Core offering

Nanomik Biotechnology manufactures and sells bio-based crop protection, animal health, food preservation, and construction additive products built on its proprietary Microsome microencapsulation technology. The portfolio includes bio-fungicides, bio-insecticides, a Varroa mite control product for beekeepers, fruit and vegetable cleansers for professional and home use, and plant-based microcapsule additives for construction materials. All products are formulated with botanical active ingredients delivered via controlled-release bio-polymer encapsulation.

Product overview

Nanomik Biotechnology develops bio-based agricultural protection and food preservation solutions centered on their proprietary Microsome microencapsulation technology. The product portfolio spans four main categories: Crop Health solutions including bio-fungicides (Methy ME, Methy CS, BioExtend, Mikoks CS) and bio-insecticides (Azatom ME, NAN101I ME, NAN102I CS); Animal Health with VARRO-EX for honeybee Varroa mite control; Food Preservation products (BioFlux and BioFlux Home) for professional and home fruit/vegetable cleansing; and Construction Additives featuring Mikoshield for mold prevention. All products leverage botanical molecules and natural antimicrobial properties delivered through their patented microencapsulation platform.
