摘要

This invention is directed to an aqueous, thixotropic dishwater detergent composition which is at room temperature a paste having a viscosity of at least about 30 Pa.s as measured at 20 DEG C. with a rotational viscometer at 5 spindle revolutions per minute, the dishwasher detergent composition comprising: (a) at least one compound with cleaning action or binding capacity for ions causing hardness selected from the group consisting of polyphosphates, aluminosilicates, silicates, hydroxides, and carbonates of sodium or potassium in an amount sufficient to effect cleaning or binding; (b) an active chlorine compound in an amount sufficient to provide active chlorine to the detergent composition; and (c) a thickener compatible with components (a) and (b) in an amount sufficient to give the desired viscosity.
