A water soluble unit dose article comprising at least one compartment, wherein the compartment comprises a composition, and wherein the compartment has a substantially super-elliptical shape. A method of making the unit dose article. An apparatus used in the process.

A three-compartment water-soluble capsule, each compartment containing a part of a liquid detergent composition, the compartments being arranged side-by-side to provide a central compartment flanked on respective sides by a first and a second side compartment, the capsule being formed from two sheets of water-soluble film, the two sheets of film being sealed together to form a sealing web around each compartment, the sealing web lying in a sealing plane, each of the three compartments extending at a maximum the same distance above and below the sealing plane, wherein the sealing web comprises an annular sealing web defining the periphery of the capsule, and two internal sealing webs which each extend across the capsule, each internal sealing web serving to connect the central compartment with an adjacent side compartment and to separate their contents, wherein each internal sealing web has a continuously curved shape.

The disclosure provides a water soluble film suitable for thermoforming deep-drawn profiles, the film including a mixture of a water soluble polyvinyl alcohol (PVOH) resin and a plasticizer, and the film being characterized by a storage modulus at 90° C. less than 1.5×10.sup.8. The disclosure further provides a thermoformed article comprising the water soluble film according to the disclosure.

Water-soluble refill dose articles for forming a cleanser have a water-soluble film defining a first compartment enclosing a first composition and a second compartment enclosing a second composition, which are individual separate articles or are part of an integral article. The first composition has a rheology modifier, a first surfactant, 10% or less by weight water, 20% or less by weight glycol, and the first surfactant does not activate the rheology modifier. The second compartment has an alkaline substance that when mixed with the first composition and water activates the rheology modifier to increase the viscosity of a resulting cleanser and 10% or less by weight water. When the article is diluted in water at a 1:1 to 1:20 ratio, it produces a cleanser having a viscosity within a range of 2000 cps to 50,000 cps.

The present invention provides a multi-compartment laundry detergent water-soluble pouch, wherein the pouch comprises a first compartment and a second compartment, wherein the first compartment comprises a benefit delivery composition, wherein the second compartment comprises a detergent ingredient, wherein the benefit delivery composition comprises a lamellar phase composition and a viscous hydrophobic ingredient, wherein the lamellar phase composition comprises a mixture of surfactant and fatty amphiphile in lamellar phase, wherein the viscous hydrophobic ingredient comprises silicone and/or petrolatum.

A phosphate-free automatic dishwashing cleaning composition including an organic complexing agent and a new protease.

The disclosure relates to compositions comprising a polysaccharide derivative, wherein the polysaccharide derivative comprises a polysaccharide substituted with a) at least one hydrophobic group, and b) at least one hydrophilic group, wherein the polysaccharide is poly alpha-1,3-glucan, poly alpha-1,6-glucan, or poly alpha-1,3-1,6-glucan.

The present invention relates generally to surfactant and detergent compositions and, more specifically, to surfactant and detergent compositions containing an ethoxylated diol.

The present invention relates generally to compositions containing anionic surfactant and solvent, more specifically, to compositions containing anionic surfactant and a solvent comprising butanediol.

The present invention relates generally to compositions containing an anionic surfactant selected from the group consisting of alkyl sulfates, alkoxylated alkyl sulfates, and mixtures thereof, and a solvent, particularly a solvent comprising one or more diols.
