Abstract
Described are effervescent dissolvable solid structures comprising effervescent agglomerated particles which enhance the consumer experience and can improve dissolution of the structure. Also described are processes for the Dissolvable Solid Structure comprising effervescent agglomerated particles. Also described are methods for making the effervescent agglomerated particle.
Claims22
A dissolvable solid structure comprising:
- a) a plurality of fibrous elements, wherein the fibrous elements comprise:
- i. from about 10% to about 75% by weight of a detersive surfactant;
- ii. from about 10% to about 70% by weight water soluble polymeric structurant;
- wherein the plurality of fibrous elements are inter-entangled or otherwise associated with one another to form the dissolvable solid structure;
- and
- wherein at least 50% of the fibrous elements comprise an average diameter less than about 150 microns;
- b) a plurality of effervescent agglomerated particles wherein each effervescent particle comprises:
- i. a carbonic acid particle comprising a solid metal salt of a carbonic acid;
- ii. an acid particle comprising a solid acid;
- and
- iii. a binder that binds the carbonic acid particle to the acid particle;
- wherein the plurality of effervescent agglomerated particles are distributed throughout the dissolvable structure;
- and
- wherein the agglomerated particle comprises a particle size of greater than 300 microns and less than 1000 microns.
