FIELD OF THE INVENTION

Laundry detergent composition comprising freshness active.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

Laundry unit dose articles have become very popular with the consumer. Such articles are usually constmcted of one or more water-soluble films shaped to provide at least one internal compartment. Contained within the internal compartment is a laundry detergent composition. Upon addition to water, the water-soluble film dissolves releasing the composition in to the wash liquor.

Freshness actives are known to provide benefits in laundr detergent compositions. Often such freshness actives are in the form of perfumes or encapsulated perfumes. An issue with freshness actives is that a lot of the material tends to be lost during the wash process since it does not deposit on the fabrics and is subsequently washed away with the wash liquor. Therefore, large concentrations of freshness actives need to be added to the wash liquor to achieve the desired deposition onto the fabrics.

In the case of water-soluble unit dose articles, there is a restriction on how much material can be formulated into the article. This is due to a physical size constraint of the unit dose article. Therefore, it is often difficult to achieve a desired scent experience on the laundered fabrics in lieu of the concentration of freshness materials achieved in the unit dose article. Increasing the concentration of freshness materials in the unit dose article is at the expense of other materials present, often negatively impacting the fabric cleaning experience.

There is a need in the art for an improved freshness/scent experience on fabrics laundered with a water-soluble unit dose article whilst still maintaining excellent cleaning.

The Inventors surprisingly found that deposition of freshness actives on to fabrics during the wash cycle could be improved by carefully controlling the ratio of freshness actives, anionic surfactant and non-ionic surfactant in the detergent composition.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

The present invention is to a water-soluble laundry unit dose article comprising a liquid composition, wherein said composition comprises;

an anionic surfactant; an ethoxylated alcohol non-ionic surfactant;

water;

wherein the weight ratio of total anionic : non-ionic is between 5: 1 and 23: 1 ; and wherein the composition comprises between 0.1 wt% and 5wt% of a perfume and between 0.1 wt% and 5wt% of an encapsulated perfume.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

Water-soluble laundry unit dose article

The water-soluble unit dose article comprises a water-soluble film and a liquid composition. The water-soluble film and liquid laundry detergent composition are described in more detail below.

The unit dose article herein is typically a closed structure, made of the water-soluble film enclosing an internal volume which comprises the liquid composition.

The unit dose article can be used as a fully formulated consumer product, or may be added to one or more further ingredient to form a fully formulated consumer product. The unit dose article may be a 'pre- treat' composition which is added to a fabric, preferably a fabric stain, ahead of the fabric being added to a wash liquor. The unit dose article can be used in a fabric hand, wash operation or may be used in an automatic machine fabric wash operation.

The volume of the liquid laundry detergent composition within the unit dose article maybe between 10 ml and 30 ml, preferably between 10 ml and 23 ml, preferably between 10 ml and 20 ml. Without wishing to be bound by theory, it was found that by carefully regulating the volume, the unit dose article was less likely to become trapped between the door and the seal, or within the seal itself of an automatic laundr washing machine.

The unit dose article may have a weight of less than 35 g, or even between 10 g and 28 g, or even between 10 g and. 25 g. Without wishing to be bound by theory, it was found that by carefully regulating the weight, the unit dose article was less likely to become trapped between the door and the seal, or within the seal itself of an automatic laundry washing machine.

The unit dose article may comprise a gas, and wherein the ratio of the volume of said gas to the volume of the liquid laundry detergent composition is between 1 :4 and 1 :20, or even between 1 :5 and 1 : 15, or even between 1 :5 and 1 :9.

The water-soluble unit dose article may comprise multiple compartments. The unit dose article may comprise two, or three, or four or five compartments. At least one compartment comprises a composition. Each compartment may comprise the same or a different composition. The unit dose article comprises a liquid composition, however, it may also comprise different compositions in different compartments. The composition may be a solid,, liquid, gel, fluid, dispersion or a mixture thereof.

The water-soluble film is shaped such that it defines the shape of the compartment, such that the compartment is completely surrounded by the film. The compartment may be formed from a single film, or multiple films. For example the compartment may be formed, from two films which are sealed together (e.g. heat sealed, solvent sealed or a combination thereof). The water-soluble film is sealed such that the composition does not leak out of the compartment during storage. However, upon addition of the water-soluble pouch to water, the water-soluble film dissolves and releases the contents of the internal compartment into the wash liquor.

The water-soluble unit dose article can be of any form, shape and material which is suitable for holding the composition, i.e. without allowing the release of the composition, and any additional component, from the unit dose article prior to contact of the unit dose article with water. The exact execution will depend,, for example, on the type and amount of the compositions in the unit dose article. The unit dose article may have a substantially, square, rectangular, oval, elliptoid, superelliptical, or circular shape. The shape may or may not include any excess material present as a flange or skirt at the point where two or more films are sealed together. By substantially, we herein mean that the shape has an o verall impression of being for example square. It may have rounded corners and/or non-straight sides, but overall it gives the impression of being square for example.

