Abstract: The present invention relates to an improved detergent composition for use in the protection of non-metallic inorganic materials such as glassware in automatic ware washing machines.

Abstract: The present invention provides a method of manufacturing an automatic dishwashing detergent product, said product being provided as a discrete dosage unit and comprising a continuous, non-aqueous gel phase, comprising manufacturing said gel phase by a method comprising free radical polymerisation of monomer(s) in a non-aqueous reaction mixture to form a polymeric builder; wherein said reaction mixture comprises: at least one non-ionic surfactant which is an optionally end-capped alcohol alkoxylate; and one or more monomers comprising acrylic acid and optionally one or more further ?,?-ethylenically unsaturated acids, wherein no more than 0.1 wt % of the total amount of the monomer(s) are crosslinking monomer(s).

Abstract: A method of making a detergent composition including the following steps in the recited order: providing an aqueous composition comprising a citrate salt; lowering the pH by adding a first, un-neutralized or partially neutralized, polyacrylic acid having a weight average molecular weight in the range of 1000 to 6000 to form a second mixture; increasing the pH by adding alkali metal carbonate and/or alkali metal bicarbonate to form a third mixture; and adding a second polyacrylic acid having a weight average molecular weight in the range of 1000 to 6000 to form a fourth mixture; wherein the detergent composition is preferably an automatic dishwashing detergent composition or a laundry detergent composition.

Abstract: The invention relates to dyed particles of a bleach material that comprise a coating. The invention also relates to the use of the dyed particles in detergent compositions.

Abstract: The present invention provides a transparent or translucent, self-standing, automatic dishwashing gel, comprising a water-soluble C14-C22 fatty acid salt, at least 50 wt % liquid non-ionic surfactant, less than 15 wt % water, and optionally a polar organic solvent.
