Thixotropic aqueous liquid automatic dishwashing detergent composition |
(57) Thixotropic aqueous liquid automatic dishwashing detergent composition with improved
anti-filming and anti-spotting properties and method of using the detergent composition.
The detergent composition comprises alumina or titanium dioxide anti-filming agent,
polyacrylate polymer anti-spotting agent, inorganic builder salts, chlorine bleach,
bleach-stable detergent and a thixotropic thickener. The compositions provide reduced
filming and spotting on dishware, glassware, china and the like, particularly in hard
water, and remain stable against phase separation.
