    HeiQ turns biological processes into scalable chemistries for everyday products. These formulations act during use, for example breaking down odours on surfaces, keeping fabrics fresher, or improving how ingredients spread and stay active. They combine biology, chemistry, and material science to build delivery systems such as encapsulation, where ingredients release over time or under use conditions. 

    The result is consistent performance in real products across home care, textiles, and other applications.
