Positioning Canadian Innovation on a Global Stage using Ceapro’s Disruptive PGX Platform Technology
FY 2019-20 · 2019-07-16
Summary
The Pressurized Gas eXpanded (PGX) Technology is a patented platform technology for the generation of fine-structured, open-porous, water-soluble biopolymer carriers for tailor-made bioactive or drug delivery systems. Ceapro will further develop the patented PGX Technology by upgrading the PGX Demonstration Plant and by scaling up the Ceapro impregnation technology to the demonstration scale to generate novel “impregnated Polymer compleX” (iPX) for use as delivery systems. By conducting studies on the iPX generated and modeling processing and equipment costs, Ceapro will continue to progressively deploy the PGX Technology to generate innovative products into the functional food, cosmetic and drug delivery markets.

Description (French)
La technologie PGX (Pressurized Gas eXpanded) est une technologie de plate-forme brevetée pour la génération de supports biopolymères à structure fine, poreux, ouverts et solubles dans l'eau pour des systèmes de libération de bioactifs ou de médicaments sur mesure. Ceapro poursuivra le développement de la technologie PGX brevetée en modernisant l'usine de démonstration PGX et en adaptant la technologie d'imprégnation Ceapro à l'échelle de démonstration afin de générer un nouveau complexe polymère imprégné « impregnated Polymer compleX (iPX) » à utiliser comme système de distribution. En menant des études sur l'iPX généré et en modélisant les coûts de traitement et d'équipement, Ceapro continuera à déployer progressivement la technologie PGX pour générer des produits innovants dans les marchés des aliments fonctionnels, des cosmétiques et des médicaments.
