Patent Application
20080200363
The present application relates to benefit agent delivery compositions, compositions, packaged products and displays comprising such benefit agent delivery compositions, and processes for making and using such benefit agent delivery compositions, compositions, packaged products and displays.
Benefit agents, such as perfumes, brighteners, insect repellants, silicones, waxes, flavors, vitamins, cooling agents, fabric softening agents and skin care agents are expensive and may be less effective when employed at high levels in personal care compositions, cleaning compositions, and fabric care compositions. As a result, there is a desire to maximize the effectiveness of such benefit agents. One method of achieving such objective is to improve the delivery efficiencies of such benefit agents. Unfortunately, it is difficult to improve the delivery efficiencies of benefit agents as such agents may be lost do to the agents' physical or chemical characteristics, such agents may be incompatible with other compositional components or the situs that is treated, or such agents may be lost during post application processes such as rinsing or drying.
Accordingly, there is a need for a benefit agent delivery composition that provides improved benefit agent delivery efficiency. While not being bound by theory, applicants believe that the benefit agent delivery compositions disclosed herein meet such need as such compositions have increased deposition and retention properties which result in the desired increase in benefit agent delivery efficiency.
Benefit agent delivery compositions, compositions, packaged products and displays comprising such benefit agent delivery compositions, and processes for making and using such benefit agent delivery compositions, compositions, packaged products and displays.

The procedure of Example 1 is followed accept the following ingredients are used:
A benefit agent delivery composition is obtained.
A polymer mixture of 3 parts Lupasol® WF (CAS# 09002-98-6) from BASF, and 7 parts carboxyl-terminated Hycar® 1300×18 Special (CAS#0068891-50-9) is made. The mixture is combined, in a ratio of 1.7:8.3 parts polymer mixture to Benzyl Benzoate to make a solution. The ingredients are combined in a glass jar, and mixed by heating to 80° C. on a hot plate while being stirred using a magnetic stirrer.
Next, the resulting polymer premix/Benzyl Benzoate is mixed with a perfume composition in a 1:1 ratio. The resulting mix is than added to a Fabric Enhancer matrix.
Any of the benefit agent delivery compositions obtained via Examples 1-12 above or any mixture thereof is heated to 60° for about 2 hours before starting the agglomeration. Then the selected benefit agent delivery composition is combined with melted Lutensol® AT 80 powder in a ratio of 4 parts benefit agent delivery composition to 6 parts melted Lutensol® AT 80 powder by weight. The aforementioned ingredients are mixed using a Ultra-Turrax T25 Basic equipment (from IKA) for 5 to 10 minutes to form a mixture.
Next, the aforementioned mixture is mixed in a ratio of 4 parts mixture to 6 parts soda ash light using a Braun kitchen food processor to form an agglomerate that is added to a powder detergents matrix.
Any of the benefit agent delivery compositions obtained via Examples 1-12 above is heated to 60° for about 2 hours before starting the agglomeration.
The any of such benefit agent delivery compositions is mixed for about 5 minutes, using an Ultra-Turrax T25 Basic equipment (from IKA), with benzyl benzoate in the ratios given above to form a mixture. The resulting mixture is then added to a liquid detergent matrix.
The materials below are added separately, in any order, to a liquid cleaning and/or treatment composition matrix to form a cleaning and/or treatment composition.
The procedure of Example 1 is followed accept the following ingredients are used:
A benefit agent delivery composition is obtained.
The dimensions and values disclosed herein are not to be understood as being strictly limited to the exact numerical values recited. Instead, unless otherwise specified, each such dimension is intended to mean both the recited value and functionally equivalent range surrounding that value. For example, a dimension disclosed as “40 mm” is intended to mean “about 40 mm”.
All documents cited in the Detailed Description of the Invention are, in relevant part, incorporated herein by reference; the citation of any document is not to be construed as an admission that it is prior art with respect to the present invention. To the extent that any meaning or definition of a term in this document conflicts with any meaning or definition of the same term in a document incorporated by reference, the meaning or definition assigned to that term in this document shall govern.
While particular embodiments of the present invention have been illustrated and described, it would be obvious to those skilled in the art that various other changes and modifications can be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention. It is therefore intended to cover in the appended claims all such changes and modifications that are within the scope of this invention.
This application claims priority under 35 U.S.C. § 119(e) to U.S. Provisional Application Ser. No. 60/901,569 filed Feb. 15, 2007.
