Abstract:
1. A solid detergent composition consisting essentially of: a polycarboxylic acid polymer selected from the group consisting of: a polyacrylic acid polymer having a molecular weight of between about 1,000 and about 100,000, a modified polyacrylic acid polymer having a molecular weight of between about 1,000 and about 100,000, and a polymaleic acid polymer having a molecular weight of between about 500 and about 5,000; sodium carbonate; water; less than 0.5% by weight phosphorous; and at least one functional ingredient; wherein the solid detergent composition is a hydrate solid, and if heated at a temperature of 120 degrees Fahrenheit, the solid detergent composition is dimensionally stable and has a growth exponent of less than 2%.
