IMPROVED DETERGENT BAR AND PROCESS FOR MANUFACTURE

摘要

A process for the manufacture of aerated solid shaped detergent compositions comprising the steps of: i) preparation of a melt of the detergent composition to be cast; ii) addition of fatty alcohol to the melt either prior to or after the air or gas has been incorporated into the melt; iii) mixing the melt in a high shear mixer; iv) pouring the melt into a mould; v) cooling the mould; vi) demoulding the solidified-shaped article. Preferably, the detergent composition comprises 20% to 60% by weight of detergent active, 0.1% to 10% by weight fatty alcohol and 30% to 60% by weight water and/or polyhydric alcohol.
