Definitions

  • the present application relates to particles and compositions, such as consumer products, comprising such particles as well as processes for making and using such particles and compositions comprising such particles.
  • Benefit agents such as perfumes, silicones, waxes, flavors, vitamins and fabric softening agents, are expensive and/or generally less effective when employed at high levels in consumer products, for example, personal care compositions, cleaning compositions, and fabric care compositions. As a result, there is a desire to maximize the effectiveness of such benefit agents.
  • One method of achieving such objective is to improve the delivery efficiencies of such benefit agents.

  • a drop of the particle suspension or finished product is placed onto a glass microscope slide and dried under ambient conditions for several minutes to remove the water and achieve a sparse, single layer of solitary particles on the dry slide. Adjust the concentration of particles in the suspension as needed to achieve a suitable particle density on the slide.
  • the slide is placed on a sample stage of an optical microscope equipped and examined at a total magnification of 100 x or 400 x. Images are captured and calibrated for the accurate measurement of particle diameters. Three replicate slides are prepared and analyzed.
  • At least 50 benefit agent delivery particles on each slide are selected for measurement, in a manner which is unbiased by their size and so creates a representative sample of the distribution of particle sizes present. This may be achieved by examining fields-of-view which are selected at random or according to a pre-defined grid pattern, and by measuring the diameter of all the delivery particles present in each field-of-view examined. Delivery particles which appear obviously non-spherical, deflated, leaking, or damaged are unsuitable for measurement, are excluded from the selection process and their diameters are not recorded. The diameter of each suitable delivery particle examined is measured using the microscope and the value is recorded. The recorded particle diameter measurements are used to calculate the percentage of the particles having a particle size within the claimed size range(s), and also to calculate the mean particle size.
  • the amount of benefit agent leakage from the delivery particles is determined according to the following method:
  • Viscosity of liquid finished product is measured using an AR 550 rheometer / viscometer from TA instruments (New Castle, DE, USA), using parallel steel plates of 40 mm diameter and a gap size of 500 ⁇ m.
  • the high shear viscosity at 20 s -1 and low shear viscosity at 0.05 s -1 is obtained from a logarithmic shear rate sweep from 0.1 s -1 to 25 s -1 in 3 minutes time at 21 °C.
  • the aggregation index in finished product is determined using the following method:
  • Example 1 A particle slurry consisting of 32% by weight aminoplast capsules with a median volume weighted particle size of 18 microns, a surface charge of about -30mV, & a pH of 6.45, is mixed with a formaldehyde scavenger & a structurant.
  • a cationic modified co polymer of poly vinylamine and N-vinyl formamide is added at levels shown in the table below at a temperature of about 55°C.
