Flexible, porous, dissolvable solid sheet article containing direct-added microcapsules and process for making the same

A process for preparing a solid sheet article, comprising:

• a) providing a wet pre-mixture comprising a water-soluble polymer, a surfactant and polyacrylate microcapsules, wherein said wet pre-mixture has a viscosity of from about 1,000 cps to about 25,000 cps measured at 40° C. and 1 s−1, wherein each of said microcapsules comprises a core and a shell at least partially surrounding the core, and wherein the core comprises a benefit agent;
• and
• b) aerating said wet pre-mixture to form an aerated wet pre-mixture having a density of from about 0.05 to about 0.5 g/ml;
• and
• c) forming said aerated wet pre-mixture into a sheet;
• and
• d) drying said formed sheet for a drying time of from about 1 minute to about 60 minutes at a temperature from about 140° C. to about 200° C. to form said solid sheet article, wherein a heating direction is offset from a gravitational direction by at least 90 degrees.
