LAUNDRY DETERGENT PARTICLES

摘要

A coated detergent particle having perpendicular dimensions x, y and z, wherein x is from 1 to 2mm, y is from 2 to 8mm, and z is from 2 to 8mm, wherein the particle comprises: (i) from 40 to 90 wt% surfactant selected from: anionic surfactant; and, non-ionic surfactant; (ii) from 20 to 40 wt% water soluble inorganic salts, the water soluble inorganic salts a mixture of sodium carbonate and sodium silicate; and, (iii) from 0 to 3 wt% of a perfume, wherein the inorganic salts are present on the detergent particle as a coating and the surfactant is present as a core, and sodium carbonate and sodium silicate comprise from 70 to 100 wt% of the coating and the ratio of sodium carbonate: sodium silicate is in the range from 4:1 to 2:3.
