Abstract
A process for preparing free-flowing microcapsules by taking advantage of the phase-separation of ethylcellulose in cyclohexane is disclosed. In this process, a hydrocarbon compound which is soluble in cyclohexane and have a molecular weight of 150 to 3,000 and a solubility parameter (.delta., at 25.degree. C.) of 7 to 10 (cal/cm.sup.3).sup.1/2 is used as the phase-separation-inducing agent.
