Description
A MULTI-PHASE DETERGENT TA$LET
Techni~,al Field The present invention relates to mufti-phase detergent tablets. In particular, it relates to mufti-phase detergent tablets having improved robustness and product integrity together with excellent dissolution characteristics.
Background Detergent compositions in tablet form are known in the art. It is understood that detergent compositions in tablet form hold several advantages over detergent compositions in particulate fon~, such as ease of dosing, handling, transportation and storage.
Detergent tablets are most commonly prepared by pre-mixing components of a detergent composition and forming the pre-mixed detergent components into a tablet using any suitable equipment, preferably a tablet press. Tablets are typically formed by compression of the comporunts of the detergent composition so that the tablets produced are su~ciently robust to be able to withstand handling and transportation without sustaining damage. In addition to being robust, tablets must also dissolve sufficiently fast so that the detergent components are released into the wash water as soon as possible at the beginning of the wash cycle.
However, a dichotomy exists in that as compression force is increased, the rate of dissolution of the tablets becomes slower. The present invention therefore seeks to find a balance between tablet robustness and tablet dissolution.
Sohrrions to this problem, as seen in the prior art, have included compressing the tablets with low compression pressure. However tablets made in this way, although having a fast relative dissolution rate, tend to crumble, becoming damaged and unacceptable to the a disintegrating agent or an effervescent agent. Suitable disintegrating agents include agents that swell on contact with water or facilitate water influx and/or efflux by forming channels in the detergent tablet. Any known disintegrating or effervescing agent suitable for use in laundry or dishwashing applications is envisaged for use herein.
Suitable disintegrating agent include starch, starch derivatives such as Arboce~(tradename), TM
Vivapui ~radename) both available from Rettenmaier, Nymcel (tradename) available from Metsa-serla , alginates, acetate trihydrate, burkeite, monohydrated carbonate formula Na2C03.H20, hydrated STPP with a phase I content of at least about 40%
, carboxymethylcellulose (CMC), CMC-based polymers, sodium acetate, aluminium oxide. Suitable effervescing agents are those that produce a gas on contact with water.
Suitable effervesing agents may be oxygen, nitrogen dioxide or carbon dioxide evolving species. Examples of preferred effervescent agents may be selected from the group consisting of perborate, percarbonate, carbonate, bicarbonate in combination with inorganic acids such as sulphamic acid and/or carboxylic acids such as citric, malic and malefic acid and mixtures thereof The components of the detergent composition are mixed together by for example premixing dry components and admixing, preferably by spray-on, the adhesive and other liquid components. The components of the second and optional subsequent phases are then compressed to form one or more layers or are fed into and retained within the mould provided by the first phase.
The preferred mould embodiments of the present invention comprises two phases;
a first and a second phase. The first phase will normally comprise one mould and the second phase will normally consist of a single detergent active composition. However, it is envisaged that the first phase may comprise more than one mould and the second phase may be prepared from more than one detergent active composition. Furthermore, it is also envisaged that the second phase may comprise more than one detergent active composition contained within one mould. It is also envisaged that several detergent active compositions are contained in separate moulds. In this way potentially chemically Detergent Tablet Technical Field The present invention relates to mufti-phase detergent tablets. In particular, it relates to mufti-phase detergent tablets having improved robustness and product integrity together with excellent dissolution characteristics.
Background Detergent compositions in tablet form are known in the art. It is understood that detergent compositions in tablet form hold several advantages over detergent compositions in particulate form, such as ease of dosing, handling, transportation and storage.
Detergent tablets are most commonly prepared by pre-mixing components of a detergent composition and forming the Ime-mixed detergent components into a tablet using any suitable equipment, preferably a tablet press. Tablets are typically formed by compression of the components of the detergent composition so that the tablets produced arc sufficiently robust to be able to withstand handling and transportation without sustaining damage. In addition to being robust, tablets must also dissolve ~ciently fast so that the detergent components are released into the wash water as soon as possible at the beginning of the wash cycle.
However, a dichotomy exists in that as compression force is increased, the rate of dissolution of the tablets becomes slower. The present invention therefore seeks to find a balance between tablet robustness and tablet dissolution.
Solutions to this problem, as seen in the prior art, have included compressing the tablets with low compression pressure. However tablets made in this way, although having a fast relative dissolution rate, tend to crumble, becoming damaged and unacceptable to the consumer. Other solutions have included preparing tablets using a high relative compression pressure, in order to achieve the required level of robustness, and comprising a dissolution aid, such as an effervescent agent.
Multi-phase detergent tablets described in the prior art are prepared by compressing a first composition in a tablet press to form a substantially planar first layer. A further detergent composition is then delivered to the tablet press on top of the first layer. This second composition is then compressed to form another substantially planar second layer. Thus the first layer is generally subjected to more than one compression as it is also compressed during the compression of the second composition. Typically the first and second compression forces are in the same order of magnitude. The Applicant has found that where this is the case, because the compression force must be sufficient to bind the first and second compositions together, the force used in both the first and second compression steps must be in the range of from about 4,000 to about 20,000 kg (assuming a tablet cross-section of about 10 cmz). A consequence of this is a slower rate of tablet dissolution. Other multi-phase tablets exhibiting differential dissolution are prepared such that the second layer is compressed at a lower force than the first layer.
However, although the dissolution rate of the second layer is improved, the second layer is soft in comparison to the first layer and is therefore vulnerable to damage caused by handling and transportation. Moreover, the two layers are found to have poor adhesion characteristics and can break up under the relatively mild stress conditions found in storage or transportation.
The present invention therefore provides mufti-phase detergent tablets for use in automatic dishwashing, laundry, etc and which have improved integrity and robustness together with excellent dissolution characteristics.
Summary of the Invention n According to a first aspect of the invention, there is provided a mufti-phase detergent tablet for use in a washing machine, the tablet comprising a first phase in adhesive contact with one or more second phases, at least one second phase being in the form of a compressed particulate solid incorporating liquid adhesive and having an average porosity of less than about 0.15 ml/g, preferably less than about 0.13 ml/g and more preferably less than about 0.11 ml/g.
Porosity can be measured by known methods including image analysis, mercury porosimetry, determination and comparison of volume and mass, determination and comparison of surface area and diameter, gas chromatography, x-ray small angle scattering and displacement methods. A preferred method of measuring porosity is the mercury porosimetry method, average porosity being defined as the total intrusion volume of the particulate solid (prior to introduction of the liquid adhesive) for pore volumes below 30pm. Preferably, the compressed particulate solid has an average porosity of less than about 0.09 ml/g, more preferably less than about 0.07 ml/g and especially less than about 0.05 ml/g.
In preferred embodiments, the adhesive is liquid or fluid at or close to ambient temperatures (preferably 28°C, more preferably 25°C and above).
It is also preferred herein to use adhesives that are water-frangible or water-sensitive, for example, adhesives based on water-soluble or water-emulsifiable polymers. It will also be understood that water and other solvent-based adhesives, for example, adhesives comprising aqueous polymeric solutions or emulsions, are also suitable for use herein.
