Patent ID: 7205000

Claim:
A storage stable prepackaged flowable slurry comprising (a) sodium bicarbonate, (b) sodium chloride in a combined amount of from about 50% to about 80% by weight, and (c) water in an amount of about 20% to about 50% by weight, in a weight ratio of (a)/(b) of about 2.5:1 to about 3.5:1, said sodium bicarbonate particles having a median particle size of about 0.2 μm to about 50 μm and a surface area of about 120 m 2 /g to about 140 m 2 /g, wherein upon further dilution of said storage stable prepackaged flowable slurry with additional water, the amount of sodium bicarbonate and sodium chloride which dissolves into said additional water is in the same ratio as said weight ratio of (a)/(b) in said slurry before said additional dilution.
