Fibrous matrix of synthetic detergents
View Patent ↗The present invention relates to a fibrous matrix of synthetic detergents. The fibrous matrix includes fibers formed of a synthetic wax and a primary surfactant embedded in the fibers. The fibrous matrix further includes a secondary surfactant embedded in the fibers.
1. A fibrous matrix of synthetic detergents, the fibrous matrix comprising:
fibers formed of a synthetic wax, wherein the fibers are completely soluble in aqueous media;
a primary surfactant embedded in the fibers; and
a secondary surfactant embedded in the fibers.
2. The fibrous matrix of claim 1 wherein the primary surfactant includes a surfactant monomer having a hydrophobic tail portion and a hydrophilic head group.
3. The fibrous matrix of claim 1 wherein the secondary surfactant includes a surfactant monomer having a hydrophobic tail portion and a hydrophilic head group.
4. The fibrous matrix of claim 1 wherein the synthetic wax is an ethylenic polymer.
5. The fibrous matrix of claim 1 wherein the fibers form a sheet.
6. The fibrous matrix of claim 5 wherein the sheet includes at least one fold.
7. The fibrous matrix of claim 5 wherein the sheet includes at least one perforation.
8. The fibrous matrix of claim 1 wherein the fibers form a continuous web.
9. The fibrous matrix of claim 8 wherein the continuous web is formed into a roll.
10. The fibrous matrix of claim 1 further comprising at least one additional ingredient embedded in the fibers.
11. The fibrous matrix of claim 1 wherein the at least one additional ingredient is an odor control ingredient.
12. The fibrous matrix of claim 1 wherein the fibers are in a substantially cylindrical form.
13. A fibrous matrix of synthetic detergents, the fibrous matrix comprising:
fibers formed of a synthetic wax, wherein the fibers are completely soluble in acqueous media;
a primary surfactant embedded in the fibers; and
a secondary surfactant embedded in the fibers, wherein the primary surfactant and the secondary surfactant are suspended in the fibers.
14. A fibrous matrix of synthetic detergents, the fibrous matrix comprising:
fibers formed of a synthetic wax, wherein the fibers are completely soluble in acqueous media;
a primary surfactant embedded in the fibers; and
a secondary surfactant embedded in the fibers, wherein the primary surfactant and the secondary surfactant are dissolved within the fibers.
15. A fibrous matrix of synthetic detergents, the fibrous matrix comprising:
fibers formed of a synthetic wax, wherein the fibers are completely soluble in acqueous media;
a primary surfactant embedded in the fibers; and
a secondary surfactant embedded in the fibers, wherein the fibers are arranged in an orthogonal pattern.
