  • the aluminosilicate ion exchange materials used herein are prepared by a process which results in the formation of materials which are particularly suitable for use as detergency builders and water softeners. Specifically, the aluminosilicates herein have both a higher calcium ion exchange capacity and a higher exchange rate than similar materials previously suggested as detergency builders.
