Abstract

Solid cake compositions comprising poly(ethylene oxide), surfactant and water-soluble salt. The compositions have controlled solubility characteristics, thereby reducing the tendency of the resin to form a gel when the cake is contacted with water. The cakes are useful in dispensers which are employed in the flush tank of a toilet to automatically dispense chemicals to the flush water.
