Fragrances and Deodorants in Plastics Applications

Fragrances and deodorants for plastics are used in a variety of applications and are playing a growing role in marketing food and beverage packaging and in consumer products for the home.

Due to processing temperature concerns, fragrances are better suited to olefins rather than higher temperature plastics such as nylon or PET. Fragrances are typically incorporated into masterbatches for later addition during extrusion or moulding or the plastic part.

Instead of more traditional methods of releasing fragrances into the environment such as sachets, candles and sprays, fragrances are now increasingly being embedded in consumer goods such as laundry baskets, storage containers, and sink stoppers to impart scent into the environment. In industrial applications, such as scents for hotels, offices and public areas, fragrances are being encapsulated in both polymers and fibres. Home fragrance diffuser systems that have historically used liquids or gels are moving towards use of fragrance encapsulated in solid polymer instead.
