1. A method of treating particulates comprising:
- (a) encapsulating particulates in a first, inner coating comprising a cationically charged material in an amount sufficient to impart a cationic charge in the range of from about 0.1 mV to about 400 mV to the particulates; and
(b) encapsulating the particulates of (a) in a second, outer coating comprising a film former material in an amount sufficient to render the encapsulated particulates hydrophobic, wherein the particulates retain the cationic charge in the range of from about 0.1 mV to about 400 mV;
wherein step (a) comprises introducing particulates to a microfluidizer and subjecting the particulates to at least one spray coating operation with a first composition comprising a water-soluble or water-dispersible cationically-charged material, followed by subjecting the cationically-charged particulates to at least one drying step;
wherein step (b) comprises subjecting the cationically-charged particulates of (a) to at least one spray coating operation with a second composition comprising a film former material in an amount sufficient to further render the cationically-charged particulates hydrophobic, followed by at least one drying step; and
wherein a weight ratio of the first composition to the particulates is in the range of from about 0.1;
1 to about 5;
