Problems solved by technology

Entrainment of air prior to molding limits formulation flexibility and requires purpose-built equipment to provide mechanical agitation for whipping air which would add cost to the process
The amount of entrained air is also low so that detergent bars with ultra-low density cannot be obtained

Embodiment

[0045] i Method of preparing inflatable blocks:

[0046]The process consists of preparing a pourable melt of the composition, which is then cast into the desired shape, followed by dehydration to achieve air entrapment.

[0047] Table 1a shows the composition (in % by weight) at the time of casting, before dehydration, while Table 1b shows the composition (in % by volume) of the corresponding cast dewatered blocks. The composition of the cast dewatered blocks is expressed in % by volume, since the main component of the blocks is air. The compositions shown in Table 1b were prepared by the following methods.

[0048] A mixture of soap, non-soap surfactant and water (for all examples except Example 5a where only a soap-water mixture was employed) was added to a two liter volume with the composition (% by weight) shown in Table 1a in a round bottom flask. The mixture was stirred and heated to about 80°C with a hot water bath to obtain a pourable melt. The melt was poured into...

Abstract

Aerated, ultra low-density cast-dehydrated syndet detergent bars for use in personal wash, fabric wash and hard surface cleaning. A process for preparing aerated, ultra low-density cast-dehydrated detergent bars wherein the air is entrained in the bars after rigidification and shaping the product is also provided.

Description

Technical field: [0001] The present invention relates to aerated ultra low density cast dewatered detergent bars. In particular the present invention relates to a method of making an aerated ultra-low density cast dewatered detergent bar wherein air is entrained in the bar after the product has hardened and formed. Background technique: [0002] Soap or non-soap detergent articles are generally prepared by shearing / homogenizing the formulation followed by extrusion and die punching. This procedure is only suitable for thermoplastic or shear-insensitive detergent bar formulations. Shear-sensitive formulations are usually produced by casting. In the production of detergent compositions by casting, the formulation is brought into a fluid state by raising the temperature, filled into molds and then cooled. [0003] The water content in detergent bars is usually maintained at about 5-40%. If a gas such as air is entrained in the detergent block, the bulk density of the block ...
