Products & key benefits

Functional microcapsules for liquid cooling

Increase coolant heat-carrying capability

Microcapsules bring latent buffering into flowing liquid; stable suspension supports circulation. Validate heat transfer, pressure drop and pump energy in the actual loop.

Nanoencapsulated microcapsules and dispersion development for electronic cooling fluids.

Product details

Flexible PCM pads and composites

Fit the interface and slow temperature rise

The shell confines the PCM core while the flexible substrate fits uneven surfaces, allowing limited gaps to contribute transient thermal buffering.

Microcapsules in elastomers for sheets, die-cut parts and conformable interfaces.

Product details

UltraST shape-stable thermal blocks

Combine heat transfer and storage

Graphite transfers heat rapidly, a high-enthalpy core absorbs peaks, and shape-stable leak-resistant design supports compact integration. Existing cooling paths restore capacity at low load.

Blocks and plates developed for source geometry, power profiles and heat-exchange interfaces.

Product details

NANOENCAPSULATED PCM / LIQUID COOLING

Liquid cooling: bring latent heat into the flowing coolant.

Nanoencapsulation forms PCM microcapsules; dispersion design keeps them stably suspended. The coolant can transport heat and provide phase-change buffering, alongside an UltraST storage branch.

Microcapsule liquid-cooling loop + UltraST thermal buffer (system concept)
01

Stable suspension, effective dispersion

Design particle size, shell and dispersion together. Assess settling, redispersion and distribution after circulation so microcapsules remain available for heat transport.

02

Reliable encapsulation through repeated circulation

The shell confines the PCM core. Evaluate shell integrity and performance retention under pump shear, thermal cycling and contact with equipment materials.

03

Latent absorption adds coolant buffering

The core absorbs latent heat within its transition range, increasing heat-carrying and buffering capacity there. System improvement also depends on flow, heat exchangers and pump energy.

Conceptual system; interfaces are matched to equipment. Assess added latent capacity separately from system cooling performance, including pressure drop, pump energy, compatibility and circulation stability.

ULTRAST + NANOENCAPSULATED PCM

How material strengths become application value.

Coolant, conformable layers and stable blocks address continuous heat transport, interfaces and transient peaks respectively.

01 / Stable suspension for circulating coolants

Add phase-change heat transport and buffering to the cooling loop.

Nanoencapsulation and dispersion design keep PCM microcapsules stably distributed in liquid for circulating heat transport.

Data and validation basisLoop validation: flow, temperature rise, pressure drop, pump energy and suspension

02 / Flame retardancy for safer integration

Choose flame-retardant UltraST formulations and encapsulation near heat sources, alongside electrical and thermal safety design.

Flame-retardant selected UltraST formulations work with encapsulation; combustion performance is assessed for the material and finished product.

Data and validation basisTest documentation: combustion performance of the UltraST formulation and finished thermal block

03 / Microencapsulation for substrate integration

Fit flexible pads to irregular surfaces and bring latent capacity into narrow gaps.

MOF-catalyzed transient encapsulation forms a core–shell structure; particle size and loading are adapted to fibres, coatings, foams and elastomers.

Data and validation basisComponent validation: thickness, compression, contact resistance and processed enthalpy

04 / High conductivity: move heat into PCM faster

Spread transient source heat into the storage component rapidly.

A continuous three-dimensional graphite network provides heat paths and reduces internal heat-transfer bottlenecks in UltraST.

Data and validation basisMaterial/component validation: direction of conductivity, contact and transient rise

05 / Shape-stable, leak-resistant design

Keep thermal blocks stable in compact devices and limit liquid migration.

Pore confinement and the composite skeleton hold the PCM core, reducing migration and liquid-leakage pathways after melting.

Data and validation basisComponent validation: post-cycle shape, encapsulation and electrical isolation

06 / High enthalpy: store heat within limited space

Select buffering capacity for peak power and duty cycle.

Latent heat stores energy within the selected transition range; usable capacity follows the effective PCM content of the finished product.

Data and validation basisDevice validation: peak temperature, buffer time and recovery at low load

UltraST targets high conductivity and enthalpy, low supercooling and stable cycling, with shape-stable leak-resistant design and flame-retardant selected formulations. Metrics apply to the selected formulation, temperature range and product; microcapsules are assessed for their own materials and processes.

  1. 01

    During lower loads, suitable heat dissipation conditions prepare PCM for the next event.

  2. 02

    During a brief power increase, PCM absorbs some heat and buffers device temperature changes.

  3. 03

    Heat leaves through the existing dissipation path. Continuous cooling remains part of the overall thermal design.

Zero-energy battery control in a robot vacuum.
04 / Field case · robot vacuum

Zero-energy battery control in a robot vacuum.

A robot vacuum’s lithium pack charges hard at the dock and discharges hard on the floor — a punishing thermal cycle in a sealed body with no room for active cooling.

Wrapping the cells in PCM rubber holds the pack inside its safe band and evens out the temperature across cells — with no added energy and no moving parts. The result was a markedly longer-lived battery and a longer service life for the machine.
