Abstract: The present invention relates to a process for the preparation of biodegradable polyurea/polyurethane microcapsules, preferably perfume-containing polyurea/polyurethane microcapsules, which have a balance of biodegradability, stability and performance compared to prior art microcapsules. In addition, the present invention relates to biodegradable polyurea/polyurethane microcapsules comprising at least one lipophilic active ingredient obtainable by the process of the invention. In another aspect, the invention described herein relates to the use of such microcapsules or microcapsule dispersions comprising the microcapsules according to the invention for the manufacture of household products, textile care products, detergents, fabric softeners, cleaning agents, scent boosters, scent lotion or scent enhancers, cosmetics, personal care products, agricultural products or pharmaceutical products.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a process for the preparation of biodegradable microcapsules, in particular biodegradable protein- and/or polysaccharide-based microcapsules, as well as dispersions of such microcapsules (microcapsule slurry) that enclose at least one hydrophobic active ingredient. In addition, the present invention relates to biodegradable microcapsules obtainable by the process according to the invention. In another aspect, the present invention relates to the use of the microcapsules and dispersions as an ingredient in consumer products.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a process for the preparation of polyurea/polyurethane microcapsules enclosing at least one lipophilic active ingredient, preferably perfume- or aroma-containing polyurea/polyurethane microcapsules, which can be carried out independently of pH compared to the processes for the preparation of polyurea/polyurethane microcapsules of the prior art. In addition, the present invention relates to polyurea/polyurethane microcapsules obtainable by the process of the invention. In another aspect, the invention described herein relates to the use of such microcapsules or microcapsule dispersions for the manufacture of household products, textile care products, detergents, fabric softeners, cleaning products, scent boosters, scent lotions and fragrance enhancers, cosmetics, personal care products, agricultural products, pharmaceutical products, print coatings for paper and the like.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a process for preparing biodegradable polyurea/polyurethane microcapsules, preferably perfume-containing polyurea/polyurethane microcapsules, which have improved biodegradability compared to prior art microcapsules. In addition, the present invention relates to biodegradable polyurea/polyurethane microcapsules comprising at least one lipophilic active ingredient obtainable by the process according to the invention. In another aspect, the invention described herein relates to the use of such microcapsules or microcapsule dispersions comprising the microcapsules according to the invention for the manufacture of household products, textile care products, detergents, fabric softeners, cleaning agents, scent boosters, scent lotions or scent enhancers, cosmetics, personal care products, agricultural products, pharmaceutical products or printing coatings for paper.
