Definitions
- the present invention relates to a detergent tablet.
- a detergent tablet for providing a liquid detergent composition on dissolution in water.
- compositions Consumers spend considerable amount of time and effort in cleaning their households. They prefer to use different cleaning compositions depending on the substrates to be cleaned. Typically, such compositions differ in terms of their ingredients such as, detersive agents, builders, perfume, soil release polymers etc. Moreover, a particular composition is available in different formats such as, powder, liquid, tablet, pod etc.
- a composition in tablet format contains concentrated detergent. Consumers dissolves the tablet in water to form a liquid detergent composition and use it. Tablets are compact in size. Hence requires less packaging material compared to a liquid or powder detergent having similar level of detersive agent. Often the packaging materials includes polyethylene, polyethylene terephthalate etc. which are predominantly sourced from non-renewable resources. There are continuous efforts to reduce such consumptions, and tablet format perfectly fits in to this. Moreover, when a tablet is formulated as a unit dose, it provides relief to consumer from adjudging and dosing right amount of composition in water. Hence tablet format is gaining popularity in this space.
- a tablet contains a unit dose of concentrated detergent, which forms a liquid detergent composition on dissolution in water.
- concentrated detergent which forms a liquid detergent composition on dissolution in water.
- a tablet is formed by compacting a homogenised powder comprising the required ingredients.
- a high compression force leads to hard tablets which fails to dissolve fast.
- lower compression force leads to loosely packed ingredients which helps in faster dissolution, however, does not have the required strength. It is desirable to have a fast-dissolving tablet with sufficient strength.
- One way to improve the performance of tablets is to incorporate a disintegrant in the composition which disintegrates the tablet in water, helping in faster dissolution.
- a disintegrant in the composition which disintegrates the tablet in water, helping in faster dissolution.
- most of the disintegrants are insoluble in water leaving residue upon dissolution in the liquid composition, which is not preferred by consumers.
