nextek™ mPCM

Patented mPCM built for the formulation line.

nextek™ delivers high thermal stability across a wide temperature range with a robust melamine capsule wall — an economical, readily dispersible mPCM for coaters, foam pourers, and compounders.

Formulating with nextek™.

nextek™ patented technology provides high thermal stability across a wide range of melt points with a robust capsule wall that survives high-temperature drying, lamination, coating-line shear, and foam and slurry processing.

Supplied as a ~40% solids slurry for wet-line addition, a ~70% solids cake for reduced water load, or a >97% solids powder for dry blending into polymers, gypsum, and compounds. Capsules are readily dispersible and carry low formaldehyde content.

Key benefits.

  • Economical pricing structure at commercial volume
  • Optimal cool-to-the-touch sensation
  • High thermal stability across the full melt-point range
  • Readily dispersible in aqueous and polymer systems
  • Low formaldehyde content
