Microgranulés

Microgranulés, also known as micro-pellets or micro-beads, are tiny solid particles typically ranging in size from a few micrometers to a few millimeters. They are manufactured through various processes, including extrusion, spheronization, or spray drying, depending on the intended application and material composition. These small, uniform particles are designed to deliver specific properties or functionalities.

In agriculture, microgranulés are often used as carriers for fertilizers, pesticides, or herbicides. Their controlled release properties can ensure a more efficient and targeted delivery of active ingredients, reducing waste and environmental impact. They can also improve handling and application compared to powders.

The pharmaceutical industry utilizes microgranulés for the formulation of medications. They can encapsulate active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) to control their release rate within the body, improving therapeutic efficacy and reducing side effects. This allows for sustained release or targeted delivery to specific organs.

Beyond these fields, microgranulés find applications in the cosmetics industry as exfoliants or decorative elements. In materials science, they can be incorporated into polymers or composites to modify their physical or mechanical properties. The specific composition and manufacturing method of microgranulés are tailored to meet the demands of each unique application, making them a versatile form of particulate matter.
