A polymeric encapsulated fragrance is disclosed which is suitable for use in personal care and cleaning products. In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the fragrance is encapsulated by a first polymer material to form a fragrance encapsulated polymer, the polymer encapsulated shell is then coated with a mixture of cationic polymers, in a preferred embodiment the coating polymers are a reaction product of polyamines (including 1H-imidazole) and (chloromethyl) oxirane or (bromomethyl) oxiran...

A process for stabilising particulate alkali metal percarbonate involves coating it with an aqueous solution, preferably concentrated, of a non-reducing oligomeric saccharide, preferably sucrose and especially together with an inorganic salt co-coating agent. The preferred co-coating agents are alkali metal silicate, sulphate, carbonate and carbonate chloride. Coated percarbonate is provided having an excellent combination of solubility, and stability, even with low amounts of coating agent.

The articles, compositions, and kits of the present invention are useful for conditioning fabric.

The present invention relates to a solid particulate fabric-treatment composition comprising: (a) a first perfume component comprising a pro-perfume compound that is the product of a reaction between an amino-functional compound comprising at least one primary and/or secondary amine group and an amine-reactive perfume molecule comprising a ketone and/or an aldehyde functionality; and (b) a second perfume component comprising: (i) at least 30% by weight of the second perfume component of volatile...

Capsules for protecting a benefit ingredient and/or a colorant usefull in detergent or personal care compositions. The benefit agent and/or colorant within the capsule is surrounded by a continuous phase based on a mixture of thermoplastic-type co-polymer and hydrocarbon oil. The continuous phase is preferably transparent. Detergent and personal care compositions containing the capsules are also described.

The present invention relates to a perfumed detergent tablet, the tablet comprising a clay mineral compound, and the perfume comprising less than 0.6% of Schiff-base by weight of the perfume composition.

The invention concerns water dispersible granulates comprising at least a hydrophobic organic active substance (MA) solid or with melting point less than 100.degree. C., in the form of particles, finely divided inside and encapsulated by a solid matrix and a water soluble or water dispersible polypeptide (PP) synthetic or of plant origin and at least an ionic or amphoteric dispersing agent (D) at the active substance/matrix interface. The invention also concerns the method for preparing said gra...

A method of treating fabric comprising the step of applying to the fabric a fabric treatment composition comprising a coated particles comprising: a solid core having a D3,2 average particle size in the range from 10 to 700 nm, and a coating of silicone polymer covalently bonded to the solid core.

Coated solid bodies comprising a core of an active composition and having a water-soluble or dispersible micro-porous or net-coating. The coating improves the mechanical characteristics of the solid body and allows for good dissolution. The coated solid bodies preferably take the form of detergent tablets.

A process for preparing a detergent composition is provided. The process involves: (a) continuously mixing a detergent surfactant paste and dry starting detergent material into a high speed mixer/densifier to obtain detergent agglomerates, wherein the ratio of the surfactant paste to the dry detergent material is from about 1:10 to about 10:1; and (b) mixing the detergent agglomerates in a moderate speed mixer/densifier to further densify and agglomerate the detergent agglomerates. The dry deter...