However, the preferred adhesives are either water-free or are used in conjunction with a water-sink (for example, anhydrous builder salts) in order to minimise the free moisture content of the final tablet compositions which is preferably less than about 1 % by weight.
The liquid adhesive is incorporated by post-addition, preferably as a spray-on, to the particulate solid prior to compression. The level of liquid adhesive is preferably from about 0.1% to about 3%, more preferably from about 0.5% to about 1,5% by weight of the second phase particulate solid.
WO 00!04116 PCT/US99/15490 In preferred embodiments, the first phase also takes the form of a compressed particulate solid, the average porosity of which is greater than that of the second phase particulate solid by at least 10%, preferably at least 30%, and more preferably at least 60%, this being valuable for optimum adhesion. In general, the average porosity of the first phase is at least 0.1 ml/g, preferably at least 0.12 ml/g, more preferably at least 0.14 ml/g, especially at least 0.16 ml/g and more especially at least 0.18 ml/g.
Preferred adhesives for use herein are selected from water-soluble poly(CZ-C4)-alkylene oxide polymers and copolymers, poly(CZ-C4)-alkoxylated nonionic surfactants, aqueous polymeric solutions and emulsions, and mixtures thereof. Of these, highly preferred from the viewpoint of optimum product integrity, robustness and dissolution characteristics are the polyethylene glycols having an average molecular weight in the range from about 200 to about 700, preferably from about 250 to about 600, although polyethylene glycols of a somewhat higher average molecular weight, for example up to about 900, can be used if the detergent tablet is prepared at a temperature slightly above ambient, for example up to about 28°C.
Thus according to second aspect of the invention, there is provided a mufti-phase detergent tablet for use in a washing machine, the tablet comprising a first phase in adhesive contact with one or more second phases, at least one second phase being in the form of a compressed particulate solid incorporating liquid adhesive selected from polyethylene glycols having an average molecular weight in the range from about 200 to about 700.
The detergent tablets herein comprise at least one first phase in adhesive contact with one or more second phases (sometimes referred to herein as 'optional subsequent phases').
In preferred embodiments, the first phase is a compressed shaped body prepared at an applied compression pressure of at least about 250 kgJcmZ, preferably at least about 350 kg/cm2 (3.43 kN/cm2 or 34.3 MPa), more preferably from about 400 to about 2000 kg/cm~, and especially from about 600 to about 1200 kg/cmz (compression pressure herein is the applied force divided by the cross-sectional area of the tablet in a plane transverse to the applied force - in effect, the transverse cross-sectional area of the die of the rotary press). The second phase, on the other hand, is preferably formed at a compression pressure of less than about 350 kg/cm', preferably in the range from about 40 kg/cmz to about 300 kg/cm~ and more preferably from about 70 to about 270 kg/cmZ.
In preferred embodiments, moreover, the first phase is formed by compression at a pressure greater than that applied to the second phase. In these embodiments, the compression pressures applied to the first and second phases will generally be in a ratio of at least about 1.2:1, preferably at least about 2:1, more preferably at least about 4:1.
Preferred herein from the viewpoint of providing optimum interphase adhesivity and robustness are tablets and processes wherein the liquid adhesive is incorporated by post-addition to the particulate solid of the second phase prior to compression thereof. Post-addition preferably takes the form of a spray-on of the liquid adhesive to the particulate solid and normally will take place as a final step shortly before compression, preferably within about 1 day, and more preferably within about 12 hours.
Thus, according to a further aspect of the invention, there is provided a mufti-phase detergent tablet for use in a washing machine, the tablet comprising a first phase in adhesive contact with one or more second phases, at least one second phase being in the form of a compressed particulate solid incorporating liquid adhesive and wherein the liquid adhesive is incorporated by post-addition, preferably as a spray-on, to the particulate solid prior to compression.
Although simple mufti-layer tablets are envisaged for use herein, prefeaed from the viewpoint of optimum product integrity, strength (measured for example by the Child Bite Strength [CBS] test) and dissolution characteristics are tablets wherein the first phase is in the form of a shaped body having at least one mould therein; and the second phase is in the form of a particulate solid compressed within said mould. Such embodiments are sometimes referred to herein as 'mould' embodiments. The tablets of the invention, both mould embodiments and otherwise, will preferably have a CBS of at least about 8kg, preferably greater than about lOkg, more preferably greater than about l2kg, and especially greater than about l4kg, CBS being measured per the US
Consumer Product Safety Commission Test Specification.
It is also preferred that the first and second phases herein are in a relatively high weight ratio to one another, for example at least about 6:1, preferably at least about 10:1; also that the tablet composition contain one or more detergent actives (for example enzymes, bleaches, bleach activators, bleach catalysts, surfactants, chelating agents etc) which is predominantly concentrated in the second phase, for example, at least about 50%, preferably at least about 60%, especially about 80% by weight of the active (based on the total weight of the active in tablet) is in the second phase of the tablet.
Again, such compositions are optimum for tablet strength, dissolution, cleaning, and pH
regulation characteristics providing, for example, tablet compositions capable of dissolving in the wash liquor so as to deliver at least 50%, preferably at least 60%, and more preferably at least 80% by weight of the detergent active to the wash liquor within 10, 5, 4 or even 3 minutes of the start of the wash process.
Detailed Description of the Invention It is an object of the present invention to provide a detergent tablet that is not only sufficiently robust to withstand handling and transportation, but also at least a significant portion of which dissolves rapidly in the wash water providing rapid delivery of detergent active. It is preferred that at least one phase of the tablet dissolves in the wash water within the first ten minutes, preferably five minutes, more preferably four minutes of the wash cycle of an automatic dishwashing or laundry washing machine.
Preferably the washing machine is either an automatic dishwashing or laundry washing machine.
The time within which the mufti-phase tablet or a phase thereof or a detergent active component dissolves is determined according to DIN 44990 using a dishwashing machine available from Bosch on the normal 65°C washing program with water hardness at 18°H using a minimum of six replicates or a sufficient number to ensure reproducibility.
The _multi-phase detergent tablet of the present invention comprises a first phase, a second and optional subsequent phases. The first phase is in the form of a shaped body of detergent composition comprising one or more detergent components as described below. Preferred detergent components include, builder, bleach, enzymes and surfactant.
The components of the detergent composition are mixed together by, for example admixing dry components or spraying-on liquid components. The components are then formed into a first phase using any suitable equipment, but preferably by compression, for example in a tablet press. Alternatively, the first phase can be prepared by extrusion, casting, etc.
In mould embodiments, the first phase is prepared such that it comprises at least one mould in the surface of the shaped body. In a preferred embodiment the mould is created using a specially designed tablet press wherein the surface of the punch that contacts the detergent composition is shaped such that when it contacts and presses the detergent composition it presses a mould, or multiple moulds into the first phase of the mufti-phase detergent tablet. Preferably, the mould will have an inwardly concave or generally concave surface to provide improved adhesion to the second phase.
