Abstract:

A method of applying fragrance to a fabric substrate includes bleaching a cotton fabric substrate, mercerizing the cotton fabric substrate, and preparing the cotton fabric substrate for dyeing. The method includes making a foam containing a bonding material made of an acrylic polymer or a carboxylated, heat-reactive, styrene-acrylic copolymer, a surfactant, water, and microcapsules of a fragrant material in a ratio of about 40% bonding material, about 2% surfactant, about 45% water, and about 13% microcapsules of a fragrant material. The cotton fabric substrate is passed through a foam applicator where the foam is applied to the cotton fabric substrate using a top applicator of a foaming machine to apply the foam to a face of the fabric substrate in a wet-pickup range of 25% to 10%.
