Airgun Designs The Paintball
|
Paintballs are not made of paint. They are
soft gelatin capsules (the same gelatin as in jelly) containing
a mixture of vegetable oil and food colour. They are nontoxic
and biodegradable. |
|
Paintballs are encapsulated by the same machines
that make bath beads and vitamin capsules. R.P. Scherer, the world's
largest encapsulation company, was the first company to produce
paintballs. |
|
|
Today R.P. Scherer has facilities in North
America and Europe dedicated to manufacturing paintballs. 1.5
billion paintballs are produced per year in Asia, Europe and North
America. Paintballs are produced in a rainbow of colours.
