Abstract (en)

The present invention relates to spray-dried particles suitable for incorporation into detergent compositions comprising from 10 to 54 wt % (anhydrous basis) zeolite, from 8 to 75 wt % polycarboxylate polymer, and optional additional ingredients to 100 % by weight. The particles have been found to reduce caking of detergent product whilst providing improved cleaning compared with the addition of the polycarboxylate polymer as a separate granule. Preferred particles also include soap. The invention also includes detergent compositions comprising such particles. The particles may be incorporated into a finished detergent composition as part of an agglomerate or extrudate.
