PCT No. PCT/US96/11274 Sec. 371 Date Jul. 31, 1998 Sec. 102(e) Date Jul. 31, 1998 PCT Filed Jul. 3, 1996 PCT Pub. No. WO97/03154 PCT Pub. Date Jan. 30, 1997Disclosed are granular detergent components and processes for making these components. The processes comprise the steps of: i) forming the granular detergent component by drying an aqueous solution, the aqueous solution comprising at least 50% of a cationic surfactant, to form a powder; and then ii) densifying the powder in the presence of a detergent powder selected from the group consisting of aluminosilicate, carbonate, bicarbonate, silicate, sulphate, citrate, clay and mixtures thereof and an acid selected from the group consisting of citric, sulphuric, hydrochloric, polycarboxylic acids and mixtures thereof. This granular detergent component consists essentially of the cationic surfactant, the acid and the particulate builder and the granular detergent component has a reserve acidity of at least 1.0 g HCl/100 g. Also disclosed is a granular detergent component having a bulk density of at least about 500 g/l comprising at least 42% by weight of cationic surfactant, from 1% to 60% by weight of an acid, and optionally, up to 79% by weight of a detergent powder selected from the group consisting of citric, sulphuric, hydrochloric, polycarboxylic acids and mixtures thereof wherein the granular detergent component has a reserve acidity of at least 1.0 g HCl/100 g.
