Abstract
A solid combination of compounds capable of being packaged in a single, air tight container, and capable of forming an odor barrier for trapping/blocking odors, especially in relation to a toilet, urinal or other aqueous based waste container/vehicle/pipe/drain is provided, as is a method for its use. The combination comprises (i) a first component comprising an alkaline effervescent compound in solid form, (ii) a second component comprising an acid in solid form, and (iii) an oxidizing agent in solid form, and at least one of the first component and second components comprise a stable foam-forming surfactant in solid form. The first component reacts with the second components to form a stable foam odor barrier which traps/blocks odors.

A combination capable of forming an odour barrier comprising a stable foam, the combination comprising:
- (i) a first component comprising an alkaline effervescent compound in solid form,
- (ii) a second component comprising an acid in solid form,
- (iii) an oxidising agent in solid form, and
- (iv) an activator
- wherein at least one of the first component and second component comprises a stable foam-forming surfactant in solid form,
- the first component reacts with the second component to form a stable foam odour barrier which traps/blocks odours emanating from an aqueous based medium,
- together with a multi-compartmented air-tight and moisture-tight container,
- wherein the first component and second component of the combination are packaged in the multi-compartmented air-tight and moisture-tight container, thereby separating the base and acid components in the packaging to prevent reaction, until combination is required to form an odour barrier by addition to an aqueous medium.
A method of trapping/blocking odors emanating from an aqueous based medium comprising contacting the aqueous based medium with a combination capable of forming an odour barrier comprising a stable foam, the combination comprising:
- (i) a first component comprising an alkaline effervescent compound in solid form,
- (ii) a second component comprising an acid in solid form,
- (iii) an oxidising agent in solid form, and
- (iv) an activator
- wherein at least one of the first component and second component comprises a stable foam-forming surfactant in solid form,
- the first component reacts with the second component to form a stable foam odour barrier which traps/blocks odours emanating from an aqueous based medium,
- together with a multi-compartmented air-tight and moisture-tight container,
- wherein the first component and second component of the combination are packaged in the multi-compartmented air-tight and moisture-tight container, thereby separating the base and acid components in the packaging to prevent reaction, until combination is required to form an odour barrier by addition to an aqueous medium.
A combination capable of forming an odor barrier comprising a stable foam, the combination comprising:
- (i) a first component comprising anhydrous sodium hydrogen carbonate in solid form,
- (ii) a second component comprising anhydrous citric acid in solid form,
- (iii) an oxidizing agent in solid form, and
- (iv) xanthan gum in solid form,
- wherein at least one of the first component and the second component comprises sodium methyl oleoyl taurate in solid form,
- the first component reacts with the second component to form a stable foam odor barrier which traps/blocks odors emanating from an aqueous based medium,
- together with a multi-compartmented air-tight and moisture-tight container,
- wherein the first component and the second component of the combination are packaged in the multiple-compartmented, air-tight and moisture-tight container, thereby separating the first and second components in the packaging to prevent reaction, until the combination is required to form an odour barrier by addition to an aqueous medium.
