Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a coated detergent and/or additive composition e.g. for the dish washing or laundry machine or water softener tablets coated with a water or temperature dissolvable material and a process of manufacturing thereof.
  • the traditional form of detergent and/or additive compositions for use in dish washing or washing machines is granules or non particulate solids such as bars or tablets or briquettes.
  • the term tablet will refer to any form of non particulate solids.
  • said detergent and/or additive tablets or granules are respectively placed or poured in the dispenser located in said machine or in an adequate dispensing device which is then placed in said machine.
  • EP-A 700 989 describes a unit packaged detergent.
  • Said unit packaged detergent is a detergent packaged in a water soluble polymer film or sheet in such a form that it is suitable for one wash. This unit packaged detergent is placed in the detergent disperser of the machine without unwrapping the contained detergent from the packaging.
  • said unit packaged detergent prevents wasting through spillage of the detergent and/or additive composition.
  • said unit packaged detergent eliminates the need for the user to estimate the dosage of said composition required and ensures that the correct dosage of said composition per wash cycle is used by the user.
  • the fingers of a user do not come in contact with the wrapped detergent composition.
  • WO 04/20509 describes a water soluble non-homogenous polymer containing water soluble fillers for wrapping detergent compositions. The polymer is used in an injection moulding process using a water soluble resin comprising a water soluble polymer and a water soluble filler.
  • Residues of the film or foil used as soluble wrapping material may soil e.g. the dish washing machines, dependent from the used film or foils or reaction products of the soil with the solved coating.
  • the process of manufacture Independent from the solubility of the films or foils used for wrapping / packaging of the detergent particles the process of manufacture has to include a wrapping / packaging step, which affects the speed of the manufacture process.
  • Unwrapped tablets having a coating primarily are provided for laundry dishwashing compositions, particularly for increasing mechanical resistance of the tablet and for stabilise them.
  • WO00/66701 describe shaped detergent tablets coated with several types of water soluble polymers, particularly with (co)polymers comprising acid monomers and/or unsaturated monomers.
  • US 6,576,599 discloses dishwashing tablets having a water insoluble coating for improving mechanical stability of the tablets.
  • WO 04/ 20569 A1 describes a detergent particle having a base layer of a fine powder dispersed in a binder on the surface of the particle, said base layer is coated with a surface modifier.
  • the object of the present invention was to provide a detergent composition providing safe and easy handling for the user and a fast and easy production process for said composition.

  • said solid detergent tablet is formed in a shape to ensure the uniform dissolution of the tablet in the wash liquor.
  • the detergent and/or additive composition may comprise any ingredients known in the art for dish washing, laundry or water softening. Such ingredients may include for example surfactants, suds suppressers, bleach systems, chelating agents, builders, enzymes, fillers and perfumes, however, is not limited to these.

Nevertheless, two or more unit coated detergents according to the present invention may be used in a single wash to meet different washing conditions, like dirtiness of washing, amount of washing, volume of washing machine, hardness of water, temperature of water and type of detergent. Said coating is made of a water or temperature dissolvable material.
  • the unit coated detergent according to the present invention may contain between 5 grams and 60 grams of detergent.
  • This unit coated detergent of the present invention is placed in the machine without any further handling step. This is possible, since said coating is made of a water solvable, dissolvable or dispersible material.

  • the present invention uses coatings of water dissolvable materials with thicknesses between 5 ⁇ m and 1000 ⁇ m, more preferably between 20 ⁇ m and 600 ⁇ m.
  • the coating corresponds to about 0.1 % by weight to 10 % by weight of the total amount of the detergent unit.
  • said unit coated detergent may be provided in a bag which contains substantially in a loose manner the detergent particles.
  • said unit packaged detergents are delivered in a container made of any material, like carton, plastic or metal if required supplied with a coating.
  • said unit coated detergent may comprise an additive which provides an unbearable bitter taste, particularly in case the coating comprises any sugar.
  • This additive may be coated onto said detergent composition, either as part of the water soluble coating or as a separate coating . This improves the prevention that children may accidentally ingest the complete detergent.
  • the unit coated detergent according to the present invention may be manufactured in the following way:
  • the detergent composition is prepared in its granular or particulate form; the granular or particulate detergent composition may be formed into a tablet of the desired shape and size by any of the methods known in the art, for example selected from the group of: compression, extrusion and casting, whereas said detergent composition is homogeneously distributed throughout the tablet or comprises different layers or phases of certain detergent ingredients; a water dissolvable or dispersible material is prepared as an aqueous or organic solution or dispersion (which means that the material is solved or dispersed in an aqueous system or a system comprising at least one organic solvent like alcohol or similar) or a melt (e.g.
  • said detergent in granular or tablet form is coated with said solution, dispersion or melt of the water soluble or dissolvable material to form the unit coated detergent; optionally the unit coated detergent passes a drying step and/or a stabilizing / solidifying step, the last two mentioned steps (coating and drying) optionally can be repeated to provide more than one, preferably at least two layers of the water dissolvable or dispersible material.
  • the water soluble material prepared as a solution, melt or dispersion comprising all components desired to be in the coating, is coated onto the material by any suitable method.
  • the material is coated by spraying, dipping, immersing or similar.
  • a coating composition is prepared by combining 33% by weight of limed bone Gelatine 120 bloom (corresponds to 80,000 to 150,000 g/mol gelatine)
  • the composition is heated in a water bath to about 60 0 C to 95°C and applied to a detergent tablet by means of a brush. After drying the composition resulted in a stabile coating on the tablet.
  • the detergent tablet didn't show any swelling or damaging, since only very less water is delivered from the coating. Most of the water is absorbed by the gelatine and lsomalt, resulting in a stabile and uniform coating on the tablet without affecting the detergent .
