N3cure

What N3cure does

N3Cure is an Israeli industrial materials company founded in 2019 and headquartered at the Caesarea Industrial Park. It develops the CROSSITOL UV Crosslinking System, a platform that combines a patented proprietary additive with a UV energy source to drive a controlled crosslinking reaction in polyethylene films. The system is sold to plastic film manufacturers and is engineered to deliver crosslinked PE films with up to 75% lower gel content than incumbent electron-beam crosslinking, with selective, depth-controlled crosslinking that supports downgauging and the production of mono-material PE packaging structures.

The CROSSITOL platform addresses two structural shifts in the flexible packaging industry: the need to downgauge films without sacrificing mechanical performance, and the regulatory and brand-owner-driven push (notably the EU's Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation) toward fully recyclable mono-material packaging as a substitute for multi-layer laminates. Beyond the base crosslinking system, N3Cure has extended the technology into vertical-specific application kits, including a kit for shrink bags and films used in protein packaging built on mono-PE structures.

N3Cure is privately held and founder-owned, with no publicly disclosed outside funding rounds. It operates a direct enterprise sales model, selling both the additive chemistry and the UV equipment to leading global plastic film manufacturers through a field-led, consultative go-to-market motion. The senior team is small (approximately six visible leaders), mixing founders (Danny Segev, Eran Leviteh, Sagi Moran) with hired executives (CEO Yair Gellis, VP R&D Eran Keizman, R&D Manager Ofir Tal) and a senior advisor (Shai Garty). Revenue mechanics combine one-time equipment sales with what is positioned as a recurring additive consumable stream, though unit volumes, pricing, and customer counts are not disclosed.

Core offering

N3cure develops and sells the patented CROSSITOL UV Crosslinking System for plastic film manufacturers, comprising a proprietary chemical additive and an inline UV energy source device. When the additive is exposed to the inline UV energy source during extrusion, it creates a controlled crosslinking reaction in polyethylene films, enabling downgauging, enhanced mechanical and thermal properties, and conversion of multi-material films into recyclable mono-PE structures compliant with EU PPWR regulations.

Product overview

N3Cure offers the CROSSITOL UV Crosslinking System as its core product, comprising a patented additive and an inline UV energy source that together enable controlled crosslinking of plastic films. This technology platform allows plastic manufacturers to downgauge material thickness while maintaining or enhancing mechanical and thermal properties, and facilitates conversion from multi-material structures to recyclable mono-polymer (mono-PE) formats. The UV energy source is the hardware add-on component that activates the additive during production.
