Capsules
Capsules are designed based on application: active ingredient and trigger mechanism
Battelle Smart Laundry Capsule™
• Encapsulation of bleach activator for more effective bleach product in cold water washing
• Release of activator triggered in-wash by pH change
• Capsule “shell” is biodegradable polymer
Encapsulated Bleach Activator
The consumer benefits from the Smart Laundry Capsule
Energy Savings BiodegradableBetter Cleaning
Battelle process achieves complete encapsulation of active ingredient
• Particle surface morphology is rough and granular; distinctly different than neat TAED
• Absence of nitrogen on the surface demonstrates complete encapsulation
