| abstract |
A detergent mixture in the form of essentially non-sticking transparent, shaped particles, contains a matrix comprising 15 to 50% by weight of soap components, 10 to 65% by weight of non-soapy surfactant components and 10 to 45% by weight of a solvent component and also a water component in an amount from 1 to 35 parts by weight per 100 parts by weight of the matrix. The soap component must be synthesised from alkali metal, alkaline earth metal, ammonium or amine salts of fatty acids having 6 to 22 C and at most 50% by weight of the fatty acid may be unsaturated. The solvent component must consist of solvents having a boiling point of at least 100 DEG C, of these at least 10% by weight being water-soluble polyhydric alcohols or alkanolamines and at most 90% by weight water-insoluble solvents. The detergent mixture has a high washing power, and in the form of pellets is readily pourable and easily soluble. |
