Patent number: 6927195Abstract: Particles suitable for inclusion in a dry product or article, typically a laundry powder, comprise a core of swellable material, e.g. an organic polymer, containing perfume absorbed therein, the core being coated with water-soluble encapsulating material impervious to the perfume. The coating of the particles acts to prevent premature evaporation or dissipation from the particles of the loaded perfume until the coating is dissolved on contact with water in use.Type: GrantFiled: July 27, 2001Date of Patent: August 9, 2005Assignee: Quest International Services B.V.Inventors: Richard Arthur Birch, Joseph Brain, Jeremy Nicholas Ness

Publication number: 20040253200Abstract: The present invention relates to a method of preventing and/or reducing malodours in an environment, comprising use of an encapsulated perfume, the perfume being encapsulated in capsules comprising perfume in an amount greater than 4% by weight of capsule, and an anionic gum, the method comprising the step of placing the capsules in gaseous contact with the environment, such that perfume released from the capsules prevents and/or reduces malodour in the environment. The capsules typically demonstrate efficient and consistent perfume release over an extended period of time e.g. up to about 85 days and conveniently provide a visual indication of expiration by a change in colour an size during use until a defined end point, when capsule life is exhausted. Also disclosed is a capsule including an emulsifying agent selected from non-ionic surfactants and/or anionic surfactants.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 9, 2004Publication date: December 16, 2004Inventors: Hifzur Rahman Ansari, Janet Gloria Finnerty, Marcus James Goodall, Jeremy Nicholas Ness, Berbara Helen Potts

Patent number: 6194375Abstract: Perfume is absorbed within organic polymer particles which have a further polymer at their exterior. The further polymer incorporates free hydroxyl groups and serves to promote deposition of the particles from a wash or rinse liquor. The further polymer may be part of an encapsulating shell, but more conveniently is used as a stabilizer during polymerization of the particles. Highly hydrolyzed polyvinyl alcohol is preferred.Type: GrantFiled: December 23, 1997Date of Patent: February 27, 2001Assignee: Quest International B.V.Inventors: Jeremy Nicholas Ness, Pamela Virginia Irving, Marcus James Goodall

Patent number: 6024943Abstract: Perfume is absorbed within organic polymer particles which have a further polymer at their exterior. The further polymer incorporates free hydroxyl groups and serves to promote deposition of the particles from a wash or rinse liquor. The further polymer may be part of an encapsulating shell, but more conveniently is used as a stabiliser during polymerisation of the particles.
