Laundry perfuming composition of the type comprising water-soluble, non-polymeric crystal salts in combination with a fragrance in free form, wherein said crystal salts are furthermore provided with at least a partial coating layer consisting of a fragrance in microcapsules, and such fragrance in free form is absorbed in said coating layer.

The present disclosure relates to hollow core granules, products incorporating the hollow core granules, and methods of making the hollow core granules. The hollow core granules can comprise at least one wall surrounding a cavity that is devoid of any solid or liquid so as to define a hollow core, the at least one wall comprising a plurality of individual particles of at least one wall forming material, the plurality of individual particles sufficiently bound together so that the at least one wall is structurally self-sustaining. The hollow core granules further can include a binder material present in the at least one wall. The hollow core granules can be useful as a standalone material and/or may be useful in preparing a variety of products wherein the hollow core granules may be mixed or otherwise combined with further components. The disclosure further provides methods of making such hollow core granules.

Methods, compositions, and kit(s) for removing corrosion or scale from a metal or a non-metal article are disclosed. In a first stage of the method, an article exhibiting corrosion can be exposed to an acid wash composition including a first acid component having one or more of HCl, Phosphoric Acid, Oxalic Acid, a second acid inhibitor/surfactant component including ethoxylated alkyl mercaptan, and a third thixotropic gelling agent component including Talc or Fumed silica, sufficient to cause gelling of the acid wash composition. In a second stage of the method performed subsequent to the first stage, the article can be exposed to an acid neutralizing composition comprising bicarbonate, borax, isopropyl alcohol and water.

This invention relates to non-bleeding, non-staining occult particles for use in granular or powdered laundry care compositions such as laundry detergents, laundry aids, and fabric care compositions. The occult particles are comprised of a clay carrier and a coloring agent and are characterized as being substantially indiscernible when contained in the laundry care composition.

A water-soluble unit dose article that includes a water-soluble film and at least a first internal compartment, where the first internal compartment includes one or more of a first particle, where the first particle comprises between about 45% and about 95% by weight of the first particle of a carrier material selected from polyethylene glycol, polyvinyl alcohol, urea, polyurethane, silica, alkoxylated fatty alcohols or mixtures thereof, between about 1% and about 50% by weight of the first particle of a benefit agent, and less than about 20% by weight of the first particle of a surfactant.

The present disclosure relates to the field of delivery systems. Described herein is a powdered composition comprising including granules having a hydrophobic active ingredient dispersed in a polymeric matrix, wherein the powdered composition contains a fireproofing agent. The fireproofing agent defined in the present disclosures includes talc that, when present in the powdered composition, prevents a dust explosion risk when the powdered composition is manufactured, handled or dosed into a consumer product.

Laundry perfuming composition of the type comprising water-soluble, non-polymeric crystal salts in combination with a fragrance in free form, wherein said crystal salts are furthermore provided with at least a partial coating layer consisting of a fragrance in microcapsules, and such fragrance in free form is absorbed in said coating layer.

A composition for removing spillage on asphalt paving of hydrocarbon substances which includes modifiers, chemical oxidizers and bacteria which metabolizes both the spillage and a softened top layer of asphalt paving to aid in rehardening the surface of the mat while not metabolizing the underlying asphalt paving unaffected by the spillage.

The present invention relates to a laundry detergent composition comprising a particle comprising hueing agent and clay. The particle can be incorporated into laundry detergent products, such as a laundry detergent powder. The particle exhibits an excellent storage stability profile with very little bleeding of the hueing dye from the particle, exhibits excellent fabric deposition of the hueing dye during a laundering process without causing any spot staining of the fabric, and does not impact the visual appearance of a laundry detergent powder when incorporated therein.

A process for producing a formulation that is solid at up to a temperature of at least 60 C., wherein (a) at least one nonionic surfactant of the general formula (I), R.sup.1CH(OH)CH.sub.2-(AO).sub.xR.sup.2 (I) (wherein: R.sup.1 is C.sub.4-C.sub.20-alkyl, R.sup.2 is C.sub.8-C.sub.20-alkyl, AO are each independently C.sub.2-C.sub.4-alkylene, and x is in a range from 5 to 100), is mixed in a molten state with (b) at least one second substance selected from polyethylene glycol and nonionic surfactants different from surfactants of general formula (I), confectioned, mixed and ground in the solid state with (c) silica or silicate and (d) at least one auxiliary selected from alkali metal citrate, alkali metal carbonate or at least one chelating agent selected from compounds of the general formula (II), R.sup.3CH(COOM.sup.1)-N(CH.sub.2COOM.sup.1).sub.2 (II) (wherein: R.sup.3 is C.sub.1-C.sub.4-alkyl, phenyl, benzyl, CH.sub.2OH and CH.sub.2CH.sub.2COOM.sup.1, and M.sup.1 is an alkali metal or a combination of at least two alkali metals). Furthermore granules and their use.
