Solid detergent composition with multi-chambered container

摘要

A detergent package containing a solid cast detergent for use in ware and hard surface washing applications. The cast detergent contains alkaline chemicals and a phosphate-based sequestering agent. The cast detergent preferably contains less than about 25% by weight of an alkali metal hydroxide and at least about 30% by weight of fused alkali metal orthosilicate as the alkaline chemical. The cast detergent is solid at room temperature and is surrounded on all but one surface by a multi-chambered receiver. The receiver is separated into a plurality of compartments in order to separate the alkaline chemicals and the phosphate-based sequestering agent and other chemically incompatible detergent compounds.
