Publication number: 20080118568Abstract: The present invention relates to benefit agent containing delivery particles, compositions comprising said particles, and processes for making and using the aforementioned particles and compositions. When employed in compositions, for example, compositions for cleaning, fabric care, or coating onto various substrates, textiles or surfaces, such particles increase the efficiency of benefit agent delivery, thereby allowing reduced amounts of benefit agents to be employed. In addition to allowing the amount of benefit agent to be reduced, such particles allow a broad range of benefit agents to be employed.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 20, 2007Publication date: May 22, 2008Inventors: Johan Smets, Peggy Dorothy Sands, Sandra Jacqueline Guinebretiere, An Pintens, Jiten Odhavij Dihora

Patent number: 7371717Abstract: A process for preparing coated particulate alkali metal percarbonate in which coating is carried out by mixing percarbonate with a solid particulate coating and agent and optionally with an aqueous liquid, so that the amount of water present during mixing does not exceed 12% of the total weight of the mixture. Coated alkali metal percarbonate obtainable by this process and its use as active bleach in detergent compositions is also disclosed.Type: GrantFiled: February 14, 2001Date of Patent: May 13, 2008Assignee: SOLVAY (Societe Anonyme)Inventors: Graham R. Horne, Alun P. James, Juan-Teva Carlier, Manfred Mathes

Patent number: 7354891Abstract: A process for preparing—a cleansing composition having pearlescence, which contains adding an ingredient (B) which has been molten beforehand, or an aqueous liquid in which the molten ingredient (B) is contained, to a suspension of an ingredient (A) and cooling the resultant mixture to cause the ingredient (B) to deposit; and the cleansing composition. The process makes it possible to economically produce cleansing compositions which have pearlescence, excellent in the stability of their pearlants, and superb long-term storage stability under acidic conditions and high-temperature conditions.Type: GrantFiled: August 8, 2003Date of Patent: April 8, 2008Assignee: Kao CorporationInventor: Kenji Arai