The tablets of the invention also include one or more additional phases prepared from a composition or compositions which comprise one or more detergent components as described below. At least one phase (herein referred to as a second phase) preferably takes the form of a particulate solid (which term encompasses powders, granules, agglomerates, and other particulate solids including mixtures thereof with liquid binders, meltable solids, spray-ons, etc) compressed either as a layer or into/within the one or more moulds of the first phase of the detergent tablet such that the second phase itself takes the form of a shaped body. Preferred detergent components include builders, colourants, binders, surfactants, disrupting agents and enzymes, in particular amylase and protease enzymes. In another preferred aspect of the present invention the second and optional subsequent phases comprise a disrupting agent that may be selected from either w0 00!04116 PCT/US99/15490 a disintegrating agent or an effervescent agent. Suitable disintegrating agents include agents that swell on contact with water or facilitate water influx and/or efflux by forming channels in the detergent tablet. Any known disintegrating or effervescing agent suitable for use in laundry or dishwashing applications is envisaged for use herein.
Suitable disintegrating agent include starch, starch derivatives such as Arbocei (tradename), Vivapur (tradename) both available from Rettenmaier, Nymcel (tradename) available from Metsa-serla , alginates, acetate trihydrate, burkeite, monohydrated carbonate formula Na~C03.H20, hydrated STPP with a phase I content of at least about 40%
, carboxymethylcellulose (CMC), CMC-based polymers, sodium acetate, aluminium oxide. Suitable efferrrescing agents are those that produce a gas on contact with water.
Suitable effervesing agents may be oxygen, nitrogen dioxide or carbon dioxide evolving species. Examples of preferred effervescent agents may be selected from the group consisting of perborate, percarbonate, carbonate, bicarbonate in combination with inorganic acids such as sulphamic acid and/or carboxylic acids such as citric, malic and malefic acid and mixtures thereof The components of the detergent composition are mixed together by for example premixing dry components and admixing, preferably by spray-on, the adhesive and other liquid components. The components of the second and optional subsequent phases are then compressed to form one or more layers or are fed into and retained within the mould provided by the first phase.
The preferred mould embodiments of the present invention comprises two phases;
a first and a second phase. The first phase will normally comprise one mould and the second phase will normally consist of a single detergent active composition. However, it is envisaged that the first phase may comprise more than one mould and the second phase may be prepared from more than one detergent active composition. Furthermore, it is also envisaged that the second phase may comprise more than one detergent active composition contained within one mould. It is also envisaged that several detergent active compositions are contained in separate moulds. In this way potentially chemically sensitive detergent components can be separated in order to avoid any loss in performance caused by components reacting together and potentially becoming inactive or exhausted.
In a preferred aspect of the present invention the first, second and/or optional subsequent phases may comprise a binder. Where present the binder is selected from the group consisting of organic polymers, for example polyethylene and/or polypropylene glycols having an average molecular weight of from about 1000 to about 12000, especially those of molecular weight 4000, 6000 and 9000, polyvinyl pyrolindone (PVP), especially PVP
of molecular weight 90 000, polyacrylates, sugars and sugar derivatives, starch and starch derivatives, for example hydroxy propyl methyl cellulose (HPMC) and carboxy methyl cellulose (CMC); and inorganic polymers, such as hexametaphosphate. The polyethyleneglycol binders are highly preferred herein. The combination of liquid adhesive and binder is particularly valuable from the viewpoint of providing improved interphase adhesivity and robustness.
In a preferred aspect of the present invention the first phase weighs greater than Sg.
More preferably the first phase weighs from l Og to 30g, even more preferably from 15g to 25g and most preferably form 18g to 24g. The second and optional subsequent phases weigh less than 4g. More preferably the second and/or optional subsequent phases weigh between lg and 3.Sg, most preferably from 1.3g to 2.Sg.
The components of the second and optional subsequent phases are compressed, especially in the mould embodiments, at a much lower compression force relative to the compression force normally used to prepare high strength tablets. At the same time, the tablets of the invention display excellent adherence between phases and product integrity.
Thus an advantage of the present invention is that because a lower compression force is used heat, force or chemically sensitive detergent components can be incorporated into the detergent tablet without sustaining the consequential loss in performance usually encountered when incorporating such components into tablets.
WO 00!04116 PCT/US99115490 Yet another advantage of the present invention is the ability to prepare a mufti-phase detergent tablet wherein one phase can be designed to dissolve, preferably significantly before another phase. In the present invention it is preferred that the second and optional subsequent phases) dissolves before the first phase. According to the preferred weight ranges described above, it preferable that the first phase dissolves in from 5 to 20 minutes, more preferably from 10 to 15 minutes and the second and/or optional subsequent phases dissolve in less than 5 minutes, more preferably less than 4.5 minutes, most preferably less than 4 minutes. The time in which the first, second and/or optional subsequent phase dissolve are independent from each other. Thus in a particularly preferred aspect of the present invention differential dissolution of the phases is achieved. A particular benefit of being able to achieve differential dissolution of the mufti-phase detergent tablet is that a component that is chemically inactivated by the presence of another component can be separated into a different phase. In this case the component that is inactivated is preferably located in the second and optional subsequent phase(s).
The mufti-phase detergent tablets are prepared using any suitable tabletting equipment.
Preferably the tablets are prepared by compression in a tablet press capable of preparing a tablet comprising a mould. In a particularly preferred embodiment of the present invention the first phase is prepared using a specially designed tablet press.
The punches) of this tablet press are modified so that the surface of the punch that contacts the detergent composition has a convex surface.
A first detergent composition is delivered into the die of the tablet press and the punch is lowered to contact and then compress the detergent composition to form a first phase.
The first detergent composition is compressed using an applied pressure of at least 250 kg/cm2, preferably between 350 and 2000 kg/cmZ, more preferably 500 to 1500 kg/cm~, most preferably 600 to 1200 kg/cm=. The punch is then elevated, exposing the first phase containing a mould. A second and optional subsequent detergent compositions) is then a . ,.
WO OOI041 i 6 PCTNS99/15490 delivered into the mould. The specially designed tablet press punch is then lowered a second time to lightly compress the second and optional subsequent detergent compositions) to form the second and optional subsequent phase(s). In another embodiment of the present invention where an optional subsequent phase is present the optional subsequent phase is prepared in an optional subsequent compression step substantially similar to the second compression step described above. The second and optional subsequent detergent composidon(s) is compressed at a pressure of preferably less than 350 kg/cmz, more preferably from 40 to 300 kglcm~, most preferably from 70 to 270 kg/cmZ. After compression of the second detergent composition, the punch is elevated a second time and the mufti-phase detergent tablet is ejected from the tablet press. Mufti-layer tablets without moulds can be prepared in a similar manner except using a tablet punch having a planar surface.
The first and second and or optional subsequent phases of the mufti-phase detergent tablet described herein are prepared by compression of one or mere compositions comprising detergent active components. Suitably, the compositions used in any of these phases may include a variety of different detergent components including builder compounds, surfactants, enzymes, bleaching agents, alkalinity sources, colourants, perfume, lime soap dispersants, organic polymeric compounds including polymeric dye transfer inhibiting agents, crystal growth inhibitors, heavy metal ion sequestrants, metal ion salts, enzyme stabilisers, corrosion inhibitors, suds suppressers, solvents, fabric softening agents, optical brighteners and hydrotxopes. In the following, the proportions of these active components are given by weight of the corresponding composition of active detergent components, unless specified otherwise.
Highly preferred detergent components of the first phase include a builder compound, a surfactant, an enzyme and a bleaching agent. Highly preferred detergent components of the second phase include builder, enzymes and disrupting agent.

