Abstract

Solid compositions comprising water degradable oligomers of hydroxyacetic acid and lactic acid having molecular weights of 800-4000 and containing 40-60 mole percent hydroxyacetic acid. The compositions are useful as controlled release agents for chemicals, especially as a toilet bowl cleaning component. Optional ingredients include dyes, fragrances, filler materials, surfactants, algicides, pest control agents, quaternary ammonium salts, and mixtures thereof.
