UNIT DOSE PODS

A Measured Dose. Designed for the Task.

Laundry and dishwasher pods deliver a measured amount of concentrated formulation in a water-soluble film. During use, the film dissolves and releases the formulation into the washing process. A pod may contain liquid, powder or a combination of ingredients in separate chambers.

01

Pre-measured dosage

A defined amount of formulation for the intended application.

02

Water-soluble film

Designed to contain the formulation during storage and dissolve under intended conditions.

03

Flexible structures

One or multiple chambers, with liquid, powder or combined formats.

ACTIVE CONTENT DELIVERY SYSTEM

Designed Around Active Content Delivery

Laundry powder, liquid detergent, tablets and pods use different methods to carry, protect, measure and release ingredients. ACDS considers the complete journey: select, combine, protect, measure, deliver and release.

01

Pre-measured

Deliver a defined dose in a compact format.

02

Ingredient combination

Combine different ingredient types in a single product.

03

Separation

Keep selected ingredients apart before use where appropriate.

APPLICATIONS

Two Applications. One Unit Dose Platform.

Laundry and automatic dishwasher products share a delivery platform while serving different washing tasks.

FORMATS & STRUCTURES

Different Ingredients. Different Pod Structures.

A successful structure begins with the formulation and the function it needs to perform.

01

Liquid Pods

Concentrated liquid formulations in one or more chambers. Development considers viscosity, film compatibility, sealing, stability and dissolution.

02

Powder Pods

Pre-measured dry formulations. Development considers powder flow, dosing accuracy, moisture sensitivity and ingredient stability.

03

Powder–Liquid Pods

Separate chambers can combine liquid and dry ingredients in one dose. Compatibility and stability require evaluation.

PERFORMANCE BY APPLICATION
