NOVELTY - Operating a benefit agent delivery system, involves providing a benefit agent delivery system comprising (a) a conductive layer, (b) a plural of microcells, each microcell comprising an opening and containing a carrier and a benefit agent, (c) a sealing layer spanning the opening of each microcell and comprising a polymeric material and a metallic material, (d) an electrode layer; and (e) a voltage source; where the conductive layer, the microcell layer, the sealing layer and the electrode layer are vertically stacked upon each other; where the microcell layer and the sealing layer are arranged between the conductive layer and the electrode layer; and where the voltage source is coupled to the conductive layer and the electrode layer; applying a voltage potential difference between the conductive layer and the electrode layer to generate an electric field having a polarity causing the migration of the metallic material onto a surface of the microcell adjacent to the conductive layer. USE - Method for operating a benefit agent delivery system. ADVANTAGE - The method provides small, simple, inexpensive, versatile, low power, and safe benefit agents delivery systems. The delivery system has improved the flexure resistance of the embossed microcells. The rate of delivery of the benefit agent is controlled by the selecting the applied voltage potential. The system provide delivering varying amounts of benefit agents from the same delivery system at different times, and delivering multiple benefit agents at the same or different times from the same benefit agent delivery system. DETAILED DESCRIPTION - Operating a benefit agent delivery system, involves providing a benefit agent delivery system comprising (a) a conductive layer, (b) a plural of microcells, each microcell comprising an opening and containing a carrier (140) and a benefit agent (150), (c) a sealing layer (160) spanning the opening of each microcell and comprising a polymeric material and a metallic material, (d) an electrode layer; and (e) a voltage source; where the conductive layer, the microcell layer, the sealing layer and the electrode layer are vertically stacked upon each other; where the microcell layer and the sealing layer are arranged between the conductive layer (120) and the electrode layer (190); and where the voltage source is coupled to the conductive layer and the electrode layer; applying a voltage potential difference between the conductive layer and the electrode layer to generate an electric field having a polarity causing the migration of the metallic material onto a surface of the microcell adjacent to the conductive layer.
