The dissolution rates of seven scent booster bead products were compared including three Chemtrax products, and the baseline comparative product brands Arm + Hammer, Downy, MS, and Lanther. Five grams of each scent booster bead product were immersed in 100ml of tap water (68 degrees F). The amount of dissolution of each product was observed at 5 mins, 10 mins, 30 mins, 60 mins, 90 mins, and 120 mins. The dissolution of each product was ranked on a scale from 0 to 3 following the criteria below...
0=0% dissolved
1=1-49% dissolved
2=50-99% dissolved
3=100% dissolved
Other Observations:
The Arm + Hammer and Downy scent booster beads immediately started to dissolve upon contact with the water
Only the Downy scent booster beads were able to fully dissolve within the 2-hour observation period and had fully dissolved by the 10-minute mark. The Chemtrax Lavender and Rose scent booster beads dissolved at a similar rate to the Lanther scent booster beads, and just slightly slower than the MS scent booster beads. The Chemtrax Green Tea scent booster beads exhibited the slowest dissolution rate.
