Calyxia: precision microencapsulation for industrial coatings and adhesives
Calyxia is a Paris-based technology company specialising in advanced microencapsulation. Founded in 2015, the company develops proprietary capsule systems that protect and release active ingredients with precision. Their solutions are designed to improve product performance, reduce waste and support compliance with evolving regulatory standards. Through our partnership, IMCD offers Calyxia’s Catalyx™ range of microencapsulated epoxy accelerators and curing agents to customers in the industrial coatings and adhesives sectors.
Innovating with intent: Calyxia’s mission to improve material performance
Calyxia was founded by scientists from Harvard, Cambridge and ESPCI Paris with a shared goal: to rethink how functional ingredients are delivered in industrial processes. Their mission is to replace conventional microplastics and improve the safety and efficiency of chemical formulations. Calyxia’s values centre on scientific innovation, customisation and measurable impact. Their reputation is built on delivering high-performance solutions that meet the demands of modern manufacturing.
Catalyx™ product range: Accelerators and epoxy curing agents
Calyxia’s Catalyx™ range includes encapsulated epoxy accelerators designed for adhesives and coatings. They offer ambient-stable latency and rapid curing on demand. By encapsulating accelerators in heat-activated microcapsules, these curing agents extend pot life, reduce curing temperatures and eliminate the need for cold chain storage - without compromising mechanical properties. This enables adhesives and industrial coatings manufacturers to optimise production efficiency without compromising material quality.
Applications of Catalyx™ accelerators and epoxy curing agents in adhesives and coatings
Catalyx™ accelerators are suitable for use in:
- 1K and 2K epoxy adhesives for transportation, construction and general assembly
- Industrial coatings including powder coatings, metal coatings and automotive applications
These products are ideal for structural bonding, foam adhesives and protective coatings where reliability and performance are critical. Catalyx™ supports process control, reduces curing temperatures and eliminates the need for refrigerated storage.
