Calyxia NaturaCaps™

Custom microcapsules – Biodegradable, Scalable and EU-compliant for Agriculture

Calyxia NaturaCaps

Delivering performance to your agricultural formulations

Challenge in Agriculture

Today, the agricultural industry faces multiple key challenges: producing sufficient food at fair prices for a growing population while always improving the sustainability of current practices.

Microencapsulation is recognized as an advanced formulation technology that enhances the performance of active ingredients. However, most existing solutions rely on microplastics, which pose significant environmental risks for soils and ecosystems.

Formulation scientists are therefore seeking biodegradable alternatives that deliver the same performance benefits while answering environmental responsibility.

Calyxia’s Solution

Calyxia Naturacaps are custom-designed biodegradable microcapsules, engineered to meet your specifications and to sustainably enhance the performance of your active ingredients.

Our versatile technology enables precise control over microcapsule system—such as shell chemistry, core composition, and active form – and its properties – including particle size distribution, shell thickness and shell porosity — allowing us to design a delivery system tailored to each active.

Key Benefits

With Calyxia Naturacaps, we deliver performance to your Agricultural formulations through:

Tunable controlled release
Volatility reduction
Active protection for improved stability and compatibility
Seamless integration with existing application methods
Enhanced bioefficacy and improved residual activity

Features

Scalable production
Calyxia Naturacaps are designed for industrial Agricultural manufacturing. Our modular production lines support continuous manufacturing, with a sustainable and soft process, respecting your chemistry. This ensures reliable, large-scale supply without compromising product quality.
Strong Intellectual Property
Our technology is backed by over 30+ patent families, providing long-term differentiation and value for your agricultural formulations. Naturacaps are built to support lifecycle management (LCM) and competitive advantage in your product portfolio.
Biodegradability by Design
Naturacaps comply with EU 2023/2055 microplastic regulations and are developed with biodegradability at their core. Our in-house discovery and screening, combined with independent validation by certified laboratories, ensures environmental impact and regulation compliance.
Application-Ready for Agriculture
Our microcapsules are optimized for farmers sprayability, with a controlled particle size (<30 µm) for uniform performance. We provide full microcapsule characterization and internal tests referenced to CIPAC standards to guarantee formulation reliability.

Collaborative Co-Development

At Calyxia, we partner with our clients at every step to bring microcapsule solutions from concept to production. From ideation, we work hand-in-hand to define the project specification, then create lab prototypes under a collaborative agreement. Our clients actively test performance and provide feedback, guiding optimization. Our ability for pilot-scale transfer and production allows to conduct field trials. We then support industrial deployment with ongoing technical assistance, ensuring the final formulation way to market.