As described above, when, in the preferred embodiments, and x is greater than 2, R3 may be the same or different. That is, R3 may vary between any of the alkyleneoxy units as described above. For instance, if x is 3, R3may be be selected to form ethyleneoxy(EO) or propyleneoxy(PO) and may vary in order of (EO)(PO)(EO), (EO)(EO)(PO);
(EO)(EO)(EO); (PO)(EOXPO); (POXPO)(EO) and (PO)(PO)(PO). Of course, the integer three is chosen for example only and the variation may be much larger with a higher integer value for x and include, for example, mulitple (EO) units and a much small number of (PO) units.
Particularly preferred surfactants as described above include those that have a low cloud point of less than 20°C. These low cloud point surfactants may then be employed in conjunction with a high cloud point surfactant as described in detail below for superior grease cleaning benefits.

The ether-capped poly(oxyalkylated) alcohol surfactants comprise three general components, namely a linear or branched alcohol, an alkylene oxide and an alkyl ether end cap. The alkyl ether end cap and the alcohol serve as a hydrophobic, oil-soluble portion of the molecule while the alkylene oxide group forms the hydrophilic, water-soluble portion of the molecule.
These surfactants exhibit significant improvements in spotting and filming characteristics and removal of greasy soils, when used in conjunction with high cloud point surfactants, relative to conventional surfactants.
Generally speaking, the ether-capped poly(oxyalkylene) alcohol surfactants may be produced by reacting an aliphatic alcohol with an epoxide to form an ether which is then reacted with a base to form a second epoxide. The second epoxide is then reacted with an alkoxylated alcohol to form the novel compounds of the present invention.

