Abstract: Disclosed is a pouch having at least one sealed compartment containing a first composition. At least one wall of the at least one sealed compartment is made from a water-soluble film having any suitable thickness. The water-soluble film comprises PVOH polymer such that when the film has a thickness of about 76 microns the film is characterized by a Dissolution Index of about 620 to about 920, or of about 665 to about 920, or about 710 to about 920; and a Stress Index of about 145 to about 626, or about 155 to about 480, or about 165 to about 325.

Abstract: The need for a stable, compact composition providing improved fabric care benefit, that is also convenient to use, can be met by incorporating a cationic cellulose polymer into a non-aqueous composition, using a non-aqueous dispersant. Such compositions have good physical stability, with little or no clumping of the cationic polymer in particulate form.

Abstract: The need for a stable, quick dissolving unit dose article delivering good fabric care benefit is met by combining a cationic polymer with a fatty acid or salt in a non-aqueous composition, that is comprised within a water-soluble or dispersible film. By combining the cationic polymer with the fatty acid, the cationic polymer is prevented from reducing the solubility of the encapsulating film.

Abstract: The need for a highly concentrated enzyme stabilizer premix, which is both physically and chemically stable, is met by dissolving phenyl boronic acid, or a derivative thereof, to form a premix comprising an organic solvent, while limiting the amount of water present.

Abstract: The present application relates to a compact liquid detergent composition comprising a mixture of chelants suitable for use in laundry cleaning.

Abstract: The present application relates to a process of color neutralizing treatment liquids, wherein the treatment liquid comprises a chromophore selected from the group consisting of monoazo, triarylmethane, xanthene, anthraquinone, hydrophobic dyes, and mixtures thereof, wherein the hydrophobic dyes are selected from the group consisting of benzodifuranes; methine; triphenylmethanes; naphthalimides; pyrazole; naphthoquinone; mono-azo, di-azo dyes and mixtures thereof, said process comprising the steps of: i. providing a mixing vessel with the treatment composition comprising the chromophore; ii. providing to the mixing vessel more than 0.045% of a reducing agent selected from the group consisting of sulfite, thiodiurea, formaldehyde bisulfite formaldehyde sulfoxilate and mixtures thereof; and iii. mixing until discolouration by color neutralization of the chromophore is achieved.

Abstract: The need for a means to formulate fluid compositions for use in water-soluble unit dose articles having higher levels of water is met by incorporating a di-amido gellant into the fluid composition. The di-amido gellant also simplifies the addition of ingredients to water-soluble unit dose articles, such as microcapsules, that are typically added as aqueous suspensions or slurries.
