  • Detergent tablets comprising solubility aids
    Patent number: 7033988
    Abstract: Detergent compositions, preferably tablets, comprise an improved solubility aid wherein the solubility aid contains an organic molecule, which has a first polar group and a second polar group separated from each other by less than 5 aliphatic carbon atoms. The use of the solubility aid provides detergent tablets which are both strong and durable to resist breakage during storage and transportation, but which also disintegrate rapidly upon contact with an aqueous wash solution so that the components of the tablet can provide detersive benefits during the wash process.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: January 22, 2003
    Date of Patent: April 25, 2006
    Assignee: The Procter & Gamble Company
    Inventors: Kevin Todd Norwood, Gayle Marie Frankenbach, Rajeev Ashok Modi, Mike Rene Weaver
  • Solid detergent compositions comprising sesquicarbonate
    Patent number: 6630439
    Abstract: Solid detergent compositions comprising from 8-60 wt. % of a surfactant system and having a Grand Compatibility Index of at least 0.5, preferably at least 0.6, are claimed. The use of these detergent compositions in a washing process for soiled laundry is also claimed.
    Type: Grant

    Date of Patent: October 7, 2003
    Assignee: The Procter & Gamble Company
    Inventors: Kevin Todd Norwood, Eugene Joseph Pancheri
  • Solubility aids for use in detergent compositions
    Publication number: 20030158073
    Abstract: Detergent compositions, preferably tablets, comprise an improved solubility aid wherein the solubility aid contains an organic molecule, which has a first polar group and a second polar group separated from each other by less than 5 aliphatic carbon atoms. The use of the solubility aid provides detergent tablets which are both strong and durable to resist breakage during storage and transportation, but which also disintegrate rapidly upon contact with an aqueous wash solution so that the components of the tablet can provide detersive benefits during the wash process.

  • Effervescent detergent composition
    Publication number: 20030073591
    Abstract: Detergent compositions having a detersive surfactant system, an effervescent system comprising an acid source comprising an acid or acid-salt blend having the formula
    Type: Application
    Filed: August 20, 2001
    Publication date: April 17, 2003

  • Granular compositions having improved dissolution
    Patent number: 6294512
    Abstract: Detergent compositions contain sticky particles with at least 45% by weight of a sticky surfactant and non-sticky particles with less than about 1% by weight of sticky surfactant. The particles are further characterized by their size ranges and bulk densities. Compositions containing potassium ions are described. Dissolution of the compositions in aqueous media is optimized.