"Cloud point", as used herein, is a well known property of nonionic surfactants which is the result of the surfactant becoming less soluble with increasing temperature, the temperature at which the appearance of a second phase is observable is referred to as the "cloud point" (See Kirk Othmer's Encyclopedia of Chemical Technology, 3'~ Ed.
Vol.

WO 00!04116 PCT/US99/15490 incorporated directly into the composition_ Compositions containing mixtures of a hydrogen peroxide source and organic peroxyacid precursor in combination with a preformed organic peroxyacid are also envisaged.
Inornanic pgl~r ydrate bleaches Examples of inorganic perhydrate salts include perborate, percarbonate, perphosphate, persulfate and persilicate salts. The inorganic perhydrate salts are normally the alkali metal salts. The inorganic perhydrate salt can be included as the crystalline solid without additional protection. For certain perhydrate salts however, a coated form of the material is used in order to provide better storage stability.
Sodium perborate can be in the form of the monohydrate of nominal formula NaB02H202 or the tetrahydrate NaB02H202.3H20. Alkali metal percarbonates, particularly sodium percarbonate are preferred perhydrates for inclusion herein. Sodium percarbonate is an addition compound having a formula corresponding to 2Na2C03.3H202, and is available commercially as a crystalline solid. Sodium percarbonate, being a hydrogen peroxide addition compound tends on dissolution to release the hydrogen peroxide quite rapidly which can increase the tendency for localised high bleach concentrations to arise. The percarbonate is most preferably incorporated into such compositions in a coated form which provides in-product stability.
A suitable coating material providing in product stability comprises mixed salt of a water soluble alkali metal sulphate and carbonate. Such coatings together with coating processes have previously been described in GB-A-1,466,799. The weight ratio of the mixed salt coating material to percarbonate lies in the range from 1 : 200 to 1 : 4, more preferably from 1 : 99 to 1 : 9, and most preferably from 1 : 49 to 1 : 19.
Preferably, the mixed salt is of sodium sulphate and sodium carbonate which has the general formula Na2S04.n.Na2C03 wherein n is from 0.1 to 3, preferably n is from 0.3 to 1.0 and most preferably n is from 0.2 to 0.5.

Controlled rate of release - means A means may be provided for controlling the rate of release of bleaching agent, particularly oxygen bleach to the wash solution.
Means for controlling the rate of release of the bleach may provide for controlled release of peroxide species to the wash solution. Such means could, for example, include $5 controlling the release of any inorganic perhydrate salt, acting as a hydrogen peroxide source, to the wash solution.
Suitable controlled release means can include confining the bleach to one portion of the composition. Another mechanism for controlling the rate of release of bleach may be by coating the bleach with a coating designed to provide the controlled release.
The coating may therefore, for example, comprise a poorly water soluble material, or be a coating of sufficient thickness that the kinetics of dissolution of the thick coating provide the controlled rate of release.
The coating material may be applied using various methods. Any coating material is typically present at a weight ratio of coating material to bleach of from 1:99 to 1:2, preferably from 1:49 to 1:9. Suitable coating materials include triglycerides (e.g.
partially) hydrogenated vegetable oil, soy bean oil, cotton seed oil) mono or diglycerides, microcrystalline waxes, gelatin, cellulose, fatty acids and any mixtures thereof.

Copolymers of malefic anhydride with ethylene, methylvinyl ether or methacrylic acid, the malefic anhydride constituting at least 20 mole percent of the polymer are further examples of polymeric materials useful as binder agents. These polymeric materials may be used as such or in combination with solvents such as water, propylene glycol and the above mentioned C10-C20 alcohol ethoxylates containing from 5 - 100 moles of ethylene oxide per mole. Further examples of binders include the C 10-C20 mono- and diglycerol ethers and also the C 1 p-C20 fatty acids.
Cellulose derivatives such as methylcellulose, carboxymethylcellulose and hydroxyethylcellulose, and homo- or co-polymeric polycarboxylic acids or their salts are other examples of binders suitable for use herein.
One method for applying the coating material involves agglomeration. Preferred agglomeration processes include the use of any of the organic binder materials described hereinabove. Any conventional agglomerator/mixer may be used including, but not limited to pan, rotary drum and vertical blender types. Molten coating compositions may also be applied either by being poured onto, or spray atomized onto a moving bed of bleaching agent.
Other means of providing the required controlled release include mechanical means for altering the physical characteristics of the bleach to control its solubility and rate of release. Suitable protocols could include compression, mechanical injection, manual injection, and adjustment of the solubility of the bleach compound by selection of particle size of any particulate component.
WO 00/04116 PCT/US99/15d90 Whilst the choice of particle size will depend both on the composition of the particulate component, and the desire to meet the desired controlled release kinetics, it is desirable that the particle size should be more than 500 micrometers, preferably having an average particle diameter of from 800 to 1200 micrometers.
Additional protocols for providing the means of controlled release include the suitable choice of any other components of the composition such that when the composition is introduced to the wash solution the ionic strength environment therein provided enables the required controlled release kinetics to be achieved.

