Abstract
Provided herein are solid textile treating compositions; compositions containing colorants stabilized with one or more colorant stabilizers; compositions containing colorants that do not need to be stabilized by one or more colorant stabilizers; solid wash cycle conditioning agents; liquid textile treating compositions; cleaning agent compositions containing these; methods of making these; methods of treating textiles with these; textiles treated by these; containers containing the compositions; and methods of visually designating when a composition has reached or passed its pull date.
Claims17
A unit dose solid textile-treating article, comprising:
- a water-soluble single-chamber container;
- and
- at least one solid textile-treating composition, which comprises:
- (a) a water-soluble core comprising a water-soluble carrier;
- wherein the water-soluble core is in particle form having an average particle size from about 0.1 mm to about 50 mm;
- (b) a coating that at least partially covers the water-soluble core, the coating comprising:
- (i) a water-soluble polymer;
- (ii) a colorant;
- and
- (iii) a colorant stabilizer that is an acid having a molecular weight of 1000 daltons or less;
- wherein the colorant stabilizer is formic acid, an acetic acid, a propanoic acid, a butanoic acid, a pentanoic acid, a hexanoic acid, a heptanoic acid, a octanoic acid, a nonanoic acid, a decanoic acid, a cyclopropyl carboxylic acid, a cyclobutyl carboxylic acid, a cyclopentyl carboxylic acid, a cyclohexyl carboxylic acid, a cycloheptyl carboxylic acid, a cyclooctyl carboxylic acid, a cyclononylcarboxylic acid, a cyclodecanoyl carboxylic acid, a lactic acid, a pyruvic acid, a phenol, or a combination thereof;
- and
- (c) a flow aid mixed into the coating such that the flow aid is partially or fully exposed on an outer surface of the coating;
- wherein the at least one solid textile-treating composition does not contain a polysaccharide;
- wherein the water-soluble single-chamber container contains the at least one solid textile-treating composition.
A unit dose solid textile-treating article, comprising:
- a water-soluble single-chamber container;
- and
- at least one solid textile-treating composition, which comprises:
- (a) a water-soluble core comprising a water-soluble carrier;
- wherein the water-soluble core is in particle form having an average particle size from about 0.1 mm to about 50 mm;
- (b) a coating that at least partially covers the water-soluble core, the coating comprising:
- (i) a water-soluble polymer;
- (ii) a colorant;
- and
- (iii) a colorant stabilizer having a molecular weight of 1000 daltons or less;
- (c) a flow aid mixed into the coating such that the flow aid is partially or fully exposed on an outer surface of the coating;
- wherein the colorant stabilizer is an alkyl carboxylic acid, a cycloalkyl carboxylic acid, heterocycloalkyl carboxylic acid, an aryl carboxylic acid, heteroaryl carboxylic acid, a cycloalkyl alkyl carboxylic acid, an aryl alkyl carboxylic acid, a heterocycloalkyl alkyl carboxylic acid, a heteroaryl alkyl carboxylic acid, or any combination thereof;
- wherein the at least one solid textile-treating composition does not contain a polysaccharide;
- wherein the water-soluble single-chamber container contains the at least one solid textile-treating composition.
