Welcome to the Exilica website for advanced technology micro spheres, hollow silica shells, and unique molecular delivery systems.

The company’s mission is to be a world leader in the provision of innovative micro / nano formulations based on the bead / shell technology for commercial solutions.

We are committed to customer satisfaction and product quality.

	Storage and controlled release media		Anti-fungal / anti-algal treatment
	Slow release media		Controlled release of fertilizers
	Encapsulated fluorecent markers		Chemical reaction containment media
	Encapsulated fragrances and flavours		Biological / catalysis support media
	Encapsulated UV absorbents		Separation / filtration media
	Functional fillers / polymer additives		Drug delivery
	Encapsulated dyes, pigments and colour change sensors		Cosmetics and healthcare products

Our spherical micrometer sized polymer particles (called µ-Sq beads) act like micro sponges and absorb molecules while the sub-micrometer sized Hollow silica shells have an internal void space and act much like a standard container. Both the beads and shells are very robust and can survive harsh temperatures / pressures and chemical conditions.

We're continually becoming aware of new commercial sectors where our technology could make a difference. We always welcome new ideas and new uses for our technology and we'd be very happy to hear from you if what we have is of interest.

have an "active" compound / additive that you cannot directly add to a carrier / host system.
want to contain and / or control the release of an "active" compound into a carrier / host system.
want a delivery system that is robust and can handle agressive formulation processes.

Exilica makes fragranced polymers

Exilica has been awarded an Advantage Proof of Concept Grant to produce and evaluate prototype fragrance loaded thermopolymer composites. Using primarily Exilica's µ-Sq beads, thermoplastics including;
polypropylene
polyester
nylon-6
polymethylmethacrylate
ABS
are being loaded with natural fragrances, such as lavender oil and eucalyptus oil.

If you would like a sample of one of the thermoplastics listed above loaded with a fragrance, to evaluate for yourself, then please feel free to contact us.

We are also doing the same with organic anti-bacterial agents.

Exilica congratulate Dr Brian More for winning a Lord Stafford Award 2009 for Knowledge Transfer Champion.

Thanks for all the help you have given us Brian, you deserve it.
