Technology background
Harmful substances to the body, as parabens, dioxins and furans, They can be found in products for feminine hygiene. To minimize possible negative health effects, based on natural materials compositions with proven safety have been proposed in cosmetics and hygiene products. Some components of plant origin such as butters, they are lipophilic, meaning, They have high chemical affinity for fat and does not readily associate with water; nanotechnology is presented as an alternative for the placement of these substances in aqueous media.
Technology description
Production of a nanoparticle composition containing plant for use in multi-use products for feminine hygiene, as liquid soaps and absorbent coverings.
Problem Fixed
The developed formulation minimizes potential negative health effects.
Advantages
The developed formulation can be considered an intermediate input which can be used in different end forms and it is obtained a substance isolated from vegetable products. Production technique allows scheduling.
Applications
– Pharmaceutical industry;
– Dermatological products;
– Footwear industry;

good night!
I am a student of UNA management course. This semester we are attending the course of INNOVATION MANAGEMENT, our teacher Igor Dias encouraged us to search for jobs “TECHNOLOGY SHOWCASES” and understanding of the process embodiment design attempts, difficulties etc.…
My group and I would like to know what are the difficulties and what is the biggest barrier you have that makes implementation and integration of the idea in the market. Can you answer?
good night!
My name is Luiza, I'm studying administration in 3 period in the University Center UNA (Belo Horizonte). My teacher Igor Augusto de Melo Days, Innovation management discipline, He proposed the following activity:
Search on the exposed technologies in technological showcase and choose one or more of interest to the group to seek information relevant to our matter. Could help us by answering the following questions, please?
What is the main difficulty you found in developing?
What led the group to develop the new formula?
You have a date for when they will launch?
You had to change the design ever? For what reason?
You believe you will find it difficult to implement the new formula on the market? If so, which?
Thank you very much in advance!
Best regards,
Luiza Alvarenga