Likewise, the oxidation state of the manganese canon during the catalytic process is not known with certainty, and may be the (+II), (+III), (+IV) or (+V) valence state. Due to the ligands' possible six points of attachment to the manganese cation, it may be reasonably speculated that multi-nuclear species and/or "cage" structures may exist in the aqueous bleaching media.

Techni~,al Field The present invention relates to mufti-phase detergent tablets. In particular, it relates to mufti-phase detergent tablets having improved robustness and product integrity together with excellent dissolution characteristics.
Background Detergent compositions in tablet form are known in the art. It is understood that detergent compositions in tablet form hold several advantages over detergent compositions in particulate fon~, such as ease of dosing, handling, transportation and storage.
Detergent tablets are most commonly prepared by pre-mixing components of a detergent composition and forming the pre-mixed detergent components into a tablet using any suitable equipment, preferably a tablet press. Tablets are typically formed by compression of the comporunts of the detergent composition so that the tablets produced are su~ciently robust to be able to withstand handling and transportation without sustaining damage. In addition to being robust, tablets must also dissolve sufficiently fast so that the detergent components are released into the wash water as soon as possible at the beginning of the wash cycle.
However, a dichotomy exists in that as compression force is increased, the rate of dissolution of the tablets becomes slower. The present invention therefore seeks to find a balance between tablet robustness and tablet dissolution.
Sohrrions to this problem, as seen in the prior art, have included compressing the tablets with low compression pressure. However tablets made in this way, although having a fast relative dissolution rate, tend to crumble, becoming damaged and unacceptable to the a disintegrating agent or an effervescent agent. Suitable disintegrating agents include agents that swell on contact with water or facilitate water influx and/or efflux by forming channels in the detergent tablet. Any known disintegrating or effervescing agent suitable for use in laundry or dishwashing applications is envisaged for use herein.
Suitable disintegrating agent include starch, starch derivatives such as Arboce~(tradename), TM
Vivapui ~radename) both available from Rettenmaier, Nymcel (tradename) available from Metsa-serla , alginates, acetate trihydrate, burkeite, monohydrated carbonate formula Na2C03.H20, hydrated STPP with a phase I content of at least about 40%
, carboxymethylcellulose (CMC), CMC-based polymers, sodium acetate, aluminium oxide. Suitable effervescing agents are those that produce a gas on contact with water.
Suitable effervesing agents may be oxygen, nitrogen dioxide or carbon dioxide evolving species. Examples of preferred effervescent agents may be selected from the group consisting of perborate, percarbonate, carbonate, bicarbonate in combination with inorganic acids such as sulphamic acid and/or carboxylic acids such as citric, malic and malefic acid and mixtures thereof The components of the detergent composition are mixed together by for example premixing dry components and admixing, preferably by spray-on, the adhesive and other liquid components. The components of the second and optional subsequent phases are then compressed to form one or more layers or are fed into and retained within the mould provided by the first phase.
The preferred mould embodiments of the present invention comprises two phases;
a first and a second phase. The first phase will normally comprise one mould and the second phase will normally consist of a single detergent active composition. However, it is envisaged that the first phase may comprise more than one mould and the second phase may be prepared from more than one detergent active composition. Furthermore, it is also envisaged that the second phase may comprise more than one detergent active composition contained within one mould. It is also envisaged that several detergent active compositions are contained in separate moulds. In this way potentially chemically Detergent Tablet Technical Field The present invention relates to mufti-phase detergent tablets. In particular, it relates to mufti-phase detergent tablets having improved robustness and product integrity together with excellent dissolution characteristics.
Background Detergent compositions in tablet form are known in the art. It is understood that detergent compositions in tablet form hold several advantages over detergent compositions in particulate form, such as ease of dosing, handling, transportation and storage.
Detergent tablets are most commonly prepared by pre-mixing components of a detergent composition and forming the Ime-mixed detergent components into a tablet using any suitable equipment, preferably a tablet press. Tablets are typically formed by compression of the components of the detergent composition so that the tablets produced arc sufficiently robust to be able to withstand handling and transportation without sustaining damage. In addition to being robust, tablets must also dissolve ~ciently fast so that the detergent components are released into the wash water as soon as possible at the beginning of the wash cycle.
However, a dichotomy exists in that as compression force is increased, the rate of dissolution of the tablets becomes slower. The present invention therefore seeks to find a balance between tablet robustness and tablet dissolution.
Solutions to this problem, as seen in the prior art, have included compressing the tablets with low compression pressure. However tablets made in this way, although having a fast relative dissolution rate, tend to crumble, becoming damaged and unacceptable to the consumer. Other solutions have included preparing tablets using a high relative compression pressure, in order to achieve the required level of robustness, and comprising a dissolution aid, such as an effervescent agent.
Multi-phase detergent tablets described in the prior art are prepared by compressing a first composition in a tablet press to form a substantially planar first layer. A further detergent composition is then delivered to the tablet press on top of the first layer. This second composition is then compressed to form another substantially planar second layer. Thus the first layer is generally subjected to more than one compression as it is also compressed during the compression of the second composition. Typically the first and second compression forces are in the same order of magnitude. The Applicant has found that where this is the case, because the compression force must be sufficient to bind the first and second compositions together, the force used in both the first and second compression steps must be in the range of from about 4,000 to about 20,000 kg (assuming a tablet cross-section of about 10 cmz). A consequence of this is a slower rate of tablet dissolution. Other multi-phase tablets exhibiting differential dissolution are prepared such that the second layer is compressed at a lower force than the first layer.
However, although the dissolution rate of the second layer is improved, the second layer is soft in comparison to the first layer and is therefore vulnerable to damage caused by handling and transportation. Moreover, the two layers are found to have poor adhesion characteristics and can break up under the relatively mild stress conditions found in storage or transportation.
The present invention therefore provides mufti-phase detergent tablets for use in automatic dishwashing, laundry, etc and which have improved integrity and robustness together with excellent dissolution characteristics.
Summary of the Invention n According to a first aspect of the invention, there is provided a mufti-phase detergent tablet for use in a washing machine, the tablet comprising a first phase in adhesive contact with one or more second phases, at least one second phase being in the form of a compressed particulate solid incorporating liquid adhesive and having an average porosity of less than about 0.15 ml/g, preferably less than about 0.13 ml/g and more preferably less than about 0.11 ml/g.
Porosity can be measured by known methods including image analysis, mercury porosimetry, determination and comparison of volume and mass, determination and comparison of surface area and diameter, gas chromatography, x-ray small angle scattering and displacement methods. A preferred method of measuring porosity is the mercury porosimetry method, average porosity being defined as the total intrusion volume of the particulate solid (prior to introduction of the liquid adhesive) for pore volumes below 30pm. Preferably, the compressed particulate solid has an average porosity of less than about 0.09 ml/g, more preferably less than about 0.07 ml/g and especially less than about 0.05 ml/g.
In preferred embodiments, the adhesive is liquid or fluid at or close to ambient temperatures (preferably 28°C, more preferably 25°C and above).
It is also preferred herein to use adhesives that are water-frangible or water-sensitive, for example, adhesives based on water-soluble or water-emulsifiable polymers. It will also be understood that water and other solvent-based adhesives, for example, adhesives comprising aqueous polymeric solutions or emulsions, are also suitable for use herein.
However, the preferred adhesives are either water-free or are used in conjunction with a water-sink (for example, anhydrous builder salts) in order to minimise the free moisture content of the final tablet compositions which is preferably less than about 1 % by weight.
The liquid adhesive is incorporated by post-addition, preferably as a spray-on, to the particulate solid prior to compression. The level of liquid adhesive is preferably from about 0.1% to about 3%, more preferably from about 0.5% to about 1,5% by weight of the second phase particulate solid.
WO 00!04116 PCT/US99/15490 In preferred embodiments, the first phase also takes the form of a compressed particulate solid, the average porosity of which is greater than that of the second phase particulate solid by at least 10%, preferably at least 30%, and more preferably at least 60%, this being valuable for optimum adhesion. In general, the average porosity of the first phase is at least 0.1 ml/g, preferably at least 0.12 ml/g, more preferably at least 0.14 ml/g, especially at least 0.16 ml/g and more especially at least 0.18 ml/g.
Preferred adhesives for use herein are selected from water-soluble poly(CZ-C4)-alkylene oxide polymers and copolymers, poly(CZ-C4)-alkoxylated nonionic surfactants, aqueous polymeric solutions and emulsions, and mixtures thereof. Of these, highly preferred from the viewpoint of optimum product integrity, robustness and dissolution characteristics are the polyethylene glycols having an average molecular weight in the range from about 200 to about 700, preferably from about 250 to about 600, although polyethylene glycols of a somewhat higher average molecular weight, for example up to about 900, can be used if the detergent tablet is prepared at a temperature slightly above ambient, for example up to about 28°C.
Thus according to second aspect of the invention, there is provided a mufti-phase detergent tablet for use in a washing machine, the tablet comprising a first phase in adhesive contact with one or more second phases, at least one second phase being in the form of a compressed particulate solid incorporating liquid adhesive selected from polyethylene glycols having an average molecular weight in the range from about 200 to about 700.
The detergent tablets herein comprise at least one first phase in adhesive contact with one or more second phases (sometimes referred to herein as 'optional subsequent phases').
In preferred embodiments, the first phase is a compressed shaped body prepared at an applied compression pressure of at least about 250 kgJcmZ, preferably at least about 350 kg/cm2 (3.43 kN/cm2 or 34.3 MPa), more preferably from about 400 to about 2000 kg/cm~, and especially from about 600 to about 1200 kg/cmz (compression pressure herein is the applied force divided by the cross-sectional area of the tablet in a plane transverse to the applied force - in effect, the transverse cross-sectional area of the die of the rotary press). The second phase, on the other hand, is preferably formed at a compression pressure of less than about 350 kg/cm', preferably in the range from about 40 kg/cmz to about 300 kg/cm~ and more preferably from about 70 to about 270 kg/cmZ.
In preferred embodiments, moreover, the first phase is formed by compression at a pressure greater than that applied to the second phase. In these embodiments, the compression pressures applied to the first and second phases will generally be in a ratio of at least about 1.2:1, preferably at least about 2:1, more preferably at least about 4:1.
Preferred herein from the viewpoint of providing optimum interphase adhesivity and robustness are tablets and processes wherein the liquid adhesive is incorporated by post-addition to the particulate solid of the second phase prior to compression thereof. Post-addition preferably takes the form of a spray-on of the liquid adhesive to the particulate solid and normally will take place as a final step shortly before compression, preferably within about 1 day, and more preferably within about 12 hours.
Thus, according to a further aspect of the invention, there is provided a mufti-phase detergent tablet for use in a washing machine, the tablet comprising a first phase in adhesive contact with one or more second phases, at least one second phase being in the form of a compressed particulate solid incorporating liquid adhesive and wherein the liquid adhesive is incorporated by post-addition, preferably as a spray-on, to the particulate solid prior to compression.
Although simple mufti-layer tablets are envisaged for use herein, prefeaed from the viewpoint of optimum product integrity, strength (measured for example by the Child Bite Strength [CBS] test) and dissolution characteristics are tablets wherein the first phase is in the form of a shaped body having at least one mould therein; and the second phase is in the form of a particulate solid compressed within said mould. Such embodiments are sometimes referred to herein as 'mould' embodiments. The tablets of the invention, both mould embodiments and otherwise, will preferably have a CBS of at least about 8kg, preferably greater than about lOkg, more preferably greater than about l2kg, and especially greater than about l4kg, CBS being measured per the US
Consumer Product Safety Commission Test Specification.
It is also preferred that the first and second phases herein are in a relatively high weight ratio to one another, for example at least about 6:1, preferably at least about 10:1; also that the tablet composition contain one or more detergent actives (for example enzymes, bleaches, bleach activators, bleach catalysts, surfactants, chelating agents etc) which is predominantly concentrated in the second phase, for example, at least about 50%, preferably at least about 60%, especially about 80% by weight of the active (based on the total weight of the active in tablet) is in the second phase of the tablet.
Again, such compositions are optimum for tablet strength, dissolution, cleaning, and pH

It is preferred that at least one phase of the tablet dissolves in the wash water within the first ten minutes, preferably five minutes, more preferably four minutes of the wash cycle of an automatic dishwashing or laundry washing machine.
Preferably the washing machine is either an automatic dishwashing or laundry washing machine.
The time within which the mufti-phase tablet or a phase thereof or a detergent active component dissolves is determined according to DIN 44990 using a dishwashing machine available from Bosch on the normal 65°C washing program with water hardness at 18°H using a minimum of six replicates or a sufficient number to ensure reproducibility.
The _multi-phase detergent tablet of the present invention comprises a first phase, a second and optional subsequent phases. The first phase is in the form of a shaped body of detergent composition comprising one or more detergent components as described below. Preferred detergent components include, builder, bleach, enzymes and surfactant.
The components of the detergent composition are mixed together by, for example admixing dry components or spraying-on liquid components. The components are then formed into a first phase using any suitable equipment, but preferably by compression, for example in a tablet press. Alternatively, the first phase can be prepared by extrusion, casting, etc.
In mould embodiments, the first phase is prepared such that it comprises at least one mould in the surface of the shaped body. In a preferred embodiment the mould is created using a specially designed tablet press wherein the surface of the punch that contacts the detergent composition is shaped such that when it contacts and presses the detergent composition it presses a mould, or multiple moulds into the first phase of the mufti-phase detergent tablet. Preferably, the mould will have an inwardly concave or generally concave surface to provide improved adhesion to the second phase.

