Abstract
A tableted detergent composition for washing clothes consists of tablets of detergent composition sealed in moisture tight packages each containing a number of tablets no larger than required for a single wash, such that the tablets should always remain protected from moisture until immediately before use. The tablets contain a large proportion of effervescence generators to provide sufficiently rapid dissolution of the detergent composition.
Description
This invention relates to detergent compositions in tablet form.
7.t has long been an attractive idea to market detergent compositions in tablet form, and such compositions have been successfully marketed for use in dishwashers, and for other "hard surface" cleaning applications, such as for cleaning dentures. Such "hard surface" cleaners typically utilize Effervescent tablets, with a view to providing a sustained effervescence during gradual dissolution of a tablet, which effervescence may participate in the cleansing action of the tablet .
Although a number of proposals have been made over many years i=or detergents in tablet form for use in washing clothes, we are not aware that any of these proposals has achieved significant commercial success, despite the apparent advantages of the concept, which include accurate control of amount of detergent used, reduced storage space required by t=ablets, ease of use, and, in the case of effervescent tablets, a visual suggestion to the user that the product is "doing something".
_Cn order that such a tablet be useful for washing clothes, it is essential that it dissolves fast enough when used to make its detergent properties speedily available. In addition, t:he tablets must have sufficient strength to allow handling without disintegration, and must have a sufficient storage .Life in the hands of the ultimate user that the properties of t:he product have not deteriorated significantly prior to use.
These requirements tend to be mutually exclusive. Fast dissolution of the tablets requires the incorporation of substantial quantities of ingredients or combinations of _i.ngredients to provide effervescence that are of necessity highly moisture sensitive. Absorption of moisture reduces t:he effectiveness of these ingredients, and may also either reduce the strength of the tablets, leading to premature disintegration, or in some cases harden the tablets, thus further hindering dissolution. Formation of stronger tablets involves higher forming pressures to provide harder tablets which are less easily dissolved, and increases the risk that t:he tablets will not separate cleanly from the moulds used to f=orm them. The tablets, because of their purpose, will tend t:o be stored in damp environments, and users are typically unlikely to take much care to protect them from damp. It is not believed that anyone to date, despite a longer history of attempts, has satisfactorily resolved all of these problems.
V~e have found that a satisfactory resolution of these problems may be obtained by disregarding the moisture sensitivity of the tablet formulation, provided that the t=ablets are sealed in moisture tight packages with each package containing no larger number of tablets than is required for a single wash. This means that the packages will not normally be opened until required for use, and thus storage life in damp conditions ceases to be a factor in the problem outlined above. This in turn means that ingredients too aid fast dissolution can be used in adequate quantities to provide rapid dissolution and counter any reduction of the rate of dissolution occasioned by the tablet-forming process .
~~t the same time, the strength of the tablets becomes somewhat less critical since if a tablet does disintegrate, t;he fragments will be retained within the package until use.
Dissolution may be further aided by making the tablets fairly small, since the package may contain whatever number of tablets is required for a particular application.
I?urther features of the invention will become apparent from t=he following description with reference to the accompanying drawings in which Figures 1 and 2 show a typical package in <~ccordance with the invention.
Referring to the Figures, tablets 2 of a detergent composition are shown sealed within a pouch of moisture _~mpermeable film 4 by heat seals 6 at each end of a length of i°ilm welded edge to edge to form a tube enveloping the tablets. A slot 8 may be formed in either or both seals to f=acilitate tearing open of the pouch. In the example shown, t;he pouch contains four tablets, sized and formulated to provide sufficient detergent composition to wash a typical 7_oad of washing in a typical automatic clothes washing rnachine. An alternative pack contains but a single similar t=ablet, suitable for example for hand washing a few items of clothing in a wash hand basin.
In an alternative form of packaging, the tablets are _Lndividually packed into an array of separable blisters in a blister pack similar to those commonly used for packaging pharmaceutical tablets. Typically the array of blisters would be formed in a sheet of polyvinyl dichloride and the blisters closed after insertion of the tablets by the application of aluminum foil, the array being perforated between the blisters to allow for separation of one or more blister packed tablets. If the array contains 12 blisters in a 3 x 4 array, then it may be separated either into single tablets for hand washing, or a row of four tablets will provide detergent for a. machine wash.
'.f'Yhe pouches or blister packs are suitable for dispensing from coin freed machines in laundromats, and have the advantages of being much smaller and more compact than miniature packets of conventional detergent powder. As discussed further below, the tablets contain components which act together as an effervescence generator on contact with water, which not only indicates to the user the progress of dissolution of the tablets, but also reduces the likelihood of pockets of undissolved detergent becoming trapped in the folds of clothing, as can happen with conventional powder detergents.
The tablets may be round or rectangular, and should be relatively thin, possibly with concave faces, to speed dissolution and increase their surface area relative to their volume .
An exemplary and presently preferred tablet formulation is set forth below as Example I, the quantities of the constituents being listed in grams per tablet, with the total weight of a tablet being about 8 grams. With this formulation, four such tablets will suffice for a washing machine load, and a single tablet for a small hand wash. The constituents of the table are largely conventional detergent _Lngredients, except for the large content, well over half the weight of the tablet, of effervescence generating components and the addition of tableting aids. The use of sodium t;ripolyphosphate as a sequestering agent also assists the ~°apid dissolution of the tablets provided by the large content of effervescence generating components; indeed these components represent more than 750 of the weight of the tablet. This is only possible because of the single use rnoisture proof packaging of the tablets, since otherwise they would be far too moisture sensitive to withstand the usual conditions in which open detergent packages are stored.
Indeed, it is necessary to control carefully humidity conditions during manufacture.

While other effervescence generating systems are known and have been proposed for detergent tablets other than t;he carbonate with citric and/or tartaric acid system disclosed, such a system has the advantage of using _~nexpensive, readily available and non-toxic components, as well as providing buffered alkalinity of the resulting detergent solution. Sodium tripolyphosphate further enhances the dissolution and sequestering properties of the composition.
The tablets are formed with sufficient compression to maintain their integrity through the packaging process and subsequent handling, although they do not need to be as strong as would be the case with loose-packed tablets since they will be subject to less impact and abrasion, and occasional damage to a tablet will not be serious since detached material will be retained within the packaging and not lost.
The packaging described above is exemplary only, and alternatives can be used that are moisture tight, inexpensive t:o apply and easy to open at the time of use.
