CSP Technologies introduces a new class of plastic materials that enables a virtually unlimited number of new products. This enabling technology creates a system of plastic materials that absorbs and/or releases small molecules at a controlled rate. Also, the transport properties of a polymer can be engineering to exhibit specific transmission rates. CSP products are custom engineered with formulations developed to provide solutions to specific product challenges. Some standard products are available. Controlled Interactive Packaging works with any thermoplastic or thermoset material. These new materials can be processed into film, blow molded into bottles, or injection molded into any shape. The CSP business model is to supply fabricated parts utilizing extensive plastic processing expertise at manufacturing plants in the United States and Europe. CSP Technologies has extensively protected their new Controlled Interactive Packaging by filling numerous composition of matter patents augmented by process claims. In addition, dozens of specific application patents have also been filed.

CSP's new technology is a major breakthrough in material science that creates microscopic interconnected transmitting pathways within a polymer. These solid pathways allow the controlled transport of a wide variety of small molecules, thus enabling a myriad of applications for absorbing and releasing chemically active substances. The results are custom designed plastic materials that respond to external stimuli in a reliable, preprogrammed fashion, creating the desired, controlled, packaged environment; or, a new or improved product. CSP's proprietary technology relates to a polymer blend having a co-continuous interconnecting morphology. The composition is composed of at least three components: (A) a polymer (e.g. thermoplastic or thermoset) that makes up the majority of the composition; (B) a minor polymer (e.g. a hydrophilic or hydrophobic material) that is immiscible in the majority polymer; and, (C) a particle (e.g. active agent) that resides in minor polymer. These interconnecting pathways permit gases or vapors to be absorbed into or released from the particles located with the polymer blend. The advantage of this technology is that the composition can be "engineered" to meet the needs of the end-use application. No other science or technology can engineer a container, package, or plastic component that will maintain a specific relative humidity, absorb gases, vapors, or odors; and/or release active substances such as gases and aromas, nutrients, or other ingredients in such a controlled manner, while offering 100% utilization of all active particles. More than one interactive function can be incorporated into a polymer blend. Electronic Housing A Polymer Liner that Absorbs Moisture |

CSP engineers the polymers to control small molecule transport through the materials. The underlying proprietary enabling technology allows for the creation of a microscopic co-continuous interconnecting channel morphology throughout a solid polymer structure. These channels provide pathways that facilitate migration of substances through the polymer, thus enabling a host of exciting new applications, including: Polymers which preferentially absorb, scavenge or emit desired small molecules (e.g. Moisture, CO2, O2) Materials which facilitate or retard the transport of one or more substances Polymers with novel electric or ionic transport properties. In a revolutionary new technological breakthrough, desiccants can now be integrated directly into plastics and molded or shaped into any product form with variable adsorption rates and capacities.
