Other encapsulated bleaches are al60 ~nown. ~or example, US
~0 Patent N~ 4,279,764 to Bruba~er shows encapsula~ion of a miXture o~ an organic nitrogen-containing halogen bleaching agent; an ~-H-con~a.ining comp~und, and a soluble inorganic hydxa~able salt~ US Pate~ 3,~3~,013 ~o Jas2~a tca~hee encapsulated calclu~ ~ypochlo~i~e bleach.
The coatings can be appli~d in a varie~y of woll-known methods including tumbling the coating and coa~ed compound in a rolling mill, spraying a solution or suspension o~ the coating into a fluidi2~ ~ed of the compound to be ~oated, precipitating the ~oa~is~g ~rom a ~olvent on to the compound to be coate~ which is in suspension in the ~olven~, etc.
