. Such volatile compounds include but are not limited to aldehyde, ketone, carboxylic acid or other such volatile organic compounds responsible for the characteristic, strong printing odor associated with lithographic printed materials.
Neutralization occurs when the scavenger chemically reacts with mobile reactive carbonyl odor compounds (typically volatile) that are produced in the ink layer and subsequently diffuse through other packaging structure layers. A new non-volatile, chemical adduct is formed via the scavenger thereby preventing its release and sensory detection. The scavenging process continues during and after the printing process.
