Abstract

L'invention concerne des détergents ou des nettoyants en portions, qui contiennent au moins une préparation détergente et une ou plusieurs enveloppes en matériau(x) polymère(s) qui entourent au moins une préparation détergente. L'enveloppe ou les enveloppes est/sont fermée(s) et contien(nen)t au moins un gaz exempt d'eau ne réagissant pas avec la(les) préparation(s) détergente(s) ou au moins une substance libérant un gaz ne réagissant pas, en cas de réaction avec de l'eau ou de l'humidité, avec la(les) préparation(s) détergente(s), de manière que la pression globale régnant à l'intérieur de l'enveloppe /des enveloppes fermée(s) soit supérieure à la pression extérieure. L'invention concerne également un procédé correspondant visant à protéger au moins une préparation détergente dans des détergents ou de nettoyants en portions de la désagrégation par suite d'un contact avec de l'eau ou de l'humidité.
