Stable anhydrous dish soap and method of making same
The application relates to stable, anhydrous dish soap formulation.
1 . A stable anhydrous dish soap formulation in a solid form, comprising a non-ionic surfactant, an enzyme, and a filler, wherein the non-ionic surfactant comprises sorbitan caprylate, wherein the dish soap formulation is in the form of a tablet, and wherein the tablet weighs from about 3.0 to less than 8.7 grams.
2 . The dish soap formulation of claim 1 , wherein the filler comprises sodium bicarbonate and/or sodium carbonate.
3 . The dish soap formulation of claim 1 , further comprising a liquid ingredient carrier or flow aid.
4 . The dish soap formulation of claim 1 , further comprising a water softener.
5 . The dish soap formulation of claim 1 , optionally further comprising probiotics, dish drying agent, powder drying agent, anti-foaming agent, or essential oil.
6 . The dish soap formulation of claim 3 , wherein the amount of the liquid ingredient carrier or flow aid ranges from 0.1 to 1% by weight.
7 . The dish soap formulation of claim 1 , which is anionic surfactant free, alginate free, alcohol free, glycol free, glycerol free, sodium sulfate free, and/or polyvinyl alcohol free.
8 . The dish soap formulation of claim 1 , wherein the dish soap formulation is suitable for use in a single application.
9 . The dish soap formulation of claim 1 , further comprising a second non-ionic surfactant, wherein the second non-ionic surfactant comprises a glucoside.
10 . The dish soap formulation of claim 1 , which is used in a dish washer.
11 . The dish soap formulation of claim 1 , wherein the non-ionic surfactant is present in an amount of 1-10 wt % based on the total weight of the formulation.
12 . The dish soap formulation of claim 1 , wherein the filler is present in an amount of 30-70 wt % based on the total weight of the formulation.
13 . The dish soap formulation of claim 4 , wherein the water softener is present in an amount of 25-35 wt % based on the total weight of the formulation.
14 . The dish soap formulation of claim 1 , wherein the enzyme is present in an amount of 1-10 wt % based on the total weight of the formulation.
15 . The dish soap formulation of claim 1 , further comprising a second non-ionic surfactant, wherein the second non-ionic surfactant comprises at least one of lauryl glucoside and/or myristyl glucoside.
16 . The dish soap formulation of claim 4 , wherein the water softener comprises sodium citrate and/or citric acid.
17 . The dish soap formulation of claim 1 , wherein the enzyme comprises a protease and/or amylase.
18 . The dish soap formulation of claim 1 , wherein sorbitan caprylate is a mild cleaner that can boost antibacterial activity and/or an anti-filming agent.
19 . The dish soap formulation of claim 1 , wherein the dish soap formulation is effervescent.
20 . The dish soap formulation of claim 1 , wherein the dish soap formulation comprises more than 40% by weight of solids and is substantially fatty acid free.
