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 polymer 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.
  • One common embodiment is to provide detergent tablets as packaged pieces, either in a package which has to be opened before the tablet is put in the dish washing machine or washing machine, or packaged in a water soluble package left around the tablet when putted in the machine.
  • Water soluble packages comprising an agent to be dispensed in an aqueous medium are well known.
  • 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.
  • Unwrapped tablets having a coating primarily are provided for laundry dishwashing compositions, particularly for increasing mechanical resistance of the tablet and for stabilise them.
