Polymeric encapsulated benefit agent particles: UnileverRecent Research Landscape

Active ingredient loss during high-shear laundry cycles reduces product efficacy and increases formulation costs. These innovations engineer particle morphology and shell integrity to ensure targeted release onto fabric surfaces.

What technical problems is Unilever addressing in Polymeric encapsulated benefit agent particles?

Premature benefit agent release

(18)evidences

Uncontrolled leakage of active ingredients during storage or wash cycles reduces product efficacy. Preventing early degradation ensures maximum functional delivery to the target surface.

Inefficient benefit agent deposition

(3)evidences

Active ingredients frequently degrade or dissipate before reaching the target substrate during the wash cycle. Preventing early release ensures functional efficacy and dosage consistency.
