  • Publication number: 20130338056
    Abstract: The fragrant gel polymer system is a process where a complete fragrance formulation remains whole and is then blended with either a polymer or a cross-linking agent. The non-fragrance carrying polymer is then liquefied and made homogenous with a solvent, including esters. The solvents modify viscosity and ease the mixing of the non-fragrance carrying polymer with the fragrance carrying polymer. The method also provides surfactants and wetting agents for further integration and mixing of the fragrance oils with either the polymer or the cross-linking agent during the steps of the process. Mixing of the fragrance carrying polymer and the non-fragrance polymer results in a gel that sets in less time and with less syneresis than existing processes.

  • Patent number: 8357651
    Abstract: Aminoplast microcapsules comprising a core of fragrance and a shell of aminoplast polymer, the composition of the shell being from 75-100% of a thermoset resin comprising 50-90% of a terpolymer and from 10-50% of a polymeric stabilizer; the terpolymer comprising: (a) from 20-60% of moieties derived from at least one polyamine; (b) from 3-50% of moieties derived from at least one polyol; and (c) from 20-70% of substituted methylene moieties, the microcapsules additionally optionally comprising up to 25% of a cationic polymer. The capsules are competitive with known aminoplast capsules and have the major advantage that they are formaldehyde-free.

  • Publication number: 20120322716
    Abstract: The fragrant gel polymer system is a process where a fragrance formulation is divided and blended with a polymer and a cross-linking agent. The polymer is then liquefied and made homogenous with a solvent, including esters. The solvent modifies viscosity and later eases the mixing of the polymer with the cross-linking agent. The cross linking agent is then liquefied and blended with water and aliphatic alcohol reducing steric hindrance. Mixing of the fragrance carrying polymer and the cross linking agent results in a gel that sets in less time and with less syneresis than existing processes. The resulting gel achieves a near transparent form and receives dyes while attaining various molded shapes.
