Abstract
Described are effervescent dissolvable solid structures having fibers formed from a composition comprising surfactant and water soluble polymeric structurant, having a total dissolvable solid structure density of from about 0.100 g/cm3to about 0.380 g/cm3, having a surfactant dose of from about 0.5 to about 2.0 g, and a surfactant density of from about 0.1 g/cm3 to about 0.3 g/cm3. Also described are processes for manufacturing the Dissolvable Solid Structure.
Claims20
A dissolvable fibrous structure comprising a plurality of meltblown dissolvable fibrous elements wherein the fibrous elements are formed from a fibrous element-forming composition and the fibrous elements comprise:
- a. from about 10% to about 75% of an active wherein the active comprises a surfactant;
- b. from about 14% to about 70% of a fibrous element-forming material consisting of one or more water soluble polymeric structurants;
- wherein the fibrous elements comprise from about 0.5 g to about 4.0 g surfactant;
- wherein the dissolvable fibrous structure comprises:
- a surfactant density from about 0.1 g/cm3 to about 0.3 g/cm3;
- a bulk density of the dissolvable fibrous structure is from about 0.100 g/cm3 to about 0.380 g/cm3;
- a weight from about 1.0 g to about 4.0 g;
- a footprint from about 1 cm2 to about 50 cm2;
- wherein the fibrous elements comprise filaments;
- wherein the plurality of fibrous elements are inter-entangled or otherwise associated with one another to form the fibrous structure.
A dissolvable fibrous structure comprising a plurality of meltblown dissolvable fibrous elements wherein the fibrous elements are formed from a fibrous element-forming composition and the fibrous elements comprise:
- a. from about 25% to about 65% of an active wherein the active comprises a cationic surfactant;
- b. a fatty alcohol;
- c. from about 14% to about 30% of a fibrous element-forming material;
- wherein the fibrous elements comprise from about 0.5 g to about 4.0 g cationic surfactant;
- wherein the dissolvable fibrous structure comprises:
- a plurality of apertures extending from a top surface to the bottom surface;
- a surfactant density from about 0.13 g/cm3 to about 0.3 g/cm3;
- a bulk density of the dissolvable fibrous structure is from about 0.100 g/cm3 to about 0.380 g/cm3;
- a weight from about 1.0 g to about 4.0 g;
- a footprint from about 1 cm2 to about 50 cm2;
- wherein the fibrous elements comprise filaments;
- wherein the plurality of fibrous elements are inter-entangled or otherwise associated with one another to form the fibrous structure;
- wherein the fibrous structure is a conditioner composition.
