Encapsulation is absolutely critical for all water based phase change materials, i.e sub-zero eutectic and salt hydrate based PCMs. If these materials are exposed to the atmosphere, the water content of the PCM changes, either by evaporation or, in some cases, absorption. Because the ratio of water to salts is precisely defined for each PCM, any change in this ratio results in loss of performance and ultimately complete failure of the PCM. We offer a number of different encapsulation techniques depending on the properties of the PCM and the operational requirements.
