- Example 1 Preparation of the Hydrophobically Modified Polymeric Material A 10wt% solution of PVOH in water was prepared by placing 10Og PVOH (Mowiol 20-98 (trade name), ex Kuraray Specialities) and 90Og demineralised water into a flask and heating to 7O 0 C. To this, 10ml of hydrochloric acid (36% aqueous solution) was added to catalyse the reaction and then butyraldehyde was added. The mixture was then stirred at 7O 0 C for 5 hours under an inert atmosphere, after which time the heating was stopped and agitation continued for a further 20 hours at room temperature. The reaction mixture was then brought to a pH of 7 using a sodium hydroxide solution.
- the resulting solution was precipitated into acetone to yield the acetalised PVOH polymer and washed repeatedly with acetone (500ml) and then water (50ml). It was then dried under vacuum at 7O 0 C overnight to yield a white polymer.
- a solution comprising 1 part hydrophobically modified PVOH solution (15% active) was mixed with 2 parts of a slurry containing an encapsulated perfume (53% solids, 20% perfume loading) with a trace of Pigment Violet 23.
- the resulting solution was then added dropwise through a 22-guage hypodermic needle to a surfactant solution containing approximately 65% nonionic/anionic surfactants at a temperature of 50 0 C.
- the PVOH/perfume encap slurry forms polymer particles of approximately 1.5mm in diameter.
- the surfactant solution is cooled to ambient temperature.
- a solution comprising 1 part hydrophobically modified PVOH solution (15% active) was mixed with 2 parts of a slurry containing an encapsulated perfume (53% solids, 20% perfume loading) plus 5ml of a 1g/l Acid Blue 98 solution.
- the resulting solution was then added dropwise through a 22-guage hypodermic needle to a surfactant solution containing approximately 65% nonionic/anionic surfactants at a temperature of 50 0 C. At this temperature, the PVOH/perfume encap slurry forms polymer particles of approximately 1.5mm in diameter.
- the surfactant solution is cooled to ambient temperature.
- Example 4 1g of polymer particles containing perfume encapsulates and Pigment Violet 23 were formed in 35ml of a concentrated liquid detergent containing approximately 45% nonionic/anionic surfactants in a similar method to examples 1 and 2.
- the resulting mixture of polymer particles in surfactant was then added to a washing machine (Miele Novotronic W844) containing a 3kg load (1 kg woven cotton sheeting, 1 kg knitted cotton, 1 kg 65:32 woven cotton/polyester) and washed using the standard 40 0 C cotton wash cycle using Prenton water (26°FH, 2:1 Ca:Mg ratio). After washing, half of the load was line dried, half was tumble dried (Miele drier, normal setting). On drying, the presence of perfume encaps was determined by rubbing the fabric. In both cases, perfume was released. Visual analysis of the fabric revealed no residues and none were observed inside the machine.
- Mowiflex LPFX416 is a hydrophobically modified PVOH available from Kuraray.
- Mowiol 3-85 is a standard PVOH material without any hydrophobic substitution, available from Kuraray.
- the Mowiol grade used is a close as possible to that used in US 2005/0075261 paragraph [0025] - "Mowiol 8- 83"; the comparative example thus shows the technical effect for the hydrophobic modification. Both particles were in the form of films, and were dried at room temperature for 72 hours, and cut into shapes for inclusion into surfactant compositions.
- each film was cut into 5mm squares and placed into 20ml detergent formulation (45 wt.% surfactant) and placed on a bottle roller.
- the absorption at 580nm was measured after 48 hours to determine the amount of dye leakage from the film. This shows whether the polymer particles in the form of a film are unstable due to leakage of their benefit agent into the formulation. The integrity of the shapes was also observed.
