Description

The granular detergent composition that comprises low bulk density component
The present invention relates to the granular detergent component that apparent density is lower than 400g/l, it contains anion surfactant, zeolite and optional auxiliary packing.The invention still further relates to the granular laundry detergent composition, it contains the component of low bulk density, also contains high-density particulate component in addition, preferably contains percarbonate.
Use in the common process method of washing composition at the preparation granular laundry, use the spraying drying aqueous slurry to go to prepare the quite wide grain fraction of apparent density scope, apparent density depends on multiple factor, as is used for the components selection and the content of slurry, and the processing condition in the spray-drying tower.Yet spray-dired product itself does not have sufficiently high apparent density as current granulated detergent.
Found out that granular laundry is to improve the apparent density of finished product with the recent tendency of washing composition.This high apparent density is very convenient concerning the human consumer, and owing to for example reduced the packing needs, also has the benefit in the environmental protection.This density can reach by each detergent component that preparation and combination have high apparent density.
Spray-dired powder is a known technology with mixing of other grain fraction, hereinafter will quote some examples as proof.
The EPA289312 that announced on November 2nd, 1988 discloses the spray-dired method of aqueous slurry of a kind of carbonate containing and crystal growth modifier.Optional aftertreatment comprises with the nonionogenic tenside spraying and with other component that comprises SYNTHETIC OPTICAL WHITNER, bleach activator, enzyme etc. and mixing.Described component requires to have the organism of high level to exist, especially anion surfactant (in this application, the tensio-active agent weight content at least 5%).
