  • Publication number: 20230287205
    Abstract: A dissolvable solid structure with a first layer and a second layer. The first layer includes from about 20% to about 100%, by weight of the first layer, of a first water-soluble polymer. The second layer includes from about 1% to about 50%, by weight of the second layer, of a second water-soluble polymer, a high melting point fatty material having an average carbon chain length C12-C22 and a melting point above 25° C., and a cationic surfactant. The dissolvable solid structure can provide improved flexibility and solubility in a composition, such as water, while having a sufficient structural integrity during manufacturing.

  • Publication number: 20220257476
    Abstract: The Dissolvable Solid Structure as described herein can be in the form of a fibrous structure comprising: (a) a polymeric structurant; (b) a high melting point fatty compound such as a fatty amphiphile, and (c) a cationic surfactant. The polymeric structurant has a weight average molecular weight of from about 10,000 to about 6,000,000 g/mol, and the components of the fibrous material form a homogenous material when molten. When water is added to the dissolvable solid structure at a ratio of about 5:1 a lamellar structure is formed.
