A water-soluble extruded article is made of homogeneous material including a water-soluble polymer with an extrusion temperature of 50 to 150 ° C. This relatively low extrusion temperature is compatible with assets that would otherwise be destroyed in a high temperature extrusion process. The article further includes from 0.1% to 50% by weight of an active agent. Potential active agents include isothiazolone, alkyl dimethyl ammonium chloride, a triazine, 2-thiocyanomethylthio benzothiazole, methylene bis thiocyanate, acrolein, a dodecylguanidine hydrochloride, a chlorophenol, a quaternary ammonium salt, glutaraldehyde, a dithiocarbamate, 2-mercazolate, -chloro-meta-xylenol, silver compounds, chlorhexidine, polyhexamethylene biguanide, one n-halamine, triclosan, one phospholipid, one alpha-hydroxy acid, 2,2-dibromo-3-nitrilopropionamide, 2-bromo-2 -nitro-1,3-propanediol, iodine, bromine, hydrogen peroxide, chlorine dioxide, ozone, a botanical oil, a botanical extract, chlorine, sodium hypochlorite, farnesol, inulin, prebiotics, benzalkonium chloride, and combinations of the same. The article may be in the form of a film and, in one possible use, may be arranged in an absorbent article. |
