Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0965565A1] Tablets contg. builder substances comprise 2-100 wt.% amorphous, partly crystalline and/or crystalline layered silicates of formula Na2SixO2x+1.yH2O (I), where x=1.9-4 and y=0-20. The water content of the tablets is no more than the maximum theoretical water-binding capacity of the tablet ingredients. Also claimed are: (1) a process for producing tablets as above where the premixes intended for pressing are prepd. by mixing the individual ingredients, at least some of which are pregranulated; (2) a wash process in which at least two tablets as above, with the same or different compsn., are used in a single wash cycle, pref. a base detergent tablet and a water-softening and/or bleaching tablet; and (3) a wash process in which at least one tablet as above is used in a single wash cycle, the tablet(s) being dispensed onto the wash in the washing machine right at the start of the wash cycle. Pref. detergent tablets comprise 5-60 (esp. 10-40)wt.% (I), 0.5-98 wt.% zeolite and/or phosphate (pref. less than 30 wt.% phosphate), up to 40 wt.% anionic surfactants and/or soaps, and up to 20 wt.% nonionic surfactants. Water-softening tablets comprise 20-80 (esp. 30-60)wt.% (I), 0-80 (esp. 10-60)wt.% zeolite and/or phosphate, 0-50 (esp. 2-20) wt.% polycarboxylate, 0-15 (esp. 1-10)wt.% polymeric polycarboxylate, and 0-30 (esp. 2-15)wt.% surfactants and salts. Bleaching tablets comprise 20-80 (esp. 30-60) wt.% (I) and 20-50 (esp. 25-45) wt.% peroxy bleach. (I) may be used together with amorphous silicates of water-glass type.
