Abstract: An extruded water-soluble article is made from homogeneous material that includes a water-soluble polymer having an extrusion temperature of 50 to 150° C. This relatively low extrusion temperature is compatible with actives that would otherwise be destroyed in a high temperature extrusion process. The article further includes between 0.1% to 50% by weight of an active agent.
