Summary
Carbamide peroxide (CP), a hydrogen peroxide (HP) releasing agent has been encapsulated as a model active of water soluble, sensitive and reactive active. A screening of commonly used encapsulation techniques placed spray cooling of solid CP as the most promising cost effective method with paraffin wax as a carrier. The release profile of HP was temperature dependent and was tuned to achieve fast or slow release using release rate modifiers.
