Claims
- 1. A detergent composition having improved solubility in water comprising:(a) a surfactant selected from the group consisting of an anionic surfactant, a nonionic surfactant, a cationic surfactant, an amphoteric surfactant, and mixtures thereof; (b) a disintegrator component; and (c) defoamer granules containing intermediate product comprising support material, sprayed with an aqueous silicone emulsion wherein the detergent composition is in tabled form, and wherein at least 85% by weight, based on the weight of the defoamer granules, of the defoamer granules have a mean diameter below 1.5 mm.
- 2. The composition of claim 1 wherein the surfactant is present in the composition in an amount of from about 1 to about 50% by weight, based on the weight of the composition.
- 3. The composition of claim 1 wherein the disintegrator component is present in the composition in an amount of from about 0.1 to about 25% by weight, based on the weight of the composition.
- 4. The composition of claim 1 wherein the defoamer granules further contain wax-like defoamer compounds.
- 5. The composition of claim 1 wherein the defoamer granules are present in the composition in an amount of from about 1 to about 25% by weight, based on the weight of the composition.
- 6. The composition of claim 1 wherein the silicones present in the defoamer granules are polydisiloxanes.
- 7. The composition of claim 1 wherein at least 90% by weight, based on the weight of the defoamer granules, of the defoamer granules have a mean diameter below 1.3 mm.
- 8. A process for making a solid-form detergent composition comprising:(a) providing a surfactant selected from the group consisting of an anionic surfactant, a nonionic surfactant, a cationic surfactant, an amphoteric surfactant, and mixtures thereof; (b) providing a disintegrator component; (c) providing defoamer granules containing intermediate product comprising support material, sprayed with an aqueous silicone emulsion and (d) compacting (a)-(c) to form a solid-form detergent composition, and wherein at least 85% by weight, based on the weight of the defoamer granules, of the defoamer granules have a mean diameter below 1.5 mm.
- 9. The process of claim 8 wherein the surfactant is present in the composition in an amount of from about 1 to about 50% by weight, based on the weight of the composition.
- 10. The process of claim wherein 8 the disintegrator component is present in the composition in an amount of from about 0.1 to about 25% by weight, based on the weight of the composition.
- 11. The process of claim 8 wherein the defoamer granules further contain wax-like defoamer compounds.
- 12. The process of claim 8 wherein the defoamer granules are present in the composition in an amount of from about 1 to about 25% by weight, based on the weight of the composition.
- 13. The process of claim 8 wherein the silicone present in the defoamer granules are polydisiloxanes.
- 14. The process of claim 8 wherein at least 90% by weight, based on the weight of the defoamer granules, of the defoamer granules have a mean diameter below 1.3 mm.
- 15. The process of claim 8 wherein (a)-(c) contain less than 20% by weight of particles having a particle size distribution outside a range of from about 0.02 to about 6 mm in diameter.
