Abstract (en)
[origin: EP0859048A2] A method for the preparation of wash- and cleaning-active surfactant granules with bulk weights greater than 600 g/l by granulating surfactant formulations, comprises: (1) solutions of (A) alkyl benzene sulphonate (ABS) and/or alkyl polyglycoside (APG) surfactants and (B) carrier materials chosen from polycarboxylates or inorganic salts (preferably amorphous silicates) in a non-surfactant solvent are simultaneously nebulised through the same nozzle ; and (2) the nebulised solutions are dried in standard dryers, preferably in fluidised bed dryers or a ring mixer dryer with a high rpm, during which the two liquids separate to leave the strongly hygroscopic and tacky active substance at least partially surrounded by the non-tacky carrier material. Also claimed are washing or cleaning agents with bulk weights greater than 600 g/l which contain either (i) more than 60 wt.% ABS, (ii) more than 60 (70) wt.% APG or (iii) at least 10 (20) wt.% end product of the above method.