At least one phase (herein referred to as a second phase) preferably takes the form of a particulate solid (which term encompasses powders, granules, agglomerates, and other particulate solids including mixtures thereof with liquid binders, meltable solids, spray-ons, etc) compressed either as a layer or into/within the one or more moulds of the first phase of the detergent tablet such that the second phase itself takes the form of a shaped body. Preferred detergent components include builders, colourants, binders, surfactants, disrupting agents and enzymes, in particular amylase and protease enzymes. In another preferred aspect of the present invention the second and optional subsequent phases comprise a disrupting agent that may be selected from either w0 00!04116 PCT/US99/15490 a disintegrating agent or an effervescent agent. Suitable disintegrating agents include agents that swell on contact with water or facilitate water influx and/or efflux by forming channels in the detergent tablet.

, carboxymethylcellulose (CMC), CMC-based polymers, sodium acetate, aluminium oxide. Suitable efferrrescing agents are those that produce a gas on contact with water.
Suitable effervesing agents may be oxygen, nitrogen dioxide or carbon dioxide evolving species. Examples of preferred effervescent agents may be selected from the group consisting of perborate, percarbonate, carbonate, bicarbonate in combination with inorganic acids such as sulphamic acid and/or carboxylic acids such as citric, malic and malefic acid and mixtures thereof The components of the detergent composition are mixed together by for example premixing dry components and admixing, preferably by spray-on, the adhesive and other liquid components. The components of the second and optional subsequent phases are then compressed to form one or more layers or are fed into and retained within the mould provided by the first phase.
The preferred mould embodiments of the present invention comprises two phases;
a first and a second phase. The first phase will normally comprise one mould and the second phase will normally consist of a single detergent active composition. However, it is envisaged that the first phase may comprise more than one mould and the second phase may be prepared from more than one detergent active composition. Furthermore, it is also envisaged that the second phase may comprise more than one detergent active composition contained within one mould. It is also envisaged that several detergent active compositions are contained in separate moulds. In this way potentially chemically sensitive detergent components can be separated in order to avoid any loss in performance caused by components reacting together and potentially becoming inactive or exhausted.
In a preferred aspect of the present invention the first, second and/or optional subsequent phases may comprise a binder. Where present the binder is selected from the group consisting of organic polymers, for example polyethylene and/or polypropylene glycols having an average molecular weight of from about 1000 to about 12000, especially those of molecular weight 4000, 6000 and 9000, polyvinyl pyrolindone (PVP), especially PVP
of molecular weight 90 000, polyacrylates, sugars and sugar derivatives, starch and starch derivatives, for example hydroxy propyl methyl cellulose (HPMC) and carboxy methyl cellulose (CMC); and inorganic polymers, such as hexametaphosphate. The polyethyleneglycol binders are highly preferred herein. The combination of liquid adhesive and binder is particularly valuable from the viewpoint of providing improved interphase adhesivity and robustness.
In a preferred aspect of the present invention the first phase weighs greater than Sg.
More preferably the first phase weighs from l Og to 30g, even more preferably from 15g to 25g and most preferably form 18g to 24g. The second and optional subsequent phases weigh less than 4g. More preferably the second and/or optional subsequent phases weigh between lg and 3.Sg, most preferably from 1.3g to 2.Sg.
The components of the second and optional subsequent phases are compressed, especially in the mould embodiments, at a much lower compression force relative to the compression force normally used to prepare high strength tablets. At the same time, the tablets of the invention display excellent adherence between phases and product integrity.
Thus an advantage of the present invention is that because a lower compression force is used heat, force or chemically sensitive detergent components can be incorporated into the detergent tablet without sustaining the consequential loss in performance usually encountered when incorporating such components into tablets.
WO 00!04116 PCT/US99115490 Yet another advantage of the present invention is the ability to prepare a mufti-phase detergent tablet wherein one phase can be designed to dissolve, preferably significantly before another phase. In the present invention it is preferred that the second and optional subsequent phases) dissolves before the first phase. According to the preferred weight ranges described above, it preferable that the first phase dissolves in from 5 to 20 minutes, more preferably from 10 to 15 minutes and the second and/or optional subsequent phases dissolve in less than 5 minutes, more preferably less than 4.5 minutes, most preferably less than 4 minutes. The time in which the first, second and/or optional subsequent phase dissolve are independent from each other. Thus in a particularly preferred aspect of the present invention differential dissolution of the phases is achieved. A particular benefit of being able to achieve differential dissolution of the mufti-phase detergent tablet is that a component that is chemically inactivated by the presence of another component can be separated into a different phase. In this case the component that is inactivated is preferably located in the second and optional subsequent phase(s).
The mufti-phase detergent tablets are prepared using any suitable tabletting equipment.
Preferably the tablets are prepared by compression in a tablet press capable of preparing a tablet comprising a mould. In a particularly preferred embodiment of the present invention the first phase is prepared using a specially designed tablet press.
The punches) of this tablet press are modified so that the surface of the punch that contacts the detergent composition has a convex surface.
A first detergent composition is delivered into the die of the tablet press and the punch is lowered to contact and then compress the detergent composition to form a first phase.
The first detergent composition is compressed using an applied pressure of at least 250 kg/cm2, preferably between 350 and 2000 kg/cmZ, more preferably 500 to 1500 kg/cm~, most preferably 600 to 1200 kg/cm=. The punch is then elevated, exposing the first phase containing a mould. A second and optional subsequent detergent compositions) is then a . ,.
WO OOI041 i 6 PCTNS99/15490 delivered into the mould. The specially designed tablet press punch is then lowered a second time to lightly compress the second and optional subsequent detergent compositions) to form the second and optional subsequent phase(s). In another embodiment of the present invention where an optional subsequent phase is present the optional subsequent phase is prepared in an optional subsequent compression step substantially similar to the second compression step described above. The second and optional subsequent detergent composidon(s) is compressed at a pressure of preferably less than 350 kg/cmz, more preferably from 40 to 300 kglcm~, most preferably from 70 to 270 kg/cmZ.

