Definitions

  • This invention relates to a pouch having at least two compartments, said pouch comprises a composition comprising a solid component and a liquid component, said solid and liquid components are contained in different compartments.
  • Laundry detergent products can be found on the market to date in various forms, such as solid granular compositions and tablets, or liquid compositions. This gives the consumer a choice of detergent products they can use.
  • Some detergent ingredients currently used by the laundry industry are preferably manufactured and processed in solid form, for example because these ingredients are water-insoluble and are difficult or costly to include in a liquid detergent composition, or because these materials are preferably transported and supplied in solid form and therefore require extra processing steps to enable them to be included in a liquid detergent composition.
  • Such detergent ingredients include surfactants, hence these surfactants require extra processing steps to enable them to be included in liquid detergent compositions.
  • certain ingredients are formed into granular form and supplied and processed in solid form for stability reasons, for example certain enzyme prills.
  • liquid detergent compositions include the use of emulsifiers, and dispersants.
  • these liquid detergent compositions comprise only low amounts of these solid ingredients.
  • liquid detergent ingredients can comprise only low amounts of certain water-insoluble building agents such as aluminosilicates or water-insoluble fabric softening agents such as clays, provided dispersants or emulsifiers are used.
  • the inventors have found that by using a multi-compartment water-soluble pouch comprising at least two separate compartments, water-insoluble solid detergent ingredients can be included in a detergent composition comprising other liquid detergent ingredients, without the need for difficult, costly manufacturing and processing steps.
  • the water-insoluble solid detergent ingredient is comprised by one compartment of a multi-compartment water-soluble pouch whilst the liquid detergent ingredients are comprised by another compartment of said pouch.
  • Detergent compositions comprised by a multi-compartment water-soluble pouch in this way can comprise higher levels of water-insoluble solid detergent ingredients such as water insoluble building agent together with liquid detergent ingredients.
  • US 4 973 41 G describes an aqueous liquid laundry detergent preferably in a pouch or packet comprising from 10% to 24% by weight of water and a substantially organic neutralisation system.
  • EP 1 126 070 (state of the art under Art. 54(3) EPC) describes a two compartment pouch made using a substantially water soluble film or sheer made from hydroxyl propyl methyl cellulose.

  • the pouch herein is typically a closed structure, made of material described herein, enclosing a volume space which is separated into at least two compartments.
  • the pouch comprises a composition comprising a liquid component and a solid component.
  • the pouch and volume space thereof can be of any form, shape and material which is suitable to hold the composition, e.g. without allowing the release of the composition from the pouch prior to contact of the pouch to water. The exact execution will depend on for example the type and amount of the composition in the pouch, the number of compartments in the pouch, the characteristics required from the pouch to hold, protect and deliver or release the compositions.
  • the pouch has a spheroid shape.
  • the pouch may be of such a size that it conveniently contains either a unit dose amount of the composition herein, suitable for the required operation, for example one wash, or only a partial dose, to allow the consumer greater flexibility to vary the amount used, for example depending on the size and/ or degree of soiling of the wash load.
  • the pouch is made from a water-soluble film which encloses an inner volume, said inner volume is divided into the compartments of the pouch.
  • the compartments of the pouch herein typically are closed structures made of a water-soluble film which encloses a volume space which comprises the components of the detergent composition. Said volume space is preferably enclosed by a water-soluble film in such a manner that the volume space is separated from the outside environment.
  • the solid component or liquid component that are comprised by a compartment of the pouch are contained in the volume space of the compartment, and are separated from the outside environment by a water-soluble film.
  • separated means for the purpose of this invention "physically distinct, in that a first ingredient comprised by a compartment is prevented from contacting a second ingredient if said second ingredient is not comprised by the same compartment which comprises said first ingredient".
  • outside environment means for the purpose of this invention "anything which cannot pass through the material which encloses the compartment and which is not comprised by the compartment".
  • the compartment is suitable to hold the solid or liquid components of the composition, e.g. without allowing the release of the components from the compartment prior to contact of the pouch to water.
