COATING CLAY AGGLOMERATES WITH FINELY DIVIDED PARTICULATE MATERIAL

摘要

The present invention relates to granular detergent components or compositions having a bulk density of at least 600 g/l which comprise: (i) a granular component which comprises smectite clay; (ii) a finely divided particulate material wherein the finely divided particulate material is present at a level of from 0.5 % to 15 % by weight of the detergent component or composition and that the finely divided particulate material comprises sodium aluminosilicate and hydrophobic silica wherein the ratio of the sodium aluminosilicate to hydrophobic silica in component (ii) is from 100:1 to 5:1. A process for making suitable granular detergent components and compositions is also described.
