Abstract:
A method of delivery of active substances to a water-filled environment, specifically a toilet bowl, with a water-soluble polymer as the primary delivery means. The present invention is activated by placement in the water, with the soluble polymer protecting the skin from exposure to the active ingredients. The soluble polymer is composed of a bi-layer capsule or tablet, preferably, with a solid, gas, gel, or liquid core. Alkali metal particles embedded in an interior layer of the capsule or tablet react with water once an exterior layer has dissolved. The alkali metal particles elevate water temperature, especially locally to the interior layer, and volatilize active substances contained within the interior layer. The active substances are preferably deodorants. Alternatively, capsule or tablet is covered with a non-water-soluble final coating layer so that if the present invention is stored or delivered in an aqueous solution, the active substances will not be delivered until desired.