A multi-compartment unit dose article form may be desirable for such reasons as: separating chemically incompatible ingredients; or where it is desirable for a portion of the ingredients to be released into the wash earlier or later,

The multiple compartments may be arranged in any suitable orientation. For example the unit dose article may comprise a bottom compartment, and at least a first top compartment, wherein the top compartment is superposed onto the bottom compartment. The unit dose article may- comprise a bottom compartment and. at least a first and a second top compartment, wherein the top compartments are arranged side- by-side and are superposed on the bottom compartment; preferably, wherein the article comprises a bottom compartment and at least a first, a second and a third top compartment, wherein the top compartments are arranged side-by-side and are superposed, on the bottom compartment. Alternatively, the compartments may all be positioned in a side-by-side arrangement. In such an arrangement the compartments may be connected to one another and share a dividing wall, or may be substantially separated and simple held together by a connector or bridge. Alternatively, the compartments may be arranged, in a 'tyre and rim' orientation, i.e. a first compartment is positioned next to a second compartment, but the first compartment at least partially surrounds the second compartment, but does not completely enclose the second compartment. The unit dose article may comprise two compartments, wherein a first compartment comprises from 5% and 20% by weight of the compartment of a chelant, preferably wherein the chelant is in a solid form.

Preferably, the unit dose article ruptures between 10 seconds and 5 minutes once the unit dose article has been added to 950ml of deionised water at 20-21°C in a 1L beaker, wherein the water is stirred at 35Qrpm with a 5cm magnetic stirrer bar. By rupture, we herein mean the film is seen to visibly break or split. Shortly after the film breaks or splits the internal liquid detergent composition may be seen to exit the unit dose article into the surrounding water.

It is an object of the present invention to provide an improved freshness/scent experience on fabrics laundered with a water-soluble unit dose article whilst still maintaining excellent cleaning. It is a further object of the present invention to provide an improved freshness/scent experience on fabrics laundered with a water-soluble unit dose article whilst alos providing improved cleaning.

Water-soluble film

The film of the unit dose article is soluble or dispersible in water, and preferably has a water-solubility of at least 50%, preferably at least 75% or even at least 95%, as measured by the method set out here after using a glass-filter with a maximum pore size of 20 microns:

50 grams ± 0.1 gram of film material is added in a pre-weighed 400 ml beaker and 245ml

± 1ml of distilled water is added. This is stirred vigorously on a magnetic stirrer set at 600 rpm, for 30 minutes. Then, the mixture is filtered through a folded qualitative sintered-glass filter with a pore size as defined above (max. 20 micron). The water is dried off from the collected filtrate by any conventional method, and. the weight of the remaining material is determined (which is the dissolved or dispersed fraction). Then, the percentage solubility or dispersability can be calculated. Preferred film materials are preferably polymeric materials. The film material can, for example, be obtained by casting, blow-moulding, extrusion or blown extrusion of the polymeric material, as known in the art.

Mixtures of polymers can also be used as the film material. This can be beneficial to control the mechanical and/or dissolution properties of the compartments or pouch, depending on the application thereof and the required needs. Suitable mixtures include for example mixtures wherein one polymer has a higher water-solubility than another polymer, and/or one polymer has a higher mechanical strength than another polymer. Also suitable are mixtures of polymers having different weight average molecular weights, for example a mixture of PVA or a copolymer thereof of a weight average molecular weight of about 10,000- 40,000, preferably around 20,000, and of PVA or copolymer thereof, with a weight average molecular weight of about 100,000 to 300,000, preferably around 150,000. Also suitable herein are polymer blend compositions, for example comprising hydrolytically degradable and water-soluble polymer blends such as polylacti.de and polyvinyl alcohol, obtained by mixing polylactide and polyvinyl alcohol, typically comprising about 1-35% by weight polylactide and about 65% to 99% by weight polyvinyl alcohol. Preferred for use herein are polymers which are from about 60% to about 98%. hydrolysed, preferably about 80%> to about 90%> hydrolysed, to improve the dissolution characteristics of the material. Preferred films exhibit good dissolution in cold water, meaning unheated water straight from the tap. Preferably such films exhibit good dissolution at temperatures below 25°C, more preferably below 21 °C, more preferably below 15°C. By good dissolution it is meant that the film exhibits water-solubility of at least 50%, preferably at least 75% or even at least 95%, as measured by the method set out here after using a glass-filter with a maximum pore size of 20 microns, described above.

