  • This invention offers a processing advantage in that use of the thixotropic compositions as taught herein enables the capsule-containing matrix to be extruded onto the supporting substrate to substantially the desired thickness sought in the end product. Some shrinkage
  • Suitable candidate support substrate materials include but are not limited to the following: paper, and flexible materials comprised of paper including paper toweling and various papers having varying contents of natural and synthetics fibers; foamed plastic sheets including open celled poly (vinyl chloride), foamed rubber, and polystyrene sheets; plastic films and sheets, including various natural and synthetic rubbers, resins, polyolefins, polyethylene, polypropylene, ethylene-propylene copolymers (cellophane, poly(vinylidene chloride), e.g., saran, poly carbonates, e.g.

  • the support Prior to deposition of the large capsule-containing thixotropic matrix upon the support, the support can be treated to impart patterned depressions in the upper surface therof, viz, the surface which is to receive the matrix. This can be done conveniently by embossing valleys in any desired configuration corresponding to the configuration of the embossing roll. This permits concentration of the encapsulated material in such embossed regions to tailormake articles wherein regional concentrations of the capsule components are required.
  • the capsulecontaining thixotropic matrix can be extruded onto a paper or other support having embossed depressions followed by scraping to remove excess matrix. In such an article, the capsule components will be concentrated in the desired regions.
  • the thickness of the supporting substrate can range from about 15 microns to about 25,000 microns. Usually, the supporting substrate thickness ranges from about microns to about 1,000 microns and, more usually, from about 200 microns to about 1,000 microns. In general, the selection of the specific support material to be employed will depend upon the specific use to which the articles are subjected in that the support provides the added strength to the binder matrix which is requisite for a given utility.
  • the thixotropic matrix contains a gelformer hydrophilic Water-soluble or readily water-dispersible organic polymer which has the ability to assume a swollen condition in water. It also contains a binder and other optional components, such as coloring agents, abrasives, etc., as discussed hereinbelow.
  • the following table indicates the permissible, usual and more usual typical components.
  • TAB LE Thixotropie matrix Concentration (weight percent)
  • the use of a thixotropic large capsule-containing gel matrix having the below noted viscosity characteristics prevents rapid and premature water absorption into the supporting substrate thereby maintaining the compositional integrity of the matrix uniformly thus promoting even distribution of all components.
  • the retention of Water-soluble components of the deposited capsule-containing matrix assists in promoting the desired hand or feel of the supporting substrate.
  • the capsule-containing thixotropic matrix contains (ex adjuvant fillers and capsules) a minor amount of the hydrophilic polymeric gel and a major amount of a flexible polymeric binder.
  • the capsules dominate the dried matrix composition on a weight basis.
  • POLYMERIC GEL FORMER This gel-former is the single ingredient of the matrix most responsible for providing the requisite viscosity or thixotropic condition which enables the capsules to be deposited upon the substrate support in an eflicient manner While minimizing breakage of the large capsule cell walls. While it is preferable, in accordance with the procedural aspects of this invention to deposit the capsule-containing thixotropic matrix by extrusion; the use of a thixotropic matrix appears to provide a cushion for the capsules thereby permitting other coating procedures to be employed, and satisfactory specimens have been produced by troweling the capsule matrix onto a flexible support with spatulas and similar delivery devices.
  • the viscosity of the thixotropic capsule-containing matrix compositions at the time of deposition onto the substrate (support) ranges from about 500 to about 50,000 centipoises (Brookfield) at C., usually ranges from about 1,000 to about 10,000 centipoises and more usually from about 2,000 to about 10,000 centipoises.
  • Suitable hydrophilic water-soluble or readily waterdispersible organic polymers which can be employed as a gel former include but are not limited to the following: methyl cellulose, carboxy methyl cellulose, carboxyethyl cellulose, various starches including natural and oxidized starches, pectin and other carbohydrate derivatives, casein and other animal derived proteinaceous polymers, wood cellulose derivatives, both cationic and anionic polyacrylamides (e.g., the commercially available Polyhall 295 marketed by the Stein Hall Co.), natural gums, e.g., karaya gum, gelatin partially hardened by aldehydic cross-linking agents to the extent whereby gel formation is not readily reversible by contact with warm water, vis, at temperatures of approximately 25 C. to 40 C.
  • a flexible binder in the thixotropic matrix imparts several desirable properties to the matrix and to the capsule-containing articles.
  • the use of a flexible binder components(s) enhances the matrix feel or hand and assists in avoiding a harsh texture.
  • a flexible binder assists in avoiding fissures or cracks which could result in premature capsule cell wall rupture and release of internal phase contents upon extended storage.
  • many of the capsule articles are designed for repeated usage with only a portion of the encapsulated components being dispensed in each usage. In such articles,
  • said matrix does not prematurely release an unduly large concentration of the total capsule contents or cause dislocation of portions of the matrix from the support resulting in their littering the surface of the support to which the capsule contents are to be applied as would likely occur if the matrix were too rigid. Therefore, sufficient binder should be utilized, where the aforementioned problems are a factor, in the capsule articles to impart the extent of flexibility required for a given end use. This can be established readily by manually flexing the supporting substrate containing the matrix after drying thereof. Repeated tests can be conducted at varying time periods consonant with the expected shelf life prior to actual use.
  • Suitable candidate exemplary binder materials which can be employed in the thixotropic matrix include but are not limited to the following: water-soluble polyacrylates and methacrylates and lower alkyl-substituted acrylates and methacrylates, e.g., the readily available SR 2 marketed by the Rohm & Haas Co.
  • This material is a water-soluble acrylic polymer resulting in soft, flexible films upon drying, which films retain the aforementioned properties and are substantially insoluble in water at room temperatures subsequent to their formation. Films formed from aqueous solutions of this acrylic polymer, per se, have a hardness (KHN) at room temperature of less than 1.0 after eighteen hours and retain the same hardness rating after being subjected to a temperature of 149 C.
  • binder materials include various natural and synthetic readily water-dispersible elastomeric latex materials, e.g., butadiene-styrene elastomers, butadiene-acaylonitrile elastomers.

Moreover, mixtures of liquid and solids can be present in the same capsule. Suitable exemplary capsule contents include, but are not limited to, the following: dry cleaning solvents, e.g., perchloroethylene, trichloroethylene, carbon tetrachloride; mineral spirits; detergents and solutions thereof; lubricants and lubricating oils, including light lubricating oils for sporting use such as gun oil, leather oil, etc.; metal cleaners for silver, copper, etc., such as urea solutions, ammonium sulfamate solutions, ammoniacal solutions (with or without tarnish preventing agents); insect repellents, e.g., alkyl polyols (hexane diol), dialkyl phthalates (dimethyl phthalate); shoe polish, viz, a combination of a solvent (naphtha), a dye (black) and a

  • the dried thixotropic matrix retains sulficient flexibility after drying to provide a cushion for the capsules and ward off premature capsule cell wall breakage due to assembling a plurality of applicators one upon another (as occurs, e.g., during storage, packaging, etc.); yet when moderate hand pressure is applied against the back of the applicator, e.g., from the barrier tfilm side of the supporting substrate, at least some of the capsules will break releasing their contents.
