I just read the article. http://www.cleanfax-digital.com/#&pageSet=10
What Fred Geyen was saying is that a lot of the products don't dry down properly. I happen to agree with him. Some of the so called encapsulation products on the market are not what they claim to be. It's good to see that someone chose to take this to task and write an article on the subject.
If a product does not contain a good polymer that dries down to a brittle crystal-like residue, there will be no vehicle for soil recovery. What's even worse, without a good polymer component, the carpet will attract soil after cleaning. I've been preaching this for over a decade. There will naturally be some differences in the way one product dries compared to another, but having a good polymer component is essential.
My recommendation is to work with encap products that dry down brittle and flake away from the dish. Releasit has been taking pride in it's robust polymer package from the start! It's possible to build a cheaper product with a crappy dry down. As the article pointed out there are some on the market that do that. The polymer is the costliest component. Loading a product with a good encap polymer adds to the cost. But I've never felt it was a place were we should compromise.
Here's a link to an article that I wrote on this about a year ago...

And here is an advertisement that we ran on this topic...
