Microencapsulation was invented in the 1950's by National Cash Register in Dayton, Ohio for the carbonless copy paper industry. From there the uses for the technology seemed almost endless and a wide variety of industries began to utilize different shell materials, internal phases and techniques to manufacture microcapsules for their specific end use. Lipo Technologies Inc. was incorporated in 1990 and we are a privately held company. Before we became Lipo Technologies we were Djinni Industries, whose claim to fame was encapsulated liquid crystal for mood rings and thermometers. Once we became Lipo we expanded our technology platforms and our customer base. At LTI we consider our true advantage our versatility. We think of ourselves as a solution provider and we come to you with our "toolbox" to help you solve your toughest production dilemmas. Please visit our website to get a brief overview of just some of the technologies we utilize and contact us to discuss your project in further detail.

TransluScent


TransluScent is the newest method of advertising fragrances. It answers the call for an application of a fragranced product on conventional ink, varnish or aqueous coating application units. This product has great capabilities, as it can be printed directly over oil or water-based inks. The fragrance varnish, when scratched or rubbed, emits fragrance. Fragrance varnish does not require any specialized finishing equipment. This allows more printers the opportunity to produce fragrance promotions.

TransluScent Properties and Applications
* Can be water- or solvent-based
* Microencapsulated fragrance oils incorporated into conventional varnishes and coatings
* Supplied to printers:
o In press-ready form
o As powder, to be mixed into printer's binder system
* Applied as varnish, after ink application, but before drying ovens
* Application methods include:
o Flexo
o Offset web
o Sheet fed
o Gravure

*Please contact our technical service group for further advice on using fragrance promotion sampling products. Specific press recommendations are available for each product.
