Microcapsules

Abstract

The present invention relates to microcapsules comprising a hydrophobic core within a polymeric shell, wherein a) the polymeric shell is formed from shell components comprising: i) a polyisocyanate, wherein the polyisocyanate is selected from xylylene diisocyanate (XDI) and oligomers, adducts and derivatives thereof; ii) a polycaprolactone polyol comprising from 2 to 4 free hydroxyl groups; iii) a polyethyleneimine; iv) optionally, other shell components; and b) the hydrophobic core comprises an active material. The invention further relates to a slurry comprising the microcapsules, a home care formulation comprising the microcapsules, a personal care formulation comprising the microcapsules and a process for producing the microcapsules.
