Detergent body

Abstract

A detergent body comprises a high proportion of a solid component. The detergent body is produced in an injection moulding process.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to detergent products comprising a high proportion of solid matter. The articles are manufactured using injection molding methods. Background technique [0002] In applications involving cleaners, detergents and other detergent formulation components, tablets have gained their place in the market in recent years as an easy-to-dosage and simple-to-use form. [0003] Tablets generally contain a mixture of components that are solid at room temperature and components that are liquid at room temperature. The solid components are usually present in granular form for ease of processing and accelerated dissolution / dispersion. [0004] Tablets are generally prepared by mixing the tablet components followed by compression into a shaped article. These compressed tablets have a number of disadvantages. [0005] First, even with high compression pressures, tablets are still brittle. This will lead to the formation of powder and in...

Problems solved by technology

[0008] Heterophasic tablets also present the problem of complex manufacturing techniques: either a complex multi-step manufacturing process involving (after possibly a separate pre-forming) many layers being pressed together, and / or the need to embed inserts into the pre-formed article in the hole

[0015] Multi-phase tablets also have the additional disadvantage of having little or no flexibility in the relative proportions of the phases
