Incorporation of fragrance microcapsules into tissue paper

The company's activity focuses on the manufacture and distribution of tissue paper for service companies, cleaning, hospitality and hospitals, through a network of distributors.

01. CHALLENGE

After exploring new innovative concepts to improve the attributes of tissue paper, the use of microencapsulated fragrances proved to be a promising prospect for today’s market.

The aim of this project was to improve aspects such as scent intensity without altering the product’s aesthetic or functional properties. This required adjustments to the formulation, finding the optimal proportion of softening solution and microcapsule stabiliser included in the paper.

The goal was a high-added-value product that would stand out from others on the market.

02. SOLUTION

GDE’s solution to this challenge was to use microencapsulated fragrance finishes. With this finish, the compounds responsible for the fragrance are encapsulated, enabling a controlled, gradual release of the fragrance at the chosen time and place. This prevents the scent from disappearing quickly.

An encapsulation study of the selected fragrance was carried out, considering its formulation in terms of functional quality and release capacity without altering the quality or properties of the paper.

Following this study, the scent intensity was assessed before and after applying the product, with very positive results.

03. TODAY

These microcapsules have added value to the tissue paper without altering its appearance or quality. The company now has a product with improved scent quality, which gives it a strong competitive edge in the market.
