Abstract: The invention relates to a process for the manufacture of core-shell perfume particles by emulsion polymerisation and to the products obtainable by such a process. The core of the particles comprises a perfume and the shell (which preferably comprises an aminoplast polymer) also comprises a non-ionic deposition aid (such as locust bean gum) which is substantive to textiles. The process of the invention is characterised in that, during the emulsion polymerisation step, the solids content of the polymerisation mixture does not fall below 25% wt. The particles obtained by the process are suitable for inclusion in laundry products and show significantly improved deposition and retention onto fabrics being laundered as compared with particles formed at lower solids levels.

Abstract: Polymer particles comprising a perfume are delivered to fabric during laundering and give long lasting adherence of the perfume to fabric during laundering. The particle comprises a polymer and is prepared using miniemulsion polymerisation. A method of depositing a perfume onto a substrate by means of such a composition is also disclosed.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to a polysaccharide-grafted polymer particle containing a lubricant wherein the polysaccharide is preferably a ?-1,4 linked polysaccharide.

Abstract: A composition comprising a silicone having a viscosity modifying agent dissolved or dispersed therein and a deposition aid, wherein the deposition aid comprises a polymeric material comprising one or more moieties for enhancing affinity for a fabric, especially cotton or a cotton-containing fabric and one or more silicone moieties.

Abstract: A laundry treatment composition comprising at least one polymeric material comprising a cationic polymer moiety and a polydialkylsiloxane moiety, and at least one other component.

Abstract: A composition comprising a silicone and a substituted polysaccharide comprising ?1-4 linkages having covalently bonded on the polysaccharide moiety thereof, at least one deposition enhancing group which undergoes a chemical change in water at a use temperature to increase the affinity of the substituted polysaccharide to a substrate, the substituted polysaccharide further comprising one or more independently selected silicone chains.