Detergent components suitable for use herein are described in more detail in the Appendix to the Description (Ref: ADW 1 L) The detergent tablets herein are preferably formulated to have a not unduly high pH, preferably a pH in 1 % solution in distilled water of from about 8.0 to about 12.5, more preferably from about 9.0 to about 11.8, most preferably from about 9.5 to about 11.5.
A preferred machine dishwashing method comprises treating soiled articles selected from crockery, glassware, silverware, metallic items, cutlery and mixtures thereof, with an aqueous liquid having dissolved or dispensed therein an effective amount of a the herein described compositions. By an effective amount is meant from 8g to 60g of product dissolved or dispersed in a wash solution of volume from 3 to 10 litres, as are typical product dosages and wash solution volumes commonly employed in conventional machine dishwashing methods. Preferably the detergent tablets are from 15g to 40g in weight, more preferably from 20g to 35g in weight.
Machine laundry methods herein typically comprise treating soiled laundry with an aqueous wash solution in a washing machine having dissolved or dispensed therein an effective amount of the herein described compositions. By an effective amount is meant WO 00104116 PCTNS99l15490 from 40g to 300g of product dissolved or dispersed in a wash solution of volume from 5 to 65 litres, as are typical product dosages and wash solution volumes commonly employed in conventional machine laundry methods.
In a preferred use aspect a dispensing device is employed in the washing method. The dispensing device is charged with the detergent product, and is used to introduce the product directly into the drum of the washing machine before the commencement of the wash cycle. Its volume capacity should be such as to be able to contain sufficient detergent product as would normally be used in the washing method.
To allow for release of the detergent product during the wash the device may possess a number of openings through which the product may pass. Alternatively, the device may be made of a material which is permeable to liquid but impermeable to the solid product, which will allow release of dissolved product. Preferably, the detergent product will be rapidly released at the start of the wash cycle thereby providing transient localised high concentrations of product in the drum of the washing machine at this stage of the wash cycle.
Preferred dispensing devices are reusable and are designed in such a way that container integrity is maintained in both the dry state and during the wash cycle.
Alternatively, the dispensing device may be a flexible container, such as a bag or pouch.
The bag may be of fibrous construction coated with a water impermeable protective material so as to retain the contents, such as is disclosed in EP-A-OOI8678.
Alternatively it may be formed of a water-insoluble synthetic polymeric material provided with an edge seal or closure designed to rupture in aqueous media as disclosed in EP-A-0011500, EP-A-0011501, EP-A-0011502, and EP-A-0011968.

As described above, when, in the preferred embodiments, and x is greater than 2, R3 may be the same or different. That is, R3 may vary between any of the alkyleneoxy units as described above. For instance, if x is 3, R3may be be selected to form ethyleneoxy(EO) or propyleneoxy(PO) and may vary in order of (EO)(PO)(EO), (EO)(EO)(PO);
(EO)(EO)(EO); (PO)(EOXPO); (POXPO)(EO) and (PO)(PO)(PO). Of course, the integer three is chosen for example only and the variation may be much larger with a higher integer value for x and include, for example, mulitple (EO) units and a much small number of (PO) units.
Particularly preferred surfactants as described above include those that have a low cloud point of less than 20°C. These low cloud point surfactants may then be employed in conjunction with a high cloud point surfactant as described in detail below for superior grease cleaning benefits.

The ether-capped poly(oxyalkylated) alcohol surfactants comprise three general components, namely a linear or branched alcohol, an alkylene oxide and an alkyl ether end cap. The alkyl ether end cap and the alcohol serve as a hydrophobic, oil-soluble portion of the molecule while the alkylene oxide group forms the hydrophilic, water-soluble portion of the molecule.
These surfactants exhibit significant improvements in spotting and filming characteristics and removal of greasy soils, when used in conjunction with high cloud point surfactants, relative to conventional surfactants.
Generally speaking, the ether-capped poly(oxyalkylene) alcohol surfactants may be produced by reacting an aliphatic alcohol with an epoxide to form an ether which is then reacted with a base to form a second epoxide. The second epoxide is then reacted with an alkoxylated alcohol to form the novel compounds of the present invention.

Controlled rate of release - means A means may be provided for controlling the rate of release of bleaching agent, particularly oxygen bleach to the wash solution.
Means for controlling the rate of release of the bleach may provide for controlled release of peroxide species to the wash solution. Such means could, for example, include $5 controlling the release of any inorganic perhydrate salt, acting as a hydrogen peroxide source, to the wash solution.
Suitable controlled release means can include confining the bleach to one portion of the composition. Another mechanism for controlling the rate of release of bleach may be by coating the bleach with a coating designed to provide the controlled release.
The coating may therefore, for example, comprise a poorly water soluble material, or be a coating of sufficient thickness that the kinetics of dissolution of the thick coating provide the controlled rate of release.
The coating material may be applied using various methods. Any coating material is typically present at a weight ratio of coating material to bleach of from 1:99 to 1:2, preferably from 1:49 to 1:9. Suitable coating materials include triglycerides (e.g.
partially) hydrogenated vegetable oil, soy bean oil, cotton seed oil) mono or diglycerides, microcrystalline waxes, gelatin, cellulose, fatty acids and any mixtures thereof.

Copolymers of malefic anhydride with ethylene, methylvinyl ether or methacrylic acid, the malefic anhydride constituting at least 20 mole percent of the polymer are further examples of polymeric materials useful as binder agents. These polymeric materials may be used as such or in combination with solvents such as water, propylene glycol and the above mentioned C10-C20 alcohol ethoxylates containing from 5 - 100 moles of ethylene oxide per mole. Further examples of binders include the C 10-C20 mono- and diglycerol ethers and also the C 1 p-C20 fatty acids.
Cellulose derivatives such as methylcellulose, carboxymethylcellulose and hydroxyethylcellulose, and homo- or co-polymeric polycarboxylic acids or their salts are other examples of binders suitable for use herein.
One method for applying the coating material involves agglomeration. Preferred agglomeration processes include the use of any of the organic binder materials described hereinabove. Any conventional agglomerator/mixer may be used including, but not limited to pan, rotary drum and vertical blender types. Molten coating compositions may also be applied either by being poured onto, or spray atomized onto a moving bed of bleaching agent.
Other means of providing the required controlled release include mechanical means for altering the physical characteristics of the bleach to control its solubility and rate of release. Suitable protocols could include compression, mechanical injection, manual injection, and adjustment of the solubility of the bleach compound by selection of particle size of any particulate component.
WO 00/04116 PCT/US99/15d90 Whilst the choice of particle size will depend both on the composition of the particulate component, and the desire to meet the desired controlled release kinetics, it is desirable that the particle size should be more than 500 micrometers, preferably having an average particle diameter of from 800 to 1200 micrometers.
Additional protocols for providing the means of controlled release include the suitable choice of any other components of the composition such that when the composition is introduced to the wash solution the ionic strength environment therein provided enables the required controlled release kinetics to be achieved.

Likewise, the oxidation state of the manganese canon during the catalytic process is not known with certainty, and may be the (+II), (+III), (+IV) or (+V) valence state. Due to the ligands' possible six points of attachment to the manganese cation, it may be reasonably speculated that multi-nuclear species and/or "cage" structures may exist in the aqueous bleaching media.
