Technical Details & Test Data
- Technical Information
The encapsulation is formed by a “polymeric micelle”. Polymeric micelle technology utilizes amphiphilic polymers to form micelles that encapsulate the active. Below is the schematic of the encapsulation:
- Compatibility
- Incompatible with iron oxides, titanium dioxide, zinc oxide
- Alkaline and oxidizing agents may cause discoloration
Storage & Handling
- Storage & Handling
BioGenic EGCG-200 can be stored in cool conditions (4°C - 11°C) in an appropriate container, tightly sealed.
