DETERGENT COMPONENT OR COMPOSITION WITH PROTECTIVE COATING

摘要

The present invention relates the application of certain coatings to particulate detergent components or compositions to improve free-flow properties, improve dispensing and avoid dust formation. This is achieved by a two-step coating process, wherein the first coating step comprises the proce ss of mixing the detergent composition or component with a finely divided particulate material which is preferably aluminosilicate, and the second coating step comprises the process of applying a coating agent. Suitable coating agents comprise from 5 % to 95 % by weight of cellulosic polymer; fr om 5 % to 95 %, by weight of sugar; and optionally, from 0 % to 30 % by weight of plasticizer.
