Publication number: 20210355416Abstract: The present invention relates to a method of making a solid cleaning composition. The method can include pressing and/or vibrating a flowable solid of a self-solidifying cleaning composition. For a self-solidifying cleaning composition, pressing and/or vibrating a flowable solid determines the shape and density of the solid but is not required for forming a solid. The method can employ a concrete block machine for pressing and/or vibrating. The present invention also relates to a solid cleaning composition made by the method and to solid cleaning compositions including particles bound together by a binding agent.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 27, 2021Publication date: November 18, 2021Inventors: ROGER L. STOLTE, MICHAEL PETER DZIUK, MELISSA C. MEINKE, MATTHEW C. PORTER

Patent number: 8247367Abstract: Material, composition, and manufacturing method alternatives for a solidification matrix that may be used, for example, in solid cleaning compositions, or other technologies. In at least some embodiments, the solidification matrix includes a binding agent that is formed by the use of MGDA, or a salt or derivative thereof, and water to produce a solid binding agent. In some embodiments, the MGDA and water combines and can solidify to act as a binder material or binding agent dispersed throughout a solid composition that may contain other functional ingredients that provide the desired properties and/or functionality to the solid composition.Type: GrantFiled: March 3, 2011Date of Patent: August 21, 2012Assignee: Ecolab USA Inc.Inventors: Roger L.
