- the gels are prepared from a polymer having a hydroxy (lower alkoxy) 2-alkeneoate, a hydroxy (lower alkoxy) lower alkyl 2-alkeneoate, or a hydroxy poly (lower alkoxy)lower alkyl 2-alkeneoate and a polyethylenically unsaturated crosslinking agent. These materials have continuous slow release properties, i.e. they release the fragrance component continuously over a long period of time.
- the present invention is illustrated by the following non-limiting example.
- methyl salicylate 33g, 0.22 mol
- 2-methanol-thiophene 25g, 0.22 mol
