A process for the manufacture of a built detergent product in shaped solid form

摘要

A process for the manufacture of articles, (e.g. detergent products) in shaped solid form, comprises compacting a particulate composition is characterised by use of mould parts 24 which have, over at least part of their surface area 32 which contacts the detergent product, a total modulus of elasticity within the range from 10<5> up to 8 x 10<7> Nm<-2>. The use of such mould parts reduces unwanted adhesion of the composition to the mould parts. The composition may contain 5 to 60% by weight non-soap detergent, 10 to 70 weight % detergency builder and 25 to 85% by weight of other materials. The desired modulus may be obtained by coating the part of surface of the mould parts with an elastomer.
