  • the present invention relates to unit dose cleaning products prepared by nonwoven websheet in order to fulfill the requirements and the needs in this particular field.
  • the users’ hands do not come into contact with detersive and potentially skin irritating constituents of the cleaning composition, which is particularly important for users having an allergic reaction to detergent constituents.
  • the properties of the pouches have to be considered.
  • the pouches have to be dense enough to keep constituents enclosed.
  • the material used for pouch construction must not be affected by the constituents and also, it has to be water permeable to enable the rapid dissolve out or wash out of the constituents by the wash water.
  • the materials used in pouch formation must have high processability in filling and packaging machines. Additionally, the pouch material should be cheap enough to worth using. Pouches found in the market do not provide all these properties at the same time.
  • the other proposal involves the preparation of detergent pouches by using water permeable water insoluble materials as an alternative approach upon considering the disadvantages of water soluble pouches.
  • Water permeable water insoluble detergent pouches allow the intrusion of water and the transport of the constituents of the composition through permeable walls into wash water in solubilized or dispersed form. During use, these products are placed in the drum of the washing machine together with the soiled and/or stained fabric load.
  • the use of water permeable water insoluble pouches enables the release of detergent ingredients directly in the wash liquor which is in close proximity to the wash load.
  • the loss of the detergent within the dispenser and sump of the washing machine are obviated and thus, the cleaning performance of the process is improved.
  • water insoluble water permeable detergent bags have a major problem being the difficulty in making products strong enough for competent transport and for agitation during washing process. Additionally, another difficulty is to make products having pore sizes large enough to enable passage of water and dissolved ingredients but narrow enough to prevent the escape of constituents of the composition during storage, transportation, etc. Besides, as a result of narrow pore size, complete release of the ingredients can’t be possible and some residues are left inside the pouches which deteriorates the cleaning performance.
  • Solid particulated cleaning compositions are generally comprised of granulated matter and powdered matter.
  • Granulated matter has bigger particle size compared to powdered matter.
  • Granulation serves to stick materials which are originally in powdered form to have a bigger and homogene particle size distribution of the material. This enables a better handling with regard to homogeneity of the composition, improved flowing and filling ability among others.
  • Granulation is therefore a preferred form in solid particulate cleaning compositions.
  • due to the noncompatibility of some ingredients to each other and sensibility of some to granulation conditions such as high temperatures and partly due to cost reasons some ingredients have to be added to the particulate cleaning composition in powdered form.
  • some powdered material is formed as well.
  • the powdered material comprises of material of small particle size in considerable amounts. These matter may escape through the pores of the nonwoven pouch.
  • EP0163417B2 discloses a small closed bag prepared by using water permeable water insoluble material, containing a powdered bleach composition.
  • the porosity of the bag material with regard to the powder contained within the bag should be as such to prevent undesired spillage of particulate cleaning composition. Besides the porosity should be sufficient to allow adequate water permeability, otherwise the bag will not release its content sufficiently quick.
  • the porosity of the bag material of the present invention is provided by using materials consisting of a mixture of polyester and cellulosic fibers. Long fibres of polyester fibres are used in combination with cellulosic fibres to improve the wet strength of the sheet material to prevent disintegration of the same during washing process and binder is also necessary for improving the wet strength.
  • the sheet material of the bag does not have uniform pore size distribution which causes an uncontrolled release of constituents of the composition due to the presence of staple fibers. Besides, upon contact with wash liquor, the sheet material can be damaged and give rise to uncontrolled and fast release of the particles which deteriorates cleaning efficiency of the product.
  • the present invention overcomes the above mentioned drawbacks by providing a unit dose cleaning product comprising an outer shell prepared by water permeable but water insoluble materials having a porosity and pore size distribution as such to prevent outward passage of constituents of detergent composition in dry state.
  • the present invention relates to a unit dose cleaning product comprising an outer shell prepared by water permeable but water insoluble materials such as nonwoven websheet.
  • the present invention relates to a nonwoven websheet construction which can be designed to be used as unit dose cleaning product.
  • the present invention relates to a nonwoven websheet construction having porosity and pore size being narrow enough to keep detergent particles in dry state therein, and large enough to enable full passage of detergent composition into wash liquor in a feasible time period.
  • the present invention relates to a nonwoven websheet construction having uniform porosity and pore size distribution.

