Abstract:

An effervescent compound is disclosed which includes a solvent and an effervescent system. The solvent may be both hydrophilic and have low solubility with organic effervescent ingredients. The solvent may include a glycol ether, for example, but not limited to, 2-butoxyethanol. The effervescent system used in the effervescent compound may be, for example, but is not limited to, expanded sodium perborate or a mixture of sodium bicarbonate, sodium carbonate, and an acid. The effervescent compound may further include any one, or all, or any combination of the following ingredients: surfactants, bleaching compositions, anti-redeposition agents, binders, lubricants, colors, fragrances, and/or optical brighteners. Also disclosed is a method for making an effervescent compound, including the steps of providing a solvent, providing an effervescent system in powder form, and mixing the solvent with the effervescent system, thereby producing a free-flowing effervescent compound. The method disclosed may also include the steps of compressing the effervescent compound, and then forming either granules or a tablet.

International Classification:

C11D 7704

US Classification:

510191, 422 5, 424 765

Abstract:

Disclosed is a toilet bowl cleaner that includes a hypochlorite generator and an effervescent system that produces a foam level approximately one inch above a water line in the toilet. The cleaner may be prepared, stored and packaged in a manner that prevents moisture from initiating premature decomposition of the cleaning components. The toilet bowl cleaner may also include a binder, lubricant, fragrance, and a surfactant mixture. Further, the toilet bowler cleaner may be in the form of a tablet, granules, or a powder. The toilet bowl cleaner may also be coated with a surfactant mixture. Also disclosed is a method for producing the toilet bowl cleaner, including the steps of: combining an effervescent system, a hypochlorite generator, and a binder to form a pre-mix; blending the pre-mix in a blender for approximately 15 to 20 minutes; adding a lubricant to the blended pre-mix; and blending the lubricant with the blended pre-mix for approximately three to four minutes to form a cleaner blend. The cleaner blend may then be formed into tablets, granules, or a powder.
