Abstract
A method of adjusting dispense rate of a solid detergent block of a detergent composition is described here. A solid detergent block is produced from this method may have a predetermined dispense rate or a comparable dispense rate as a solid detergent block produced by extruding method. A process for producing a solid detergent block and a solid detergent composition are also disclosed.
Claims15
A method of adjusting a dispense rate of a solid detergent composition comprising:
- generating a solid detergent composition by mixing a first solid composition comprising an anionic surfactant and a second solid composition comprising an alkaline source to obtain a solid mixture, and forming the solid mixture into a solid block, wherein the solid detergent composition is free of an oxidizer and free of a peroxyacid and its initializer;
- dispensing a portion of the solid detergent composition;
- monitoring the dispensing of the portion of the solid detergent composition;
- determining the dispense rate of the solid detergent composition;
- and
- adjusting the dispense rate of the solid detergent composition by modifying the concentration of the anionic surfactant.

A method of adjusting a dispense rate of a solid detergent composition comprising:
- providing a dispenser configured for an existing detergent composition;
- modifying a concentration of an anionic surfactant in a solid detergent composition by mixing a first solid composition comprising the anionic surfactant and a second solid comprising an alkaline source in order to adjust the dispense rate of a solid detergent composition and obtain a solid mixture, wherein the solid detergent composition is free of an oxidizer and free of a peroxyacid and its initializer;
- and
- forming the solid mixture into a solid block;
- wherein modifying of the concentration of the anionic surfactant adjusts the dispense rate of the solid detergent composition such that the solid detergent composition provides an essentially same dispense rate as the existing detergent composition.
