Abstract: A solid, free-flowing composition adapted to deliver fragrance or malodor counteractant in a consumer product that is subjected to actual or potential malodorous influences. The composition comprises a delivery system consisting of a core material surrounded by a fragranced material comprising microdroplets of a dispersed fragrance in a fragrance-encapsulating material, optionally surrounded by a protective coating, and, an external absorbent material in which the fragrance delivery vehicle is dispersed. The composition is effective with respect to animal litters.

Abstract: A method of making a granulated composition that comprises frangible microcapsules containing at least one active ingredient, such as a fragrance, comprising the application of discrete droplets of an aqueous slurry of the microcapsules on to a non-fluidised bed of powdered material, and then drying, the powdered material having a surface tension as defined by an initial contact angle of slurry with powder of at least 40°, which contact angle does not change by more than 10% within the first 3 seconds of application of slurry to powder material. The granulates made by this method are unusually resilient and can withstand rough treatment (for example, during manufacture of products in which they are incorporated), yet can readily release their contents when required. They are also able to be electrically charged.
