PCT No. PCT/US96/17124 Sec. 371 Date Oct. 2, 1998 Sec. 102(e) Date Oct. 2, 1998 PCT Filed Oct. 25, 1996 PCT Pub. No. WO97/17939 PCT Pub. Date May 22, 1997A spray-dried, granular powder comprising: (i) from about 50% to about 99% of a water-soluble carrier, (ii) from about 1% to about 50% of a hydrophobic silicone oil dispersed within the carrier, wherein the spray-dried powder has a volume average particle size in the range from about 20 mu m to about 500 mu m, the powder being prepared by spray-drying an aqueous dispersion of the silicone oil and the water-soluble carrier, characterized in that the silicone oil is present in the dispersion in the form of discrete droplets having a volume average droplet size in the range from about 0.5 mu m to about 20 mu m and that the ratio of the average spray-dried particle size to the average droplet size is at least about 2.5:1. The powder is dry, free-flowing and processable into a punched tablet or other compressed forms, yet efficiently delivers the silicone oil on subsequent dissolution in water. |