Preferred films are those supplied by Monosol under the trade references M8630, M8900, M8779, M8310, films described in US 6 166 1 17 and US 6 787 512 and PVA films of corresponding solubility and deform ab lity characteristics. Further preferred films are those describes in US2006/0213801 , WO 2010/119022, US201 1/0 88784 and US6787512.

Preferred, water soluble films are those resins comprising one or more FVA polymers, preferably said water soluble film resin comprises a blend of PVA polymers. For example, the PVA resin can include at least two FVA polymers, wherein as used herein the first PVA polymer has a viscosity iess than the second FVA polymer. A first PVA polymer can have a viscosity of at least 8 cP icP mean ceniipoi.se), 10 cF, 12 cP, or 13 cP and at most 40 cF, 20 cP, 15 cF, or 13 cP, for example in a range of about 8 cP to about 40 cP, or 10 cP to about 20 cP, or about 10 cP to about 15 cF, or about 12 cP to about 14 cP, or 1 3 cP. Furthermore, a second PVA polymer can have a viscosity of at least about 10 cP, 20 cP, or 22 cP and at most about 40 cP, 30 cF, 25 cP, or 24 cP, for example in a range of about 1 0 cP to about 40 cP, or 20 to about 30 cP, or about 20 to about 25 cP, or about 22 to about 24, or about 23 cP. The viscosity of a PVA polymer is determined by measuring a freshly made solution using a Brookfield LV type viscometer with UL adapter as described in British Standard EN ISO 15023-2:2006 Annex E Brookfield Test method. It is international practice to state the viscosity of 4% aqueous polyvinyl alcohol solutions at 20 .deg.C. All viscosities specified herein in cP should be understood to refer to the viscosity of 4% aqueous polyvinyl alcohol solution at 20 .deg.C, unless specified otherwise. Similarly, when a resin is described as having (or not having) a particular viscosity, unless specified otherwise, it is intended that the specified viscosity is the average viscosity for the resin, which inherently has a corresponding molecular weight dist.ribut.ion.

The individual F VA polymers can have any suitable degree of hydrolysis, as long as the degree of hydrolysis of ^" the PVA resin is within the ranges described herein. Optionally, the PVA resin can, in addition or in the alternative, include a first PVA polymer that has a Mw in a range of about 50,000 to about 300,000 Daitons, or about 60,000 to about 150,000 Daitons: and a second PVA polymer that has a Mw n a range of about 60,000 to about 300,000 Daltons, or about 80,000 to about 250,000 Daltons.

The PVA resin can still further include one or more additional PVA polymers that have a viscosity in a range of about 10 to about 40 cP and a degree of hydrolysis in a range of about 84% to about 92%.

When the PVA resin includes a first PVA polymer having an average viscosity less than about 11 cP and a polydisnersity index in a range of about 1.8 to about 2,3, then in one type of embodiment the PVA resin contains less than about 30 t.% of the first PVA polymer.

Similarly, when the PVA resin includes a first PVA polymer having an average viscosity less than about 1 1 cP and a polydispersity index in a range of about 1.8 to about 2.3, then in another, non-exclusive type of embodiment the PVA resin contains less than about 30 wt.% of a PVA polymer having a Mw less than about 70,000 Daitons.

Of the total PVA resin content in hie film described herein, the PVA resin can comprise about 30 to about 85 wt.% of the first PVA polymer, or about 45 to about 55 wt.% of the first PVA polymer. Por example, the PVA resin can contain about 50 wt.% of each PVA polymer, wherein the viscosity of the first PVA polymer is about 13 cP and the viscosity of the second

PVA polymer is about 23 cP.

One type of embodiment is characterized by the PVA resin including about 40 to about

85 wt.% of a first PV A polymer thai has a viscosity in a range of about 10 to about 15 cP and a degree of hydrolysis in a range of about 84% to about 92%.

Preferably the PVA resin has a weighted, average degree of hydrolysis (H° ) between about 80 and about 92 %, or between about 83 and about 90 %, or about 85 and 89%. For example, H° for a PVA resin thai comprises two or more PVA polymers is calculated by the formula H° - ^ l^ ⁷ * ^' · HJ where W; is the weight percentage of the respective PVA polymer and a Hj is the respective degrees of hydrolysis. Still further it is desirable to choose a PV A resin that has a weighted log viscosity (« ) between about 10 and about 25, or between about 12 and 22, or between about 13.5 and about 20, The μ for a PVA resin that comprises two or more PVA polymers is calculated by the formula μ - e^ ^{1 h} ' where μ, is the viscosity for the respective PVA polymers.
