Definitions

  • the present invention relates to toilet blocks.
  • Toilet blocks are blocks of a slowly soluble material either in containers attached to the rim of a toilet (so-called 'rim-blocks') or in the cistern of the toilet (so-called 'cistern-blocks')-
  • the slowly soluble material can comprise a mixture of surfactant and optional filler as well as various functional ingredients such as perfumes dyestuffs and bleaches. Both types of block dissolve slowly in use: the rim block dissolving in the flush water that meets with it when the toilet is flushed and the cistern block dissolving in the water contained in the cistern between flushes.
  • Toilet blocks containing bleaching agents based on halogen release agents are known to be unstable, one way of countering this effect has been to include a source of certain metal ions as described in EP 0 341 836.
  • the present invention mitigates the problem of thermal heating within toilet blocks.
  • the present invention also improves the manufacturing process of toilet blocks.

  • the heavy metal deactivating agent is present in only one phase of a dual phase block it is preferably if the level of bleach within this phase is from 0.2 to 1% of the total weight of ingredients within that phase.
  • a surfactant may be present in the toilet block.
  • the surfactant component of the block may be anionic or nonionic in nature.
