The Abalone Breakthrough:
How We Mastered Self-Assembly
Nature is the ultimate manufacturer. In the ocean, abalone shells build themselves layer by layer with flawless, molecular precision. Led by the visionary Dr. Gary Beall, our premier team of PhD material scientists at Texas State University cracked that code—bringing nature’s own self-ordering genius out of the water and into the industrial world.
While traditional protective coatings rely on clunky, exhaustive
30-to-50-step layering processes, Nabaco’s patented technology renders multi-step manufacturing obsolete. By harnessing the power of automated self-assembly, our barriers achieve superior, multi-functional protection in just a single step.
The result? A sophisticated, ultra-thin, temporary barrier that scales effortlessly across diverse industry verticals—shielding your products with maximum performance and massive operational savings.
Precision Protection:
From Bloom to Basket
Our dual-tier system utilizes biomimetic science to safeguard produce throughout its entire lifecycle, ensuring peak quality from the moment it grows until it reaches the consumer.
NatuWrap
Applied during the packing stage, NatuWrap® functions as a sophisticated processing aid that regulates gas exchange. It creates a dynamic, breathable barrier that significantly slows respiration and delays senescence. By integrating seamlessly into your existing workflow, it maintains "just-picked" texture and flavor throughout the complexities of packhorse and storage logistics.
Envello
Envello serves as a molecular "second skin" applied directly in the field. By leveraging nature’s self-ordering principles, it provides a proactive shield against environmental stressors during the most vulnerable growth stages. This high-performance barrier regulates moisture and fortifies the fruit, ensuring it arrives at the packing house with its structural integrity and nutrient profile fully intact..
How it works
Our barrier technology operates as a select-permeable lattice that functions as a controlled respiration interface. By utilizing a patented, self-assembling molecular structure, the barrier actively deflects oxygen and other gasses. This sophisticated scaffolding regulates the fruit's internal atmosphere, slowing the natural gas exchange process to stabilize the produce's physiology.

Vanterra
Vanterra bridges the gap between plastic and paper by providing a patented, self-assembling barrier for the circular economy. Using a proprietary "scaffolding" of purified clay and polymer, it creates an ultra-thin, flexible coating that maintains total integrity even when folded. This PFAS-free technology is engineered for high-humidity resilience and 98.85% fiber recovery, allowing brands to achieve monomaterial status.
