  • FRESHENING COMPOSITIONS AND METHODS OF ATOMIZING FRESHENING COMPOSITIONS WITH A THERMALLY-ACTUATED MICROFLUIDIC CARTRIDGE
    Publication number: 20210016307
    Abstract: A freshening composition and method of jetting a freshening composition from a microfluidic device are provided. The composition includes greater than 5 wt. % of solubilizing materials that are liquid at 20° C. Each of the solubilizing materials have a Hansen polarity parameter (?p) of greater than 5 MPa0.5; a Hansen hydrogen-bonding parameter (?h) of greater than 9 MPa0.5; and a vapor pressure of less than 267 Pa. The method includes heating the freshening composition with a thermal actuator and atomizing the heated composition from a nozzle in a direction that is from 0 degrees to 90 degrees from the direction of gravitational force.
