A releasable encapsulation composition is described. The composition comprises a plurality of capsules, each capsule comprising an amphiphilic material encapsulating a substance, such as an active ingredient. The substance is releasable from encapsulation by a change in the amphiphilic material triggered by a change in the environment around the capsule.

An encapsulation composition is described. The composition comprises a plurality of capsules, each capsule comprising an amphiphilic material encapsulating a pyrethroid. The encapsulated pyrethroid has a release rate less than the release rate of the unencapsulated pyrethroid. Coated fabric products are also described.

The present invention relates to granules comprising a bleach catalyst and to their use in bleach-containing detergents.

Stabilized catalyst detergent compositions are provided in solid alkaline detergent formulations are disclosed. The compositions are suitable for use with additional detergent and/or bleaching compositions while providing stabilized catalysts within an encapsulated cellulose derivative coating. Methods of use for cleaning are disclosed.

Provided is a granule containing a core containing one or more bleach catalyst(s), one or more binder(s), optionally a bleach activator and further a coating a containing a polymer or a carboxylic acid as well as a detergent composition containing such a granule, a method for preparing the granule and the use of such a granule in cleaning compositions.

Disclosed are granulates comprising a) one or more sulfonimines and/or one or more quaternary iminium salts, and b) one or more acids which are solid at 25 C.

These granulates contain highly-active bleach catalysts and are very storage stable. The granulates show no tendency towards staining during storage and experience no appreciable loss of active substance during storage.

The granulates of the invention can preferably be used in dishwasher agents or in washing agents and cleaning agents for low temperatures.

The present invention relates to co-granules comprising an enzyme and a bleach catalyst and to their use in bleach-containing granular automatic dishwash (ADW) detergents.

The invention relates to a bleach catalyst granules containing a metal-containing bleach catalyst, which comprises at least one ligand selected from the group comprising di- or trimethyltriazcyclononanes or derivatives therefrom, and a homo- or copolymer polycarboxylate, salts thereof or partially neutralized having a pH-value of between 3 and 9. Said granules are produced in an anhydrous granulation process, in particular by compacting, the treatment temperature being maintained at below 100 C.

The invention relates to a bleaching-agent co-granule containing a bleach activator, a metal-containing bleach catalyst comprising at least one ligand from the group consisting of di- or trimethyltriazacyclononane and derivatives of these, and a homo- or copolymeric polycarboxylate or its salts or partial neutralizates having a pH in the range from 3 to 9. The bleaching-agent co-granule is obtained in an anhydrous granulating process, preferably by compaction at a temperature below 100 C. The invention also relates to the method of using the bleaching-agent co-granule in dishwasher detergents and to a detergent comprising said bleaching-agent co-granule.

Disclosed is a cleaning composition containing a metal-containing bleach catalyst, a carboxymethylcellulose (CMC) and further commonly used cleaning composition ingredients such as a builder, a surfactant, polymers/cobuilders, and an enzyme. Preferably, the cleaning composition does not contain a bleach activator such as tetraacetylethylenediamine (TAED). Preferably, the metal-containing bleach catalyst contained in the cleaning composition is a cobalt (Co) containing bleach catalyst or a manganese (Mn) containing bleach catalyst. In the cleaning composition, the carboxymethylcellulose is preferably present in an amount of at least 0.02% (w/w), preferably at least 0.05% (w/w) relative to total amount of the cleaning composition.
