Encapsulating freshness Sustained freshness from encapsulated softener technology, from Christeyns.
There is nothing better than fresh smelling linen or clothing. Hygiene chemical specialist Christeyns has introduced innovative Encapsulated Fragrance Delivery Technology that allows the aroma from its softeners to remain for an extended period of time.
It’s widely known that perfumes are typically volatile and tend to be lost during processing at high temperature or during use. This new technology is designed in such a way that perfume-containing microcapsules have the ability to adhere to the fibre and break once the textile is handled, providing sustained perfume release. So, on getting into bed with fresh linen or wearing a garment, the rubbing of the fibre releases a fresh, long-lasting scent.
Christeyns has redesigned its high-tech fabric softener Bisoft Perla with this new technology, introducing a new perfume and improved formula that is easy to dose and suitable for all types of laundries. However, a fresh scent is not the only reason for using a softener.
In a commercial environment where laundries are judged not only on their pricing structure but on the final wash outcome, it is crucial that linen gets back to the end user in better than pristine condition. Using the right fabric softener can make all the difference.
Innovatively engineered products, like those from Christeyns, not only make the items feel soft, they do much more.
Protecting the life of the linen is one of the aims in the main wash process, hence the use of a programme like Christeyns’ Cool Chemistry, but it is also an important factor in using a softener. Fibres become smooth and protected thus reducing friction in the wash process, preventing bobbling. Softener also helps keep linens bright, reducing abrasion and helping to retain colour. This keeps the linen looking good, allowing prolonged usage.
Pressing linen, uniforms and other items is much easier and quicker with a good softener, with less energy required in

the pressing process. Softener also reduces static cling by neutralising any negative ions. This is especially valuable with workwear items.
An encapsulated softener works particularly well with items such as towels and bathrobes, providing a softer and fresher finish. Spa and Wellness facilities, luxury hotels and B&Bs, can benefit from providing customers with textiles that hold an intense and long-lasting fragrance.
This type of softener has also been adapted for use with special care fabrics to eliminate unpleasant odours. Two new, environmentally-friendly softeners have this month been introduced by Cole & Wilson, the delicate care division of Christeyns.
Pro-Fit Fusion, for use in wet cleaning, features special properties that capture and trap malodours such as smoke, body odours and damp, leaving a long-lasting tropical fragrance. As well as clothing items, carpets, curtains and upholstery can also benefit from Pro-Fit Fusion, by eliminating lingering odours from pets or smoke.
For use in dry cleaning, Sultra Aroma is an additive that combats similar unpleasant odours but on textiles that cannot be washed using water and is specifically aimed at the hospitality industry, where a neutral, pleasant smelling environment is crucial.
It allows textiles to be thoroughly cleaned and odour- causing molecules to be eliminated and replaced with a fresh perfume and a softer touch. It can be used in perchloroethylene, hydrocarbon and HiGlo solvents.
As we move into summer and the opening up of hospitality, it’s a great time to bring the freshness of the outdoors inside. Encapsulated softeners can provide just that bit more of an extra special welcome.