  • the present invention nonwoven websheet provides a websheet with pores small enough to hold even the powdered material with small particle size and cause not to dust and loosing cleaning material. This goal is achieved by incorporating meltblown type nonwoven fiber layer(s) between spunbond type nonwoven fiber layers.
  • the water permeable but water insoluble websheet of the pouch of the present invention can be prepared from a nonwoven websheet.
  • This nonwoven websheet can be made from fibers or filaments of different materials either synthetic or natural origin such as polyolefin, polypropylene, polyethyleneteraphthalate, polyamide, polyester, polyacrylic, PVC, cellulose acetate, polyethylene or cellulosic fibres.
  • synthetic fibers and more preferably, polyester, polypropylene or any combinations or blends of those fibers and most preferably, polypropylene fibers are used, wherein preferred type of polypropylene is isotactic.
  • Nonwoven websheets used in the present invention can be made by spunmelt process which encompasses two processes such as spunbond (S) and meltblown (M) or the combinations thereof.
  • Spunbonding process is based on extrusion of multiplicity of continuous thermoplastic polymer strands thorough a multiciplicity of die orifices in a downward direction onto a moving surface. These extruded strains are collected in randomly distributed mode which are then bonded together to provide integrity to the resultant nonwoven websheet.
  • the nonwoven layer prepared by spunbonding has high strength, high porosity and good abrasion resistance.
  • the spunbond layer of the present invention for polypropylene fiber material comprises fibers with diameters in the range of 8-25 micron, preferably 12-20 micron.
  • the spunbond fiber diameter below said values provides not the necessary strength and fiber diameters above said diameter fails to form nonwoven websheet with desired pore dimension avoiding spilling.
  • the spunbond layer weighs per area in the range of 5-30 gsm preferably 7-15 gsm. Said gsm are necessary to provide strength.
  • meltblowing process extruded strands are broken up and then, before collecting onto a moving surface, these extruded strains are dispersed into individual fibers. The fibers first cooled by air then bonded together to obtain structural integrity. The nonwoven websheet prepared by meltblowing becomes very compact so that it can act as a barrier.
  • the meltblown layer of the present invention for polypropylene fiber material comprises fibers with diameters in the range of 1 -3 micron, preferably 1.2-2.0 micron.
  • the Meltblown fiber diameter below said values are not strong enough to resist mechanical stress and may broke; too high of diameter may fail to build a strong mesh and cause spilling.
  • the meltblown layer weighs per area in the range of 5-30 gsm preferably 7-15 gsm, which is in the similar weight range as spunbond layers has. Said gsm values are necessary to provide tighter pores, for preventing spillage.
  • the nonwoven websheet of the present invention is the combination of spunbond and meltblown layers.
  • the meltblown layer(s) comprise at most 15% preferably 10% of the total weight nonwoven websheet, remaining layers are spunbond layers. Spunbond layers are present always on both side of the nonwoven websheet since they are more robust compared to meltblown layers, which prevents abrasion.
  • Prepared spunbond and meltblown layers are combined and subjected to calender bonding by heating at least one of the rollers of the calender close to softening temperatures of the components and applying a pressure to make the softened polymers bonded, therewith providing said nonwoven websheet.
  • the prepared nonwoven websheet of the present invention consists of at least two spunbond layers and at least one meltblown layer located between them.
  • the nonwoven websheet of the present invention can be composed of three or more layers, wherein used layers are composed from combination of spunbonded (S) and meltblown (M) layers and the outer layers are always spunbond layers since spunbond layers provide more strength which is required in the outer position of the nonwoven websheet. Besides meltblown layer having much thinner and broken fibres are more prone to disengage from nonwoven websheet when located on the surface due to friction and applied forces.
  • the embodiments of the present invention can be comprised of three or more layers of combination of spunbond/meltblown layer construction wherein these layers can be positioned SMS, SSMS, SMMS, SSM MS, SMMMS or SSSMS layers.
  • the embodiment of the present invention can have five layers of combination of spunbond/meltblown construction.
  • the embodiment of the present invention utilizes spunbond/spunbond/meltblown/meltblown/spundbond layer (SSMMS) construction.
  • SSMMS spunbond/spunbond/meltblown/meltblown/spundbond layer
  • Spunbond layers of the construction improve the strength and softness of the web, giving a fabric-like appearance while providing large pores.
  • the inclusion of the meltblown layers makes the web more compact and reduces the pore size of the web wherein meltblown layers act as a barrier to prevent outward passage of the cleaning composition in dry state.
  • the nonwoven websheet construction of the present invention has sufficient wet strength which enables the product to withstand during washing process without disintegrating.
  • the nonwoven websheet of the present invention unit dose product should be able to hold the particulated cleaning composition which is comprised of mainly from granulated and powdered material inside of the pouch in amounts as much as necessary and sufficient amounts. Whereas an amount above 5% by weight of dusting, it means leaving of powdered material the pouch would cause together with economical impact a nonuniformity of the ingredient since some powdered ingredients may be in considerable amount in small particle size present. This may additionally lead to lack of fulfilling the desired duty of the cleaning composition. A high amount of dusting may cause in humid environment sticking of pouches together which are sold normally in multiunit packages in the market.
  • a low amount of dusting is desirable but on the other hand to achieve this a very narrow pore size of the pouch websheet would cause a considerable slowing of the entry of washing water into the pouch and slowing the release of the ingredients from inside of pouch to the outside direction, to the washing environment. This would cause a delayed start of washing procedure even a much longer washing and cleaning times compared to conventional dosage forms, which is not desired by the end user.
  • a dusting of less than 1 % by weight of particulate cleaning composition is appropriate to achieve said goals preferably.

Abstract

Un produit de nettoyage unidose est pourvu d'un revêtement de feuille de tissu non tissé rempli d'une composition de nettoyage particulaire. Les pores du revêtement de feuille de tissu non tissé sont d'une part suffisamment étroits pour empêcher le déversement de la composition de nettoyage particulaire, et d'autre part suffisamment larges pour permettre l'entrée et la libération d'eau de la composition de nettoyage dans l'environnement de nettoyage. La feuille de tissu non tissé recouvrant la composition de nettoyage est préparée à partir d'au moins deux couches de filé-lié et d'au moins une couche de fusion-soufflage entre des couches de filé-lié.
