Abstract (en)

Dispensing of certain spray-dried detergent powders in automatic washing machines is substantially improved by the incorporation of 0.1-6.0% by weight of a hydrophobic additive having a contact angle to water of at least 75 DEG and a melting point of 30-100 DEG C. The additive may be included in the slurry from which the powder is prepared, or sprayed, preferably dispersed in nonionic surfactant, onto the powder. The preferred additive is paraffin wax.
