Definitions
- the invention concerns a cleansing article based upon a water-insoluble sachet with an effervescent foamable powder actuatable with water held within the sachet .
- Cleansing products have traditionally been marketed in the form of bar soaps, shower gels and mousses, the lather being generated by mechanical and aerosol dispensers.
- Mechanical implements have been used by consumers to assist in lather formation and physical removal of dirt through scrubbing. Wash cloths have been the implement of choice throughout recent history.
- U.S. Patent 5,980,931 (Fowler et al . ) describes a substantially dry, disposable personal care article wherein a surfactant system is dried onto a water-insoluble non- woven or similar substrate.
- a second generation of dual layered towelette has been reported. See WO 00/42961 (Smith), WO 01/08542 (Cen et al . ) , WO 01/08640 (Smith et al.), WO 01/08641 (Lorenzi et al . ) , WO 01/08655 (Phipps et al.), WO 01/08656 (Lorenzi et al .
- WO 01/08657 (Lorenzi et al.) and WO 01/08658 (Cawkwell et al . ) all describing disposable personal cleansing towelettes with lathering surfactant on at least a two layer cloth with one layer being a high loft substrate. Consumers are expected to place the towelette under water to generate a surfactant lather.
- Another advantage of the present invention is to be able to provide an effervescent composition containing sachet wherein walls of the sachet allow for a controlled billowing of lather.
- an article for cleansing body surfaces including: an effervescent cleansing composition capable of generating a foam upon contact with water; and
- a pouch formed of first and second water insoluble substrates, at least one being water permeable, the first and second water-insoluble substrates forming therebetween an area housing the cleansing composition, the second substrate comprising a non-woven sheet selected from the group consisting of meltblown, spunbond and sheet combinations thereof.
- a high loft water insoluble sheet forms at least part of the second substrate with a high loft surface on an outward side of the second substrate.
- the first substrate may be of a different construction than that of the second. More particularly, the first substrate may be a spun lace
- meltblown, spunbond and/or combination second substrate is that this material is less adversely affected in its sealability when contaminent effervescent particles of the composition accidentally enter machinery during the pouch manufacture process.
- meltblown and spunbond non-wovens allow for better sealability when sandwiched between the first substrate and any high loft sheet forming part of the second substate .
- the high loft sheet imparts to the second substrate increased aeration and improved latherability properties.
- Fig. 1 is a perspective view of a pouch according to the present invention.
- Fig. 2 is a cross-sectional view taken along line 2-2 of Fig. 1.
- foam generating pouches based on effervescent water-activatable powders are best constructed with at least one wall being a sheet of a meltblown, spunbond and/or layered combination thereof substrate.
- Fig. 1 illustrates pouch 2 of the present invention.
- the pouch has walls formed by a first spun lace substrate 4 and a second meltblown composite substrate 6, the latter being bonded to a high loft sheet 8.
- Chamber 10 formed between the first and second substrates 4, 6 serves to confine a powdered effervescent composition 12. Sheets 4 and 6 are ultrasonically sealed along a circumferential track 14 to insure no loss of the powdered composition.
- Copious foam is generated when pouch 2 is wetted with water, much in the same manner as a toilet bar is lathered. Physically, the pouch is constructed in an oval shape with a size fittable within a human hand thereby simulating a toilet bar. Cross-sectional diameters may range from about 2 to about 15 cm, preferably from about 5 to about 10 cm.
- Sheet 6 may be a single meltblown layer but preferably it is a combination of several layers.
- One embodiment utilizes the three layers of spunbond/meltblown/spunbond (SMS) and another utilizes four layers representing spunbond/meltblown/meltblown/spunbond (SMMS) construction. In these systems the meltblown fibers are very compact and act as a barrier against loss of powder. The spunbond layers are provided for strength and softness .
- the meltblown web can be any meltblown web made from a thermoplastic polymer having a melting point greater than about 50°C.
- a preferred polymer is polypropylene, which is the most commonly used polymer for making meltblown webs.
- Other suitable polymers include poly (butylene terephthalate) , polycaprolactam, poly (ethylene terephthalate) and polyethylene.
- meltblown webs The process for making meltblown webs is well known in the art and is used extensively for manufacturing a wide variety of commercial nonwoven products. Representative examples of the meltblowing process are described in U.S. Pat. No. 3,978,185 to Buntin et al . dated August 31, 1976; U.S.
- meltblown web can be combined or laminated to other supporting webs, such as spunbonded webs, in order to impart strength or other attributes to the product .
- the basis weight for a single sheet of the meltblown base webs of this invention can range from about 20 to about 300 grams per square meter. Preferably the basis weight will be from about 80 to about 250, and most preferably from about 100 to about 200 grams per square meter.
- Spunbonding entails extruding a multiplicity of continuous thermoplastic polymer strands through a multiplicity of die orifices in a downward direction onto a moving surface where the extruded strands are collected in randomly distributed fashion. The randomly deposited strands are then bonded together in a heated nip to provide sufficient integrity to the resulting nonwoven web of continuous fibers. Spunbonded webs are characterized by a high strength/weight ratio, isotropic strength, high porosity, and good abrasion resistance.
- Meltblowing differs from spunbonding in that the extruded polymer strands are broken up and dispersed into individual fibers by a forced air stream before being deposited onto the collecting surface. In addition, the fibers are substantially cooled by the air so that they do not significantly crystallize and/or bond together. Bonding of the web to retain integrity and strength occurs as a separate downstream operation.
- a most preferred material for the second substrate is a non- woven meltblown/spunbond substrate available from the Polyprop Corporation.
- the first substrate preferably is either a spun lace or a carded/chemically bonded non-woven water-insoluble material. Particularly preferred is a cloth NC008 (Image Spun Lace) available from the PGI Corporation.

- all edges defining the pouch are sealed in register trapping the effervescent cleansing composition within. Cutters then separate one sealed section from another thereby forming the article.
- One or more of the articles are then packaged within a moisture impermeable outer package such as a laminated foil bag to prevent activation of the effervescent system during storage .
- Ultrasonic welding may be employed as an alternative to heat-sealing of the first and second substrates together. Thread stitching, glue application or other closure mechanisms may also be utilized.
- An effervescent cleansing composition was prepared according to the formulation reported in Table I .
- Phase A was dry blended in a high speed shearing mixer. Fragrance was then sprayed onto the resultant powder as a Phase B .
- Three grams of the resultant powder are then placed into a pocket of a 5 cm by 8 cm pouch. Walls of the pouch are formed by heat sealing the circumferences of a non-woven spun lace web to a non-woven SMMS web.
