ULTRA-MICROCELLULAR ARCHITECTURE
A porous body suitable for multiple heating technologies.
The substrate is formed as a controlled open-cell honeycomb rather than a compressed mass. That structure supports even heat penetration, a shorter production route and a platform that can be tuned to different stick formats.
- 01Uniform heat conduction
The porous structure is designed to distribute heat through the body rather than concentrate it at a single interface.
- 02Consistent aerosol delivery
Open-cell geometry supports repeatable airflow and aerosol release across a production batch.
- 03Lean production logic
The forming route is engineered for continuous output, lower process complexity and efficient scale-up.
HEATING ECOSYSTEMS
The same product platform can be adapted to resistive, electromagnetic, circumferential, air and infrared heating systems.

- 02ElectromagneticInduction susceptor systems
- 03CircumferentialExternal heating profiles
- 04AirHot-air pathways
- 05InfraredRadiant heating systems
ELECTROMAGNETIC INDUCTION
A defined route for induction platforms.
We can supply samples matched to mainstream induction-heating devices. The tested sample recognition rate is 99%, and every stick and device pair is validated before commercial approval. Patent scope and FTO status are reviewed separately for the supplied configuration.
- Configuration-specific patent review
- Matched stick and device support
- Recognition validated before quotation
Sample recognition99%
Recognition results are specific to the tested device generation, stick format and operating condition. Some induction-compatible products on the market carry infringement exposure or lower recognition; those risks are not acceptable as a basis for a commercial programme.
UPGRADED BASE MATERIAL
Clean aroma. No earthy notes.
Earlier HNB herbal sticks using tea-leaf components could develop an earthy odour. Our upgraded base material removes that off-note and produces a cleaner substrate for flavour expression.
What the product delivers is a comfortable fruit aroma with a sweet, cool finish—not a masking note over a heavy base.
- Clean and odour-free base
- Fruit-forward aroma release
- Sweet, cooling finish

PATENT POSITION
Patent barriers are part of the product definition.
Our group holds multiple core patents and has completed FTO review for its technology route. Every final product configuration and destination market is still reviewed separately before commercial supply.
- Multiple core patents
- FTO-reviewed technology route
- International market supply
Patent-backed architecture
Develop the substrate, stick structure and manufacturing route against a mapped patent landscape.
Project-specific FTO
Freedom-to-operate review is tied to final materials, architecture and the destination market.
Evidence package review
Technical and market-access documents are checked for the selected product and jurisdiction.
Coverage shown reflects public patent documents and may not reflect current legal status. A patent or application does not by itself establish freedom to operate. FTO and market-access scope are assessed separately for each final product configuration and jurisdiction.

자주 묻는 질문
브리프를 보내기 전에.
01What kinds of HNB projects can Unicco Tech support?
We support business projects involving heat-not-burn sticks, heating device systems, flavours, materials, components and packaging. The exact scope is defined after reviewing your product format, destination market and commercial requirements.
02Can flavours and packaging be customised?
Flavour, appearance and packaging can be developed around a defined brief. Feasibility depends on the product architecture, target experience, material availability and the requirements of the destination market.
03Do you provide both sticks and devices?
Projects can combine consumables and device systems, or focus on one category. Matching the interfaces between stick, device and accessories is part of the project review.
04How does a sample project begin?
Send your company details, product format, destination market, target positioning and estimated volume. We use that information to recommend a sample direction and the information required for the next step.
05Can you confirm market access or certifications before a project?
Market-access requirements depend on the product, ingredients, destination and current regulations. Project-specific documentation can be discussed after those details are defined. Final market authorisation and legal compliance remain subject to the applicable jurisdiction.
06Is Unicco Tech a consumer store?
No. This is a business-to-business company and project website. It does not provide consumer checkout or individual retail sales.
