Patent number: 5562850Abstract: Toilet bowl detergent compositions, preferably blocks of the "in-tank" or "rim-block" types, contain a cleaning system comprising: detergent surfactant of the amphoteric type, preferably zwitterionic, more preferably one that contains a carboxylate group and a cationic group, and even more preferably a fatty acid amidoalkylene betainc, and polycarboxylate chelating agent, preferably, citric acid, or similar polycarboxylic acid, are combined with some means of creating the desired concentration of the cleaning system in the toilet bowl water, preferably by means of blocks with a dissolution retarding system, preferably with the dissolution retarding system comprising a combination of water soluble cellulosic polymer, more preferably hydroxyethyl cellulose or hydroxypropyl cellulose and, polyethylene glycol containing polymer, any perfume present being selected to be mostly hydrophobic. The compositions have a pH, in use, of from about 4 to about 9 and the blocks are preferably extremely homogeneous.Type: GrantFiled: July 26, 1995Date of Patent: October 8, 1996Assignee: The Procter & Gamble CompanyInventors: Ricky A.

Patent number: 5543072Abstract: There is provided a mild detergent toilet bar (syndet bar) composition containing from at least 25 percent up to about 65 percent by weight of synthetic surface active agents, which lathers, foams and wears well, exhibits minimal slushing and curd-forming properties in all types of water, possesses good plasticity and tactile properties while also being mild and non-injurious to the user's skin and readily processed with conventional soap-making equipment. The syndet bar compositions containa) from about 15 to 35 percent by weight of acyl esters of isethionic acid salts;b) at least one sulfosuccinate in an amount from about 10 to about 30 percent by weight wherein the weight ratio of said acyl isethionate esters to sulfosuccinate is 0.Type: GrantFiled: October 31, 1994Date of Patent: August 6, 1996Assignee: Mona Industries, Inc.Inventors: Dennis L.
