Abstract (en)
[origin: WO9411487A1] A particulate detergent composition having a bulk density of at least 600 g/l comprises a surfactant system comprising a nonionic surfactant, at least one detergency builder and optionally other detergent ingredients, wherein the nonionic surfactant comprises a condensation product of ethylene oxide with an aliphatic alcohol having an average alkyl chain length of less than C12 and an average degree of ethoxylation not exceeding 8, and the surfactant system is free of ethoxylated nonionic surfactants having an average chain length of C12 or above and an average degree of ethoxylation below 7. The use of short-chain nonionic surfactant improves delivery of the composition to the wash in an automatic washing machine, and also gives detergency benefits.
