Description

The enclosure of a material within an isolating barrier. The barrier is often a plastic in the form of a film, envelope, transparent resin or foam. Encapsulation may provide protection for an object during handling or shipping. It may also be done temporarily or permanently to produce a controlled environment, such as an oxygen free air used to kill insects and to minimize oxidation and biological deterioration.
