Key Product Features

🧺

Wash-Durable Performance

Engineered to withstand the rigors of the laundry cycle. The robust melamine-formaldehyde (MF) shell prevents premature fragrance leakage in aqueous detergent and softener bases.

  • >85% retention after 10 wash cycles (AATCC 135).
  • D50 of 12–18 µm ensures optimal adhesion to fabric fibers.

💨

Friction-Activated Release

Delivers scent on demand. Capsules remain intact until mechanical pressure—such as wearing a garment or tumbling in a dryer—triggers the rupture and releases the floral fragrance.

  • Sustained, long-lasting scent profile.
  • Reduces the need for high fragrance oil loading in the base formula.

📄

Verifiable Documentation

We provide the data to back up our claims. Every batch is supported by a comprehensive regulatory and technical package for seamless formulation integration.

  • TDS, SDS, & IFRA 51st Amendment.
  • EU Allergen Declaration (compliant with 82-substance list).
  • GC-MS Assay provided per batch.

⚗️

Formulation Ready

Optimized for easy incorporation into liquid fabric softeners, scent boosters, and linen sprays without compromising the stability of the base product.

  • Stable pH range: 3.0 – 8.0.
  • Compatible with cationic and non-ionic surfactants.
  • Add below 40°C (cooling phase).

🌸

Authentic Floral Profile

A balanced, multi-layered floral accord designed to deliver a clean, fresh, and premium scent experience that appeals to a broad consumer base.

  • Top: Fresh Green Leaves.
  • Heart: Jasmine & Rose Accord.
  • Base: Clean Musk.

🌱

Bio-Based Shell Options

For brands requiring renewable carbon content or formaldehyde-free marketing claims, we offer a compatible bio-based acrylate shell alternative.

  • Certified via ASTM D6866.

Product Overview

This Floral Encapsulated Fragrance is a high-performance, friction-activated microcapsule slurry engineered specifically for aqueous fabric care systems, including liquid fabric softeners, in-wash scent boosters, and linen sprays.

Unlike conventional free-form floral oils that volatilize (evaporate) rapidly during the wash and rinse cycles, this system utilizes a robust melamine-formaldehyde (MF) core-shell morphology. The polymer shell physically isolates the fragrance oil, acting as a protective barrier until mechanical friction—such as the tumbling of a dryer or the wearing of a garment—triggers the rupture of the capsule. This ensures the scent is released precisely when and where it is needed most.

Fragrance Profile:

  • Top Notes: Fresh Green Leaves (Crisp, initial burst)
  • Heart Notes: Jasmine & Rose Accord (Rich, authentic floral core)
  • Base Notes: Clean Musk (Long-lasting, skin-friendly foundation)

Performance & Stability Data

We believe in verifiable claims, not marketing fluff. Below is a summary of our internal wash-durability testing (Internal Lab Ref: ST-2026-FL04):

  • Test Method: AATCC 135 (Standard Home Laundering)
  • Fabric Substrate: 100% Cotton Jersey
  • Dosage: 1.5% (w/w) in a standard cationic softener base
  • Result: Sensory panel (n=20, blind test) rated fragrance intensity at 4.2/5.0 immediately after application. After 10 wash cycles, the intensity remained at 3.6/5.0—a retention rate of >85% relative to initial impact.
  • Control Comparison: Neat floral oil at identical dosage dropped to <1.0/5.0 after only 3 washes.

Note: Full stability protocols, including accelerated thermal cycling at 40°C for 3 months, are available in the TDS upon verified B2B request.

  • 📄
    Safety Data Sheet (SDS): GHS compliant 16-section format.
  • 📄
    IFRA Conformity Certificate: Compliant with the 51st Amendment.
  • 📄
    EU Allergen Declaration: Full breakdown of the 82 declarable fragrance allergens (per Regulation 2023/1545).
  • 📄
    Formaldehyde Mitigation Statement: Available upon request for brands with strict “free-from” marketing claims.

Application & Processing Guide

Liquid Fabric Softener

Add at 0.8% – 1.5% during the cooling phase (below 40°C). Do not apply high-shear mixing (e.g., homogenizer) after addition; gentle agitation is sufficient to disperse the slurry without rupturing the capsules.

Scent Booster Beads

Use at 1.0% – 2.0% (w/w) depending on desired intensity. The capsule slurry can be sprayed onto polymer beads or incorporated directly into the binder system.

Linen Sprays

Formulate at 0.3% – 0.8%. Ensure the final formulation contains a suspending agent (e.g., xanthan gum) to prevent capsule sedimentation over time.

Processing Cautions:

  • Avoid pH extremes (stable range: 3.0 – 8.0).
  • Do not expose to temperatures above 50°C for prolonged periods.
  • Rinse mixing equipment with warm water immediately after use.

Frequently Asked Questions (B2B)

Q: Can this floral encapsulated fragrance be used in clear gels or transparent formulations?

A: No. This is a standard opaque slurry with a D50 of 12–18 µm. The particle size will scatter light, causing opacity. For clear formulations, we recommend our Sub-Micron Series (Encap-Clear SD-10) with a D90 of <0.8 µm.

Q: What is the difference between your “Standard MF” and “BioShell” floral grades?

A: The Standard MF offers maximum wash durability and is the most cost-effective for high-volume laundry applications. The BioShell uses a renewable carbon-based shell (certified via ASTM D6866) and is free from formaldehyde donors, but has a slightly lower thermal stability ceiling (recommended for cold-fill processes only).

Q: How do you ensure batch-to-batch consistency for the fragrance profile?

A: Every batch is analyzed via GC-MS (Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry) against a retained reference standard. The Certificate of Analysis (CoA) provides the relative area percentage for key marker compounds (e.g., Linalool, Benzyl Acetate) to confirm the floral profile matches the approved submission sample.

Q: Is the formaldehyde content a concern for EU compliance?

A: The MF shell is a polymerized matrix. Free formaldehyde levels in our standard grade are typically <0.05%, which complies with EU cosmetic regulations. Encapsulated systems are evaluated differently based on migration. We provide a specific Free Formaldehyde Migration Report upon request for cosmetic applications.
