Packaged Detergent Composition
Patent No. EP2892992 (titled "Packaged Detergent Composition") was filed by Reckitt Benckiser on Aug 15, 2013. The application was issued on Jan 10, 2018.
Patent Summary
Packaged detergent compositions that partially dissolve in water when added to washing machines. The compositions have a main container that disintegrates and contains the detergent solution. Inside the main container is a secondary container filled with gas. The secondary container partially dissolves along with the main container when added to water, releasing the gas. This prevents interactions between the detergent and the secondary container contents that could damage the main container. The gas expands inside the secondary container during dissolution, counteracting the force of the water and preventing the secondary container from collapsing prematurely.
