Tagra removes the limits for high-performance materials.
The most effective material chemistries are the hardest to work with — reactive systems that won’t keep, processes that demand high heat and energy, and performance additives now restricted on environmental grounds. Tagra’s encapsulation holds the reactive component stable and inert until the moment of cure or wear, then releases it precisely where it’s needed.
Adhesives
& Sealants
Current adhesive systems lack stability at ambient temperature, require complex formulation, and often contain toxic solvents. Manufacturers need 1-component systems that maintain shelf-life while offering superior bond strength.
Tagra’s platform enables encapsulation of reactive components, allowing 1-component ambient-stable adhesive systems with extended shelf-life. Our microencapsulation technology controls release timing, eliminating the need for toxic solvents while maintaining performance.
Composites
Prepregs (pre-impregnated fibers) face severe shelf-life limitations — days to weeks — and require energy-intensive, high-temperature processing. This creates supply-chain bottlenecks and raises manufacturing costs for aerospace and automotive.
Tagra’s encapsulation extends prepreg shelf-life by months while lowering processing temperatures. Release-on-Demand™ activates resin systems at reduced temperatures, cutting energy use and enabling more flexible manufacturing.
Plastics
& Elastomers
Traditional lubricants and processing aids rely on PFAS — increasingly regulated and environmentally persistent. Manufacturers need sustainable alternatives that don’t sacrifice processability.
Tagra’s platform delivers sustainable, PFAS-free encapsulated processing aids with superior lubrication and flow. Performance is maintained while meeting strict environmental and regulatory requirements.
Leather
& Textiles
Sustainable surface treatments and functional finishes are limited. Current solutions depend on heavy metals or chemically complex formulations that harm workers and the environment, while offering limited durability.
Tagra’s technology enables eco-friendly encapsulated finishes with superior durability, water resistance, and functional properties such as antimicrobial and UV protection. Sustained release extends treatment lifespan while eliminating harmful chemicals.
Advanced
Coating
Protective coatings struggle to combine durability, self-healing, and multi-functionality. Current formulations can’t reliably deliver corrosion resistance, UV protection, and antimicrobial activity at once without sacrificing aesthetics or adding complexity.
Tagra’s platforms enable multi-functional, self-healing encapsulated coatings. Release-on-Demand™ delivers corrosion inhibitors, UV absorbers, and antimicrobial agents precisely when needed, extending coating lifespan and performance.
