Definitions

  • Consumer products such as fabric care products, personal care products and home care products are well known in the art and usually comprise one or more perfumes to impart the consumer product and/or a substrate treated or applied with the consumer product with a fragrance; however, these perfumes dissipate over time from the consumer product or substrate.
  • Another problem with perfumes in consumer products is that they are released prior to an optimal delivery time, and the user of the consumer product is deprived of experiencing the perfume's fragrance.
  • a perfume it is desirable for a perfume to be present on clothes treated with a detergent and/or fabric softener long after such treatment, and there is a tendency for perfumes to evaporate or diffuse from the clothes over time.

(Daylight CIS) Irvine. CA. Methods of calculating Clog P are also known in the art. Perfumes with lower Clog P values may be more volatile and exhibit higher aqueous solubility than perfumes having higher Clog P values, and are therefore preferred to be used in consumer products. However when lower Clog P materials are encapsulated, they may have a greater tendency to leach out of, or diffuse out of the shell into the consumer product (preventing optimal delivery of fragrances), and the perfumes may eventually diffuse out of the consumer product prior to use by the consumer.

  • Cotton terry towels are washed in laundry washing machines with equal amounts of compositions FC#3 and FC#4. Following washing, the towels are stored for 1 week at temperature for 1 week. 3 months at 35°C. and one month at 43°C. Following storage. a panel of 20 judges is asked to rate the intensity of the perfume on the towel, and the intensity of the perfume on the towel after rubbing the towel several times. The results are shown in the chart below. The towels washed in FC#4 with the encapsulated fragrance with the cationic polymer outperformed the towels washed in FC#3 without the encapsulated fragrance.

Abstract

La présente invention concerne l'utilisation d'un polymère cationique permettant une stabilité des microcapsules dans une composition, dans laquelle la microcapsule comprend un matériau d'encapsulation d'enveloppe ayant un ClogP moyen d'au moins 2,5 et plus de 60 % en poids des substances encapsulées ont un ClogP d'au moins 3,3. Le polymère cationique est dérivé de la polymérisation d'environ 5 à 100 moles pour cent d'un monomère d'addition vinylique cationique, de 0 à environ 95 pour cent d'acrylamide, et d'environ 5 à environ 500 ppm d'un agent de réticulation monomère d'addition vinylique bifonctionnel. Le polymère cationique et la substance encapsulée peuvent être utilisés, par exemple, dans une composition d'assouplissant.
