  • Publication number: 20190233761
    Abstract: A solid cleaning composition includes a solidified surfactant blend. The solidified surfactant blend includes (1) at least one metal alkyl ether sulfate having the formula: wherein the first metal is sodium, potassium, magnesium, or calcium, a is 1 or 2, AO is ethylene oxide, propylene oxide, or combinations thereof, x is 0.1 to 3, and y is 11 to 13. The solidified surfactant blend also includes a (2) solid surfactant and optionally (3) polyethylene glycol. Furthermore, (1) and (2) are present in a weight ratio of from 30:70 to 70:30 based on a total weight of the solidified surfactant blend.

  • Patent number: 10364409
    Abstract: Stability enhancement agents for use in a solidification matrices and solid detergent compositions are described. Stability enhancement is provided by a hydratable salt, water and a carboxylic acid terpolymer forming a dimensionally stable solid compositions. Preferred carboxylic acid terpolymers include from about 40 to 90% by weight of a carboxylic acid monomer, anhydride or salt thereof, from about 4 to 40% by weight of a monomer comprising sulfo groups, and from about 4 to 40% by weight of a nonionic monomer set forth in formula (I). The stability enhancement composition for use in solid detergent compositions are preferably biodegradable and may be substantially free of phosphate and/or NTA-free and provide beneficial hard water scale control.
