Abstract: The invention relates to storage-stable bleach activator granules consisting essentially of a bleach activator and an acid-modified phyllosilicate, prepared by mixing a dry bleach activator with a dry, acid-modified phyllosilicate, compressing this mixture to give relatively large agglomerates and comminuting these agglomerates to the desired particle size.

Abstract: The use of comb polymers obtained by condensation of a) a polycarboxylic acid or a polyalcohol b) one or more optionally sulfo-substituted polyalcohols having 2 to 4 OH groups or polyglycols of the formula HO—(XO)a—H, in which X is C2H4 and/or C3H7 and a is a number from 2 to 35, preferably from 2 to 5, c) one or more optionally sulfonated C2-C10-dicarboxylic acids and d) one or more compounds of the formulae NH2R, NHR2, ROH, R1COOH, HO(XO)b—H and HO(CH2CH2)dSO3K, in which R is C1-C22-alkyl or C6-C10-aryl, R1 is C1-C22-alkyl, C1-C22-sulfoalkyl, C6-C10-aryl or C6-C10-sulfoaryl, X is C2H4 and/or C3H7, b is a number from 3 to 40, preferably 3 to 20, d is a number from 1 to 10, preferably 1 to 4, and K is a cation, as soil release polymers.

Abstract: The invention relates to oligoesters obtained by polycondensation ofa) from 40 to 52 mol %, preferably from 45 to 50 mol %, of one or more dicarboxylic acids or esters thereof,b) from 10 to 40 mol %, preferably from 20 to 35 mol %, of ethylene glycol and/or propylene glycol,c) from 3 to 20 mol %, preferably from 10 to 15 mol %, of polyethylene glycol,d) from 0.5 to 10 mol %, preferably from 1 to 7.5 mol %, of a water-soluble addition product of from 5 to 80 mol of an alkylene oxide with 1 mol of C.sub.1 -C.sub.24 -alcohols, C.sub.6 -C.sub.18 -alkylphenols or C.sub.8 -C.sub.24 -alkylamines ande) from 0.4 to 10 mol %, preferably from 0.5 to 8 mol %, of one or more polyols having from 3 to 6 hydroxyl groups.These oligoesters are used as soil release polymers in detergents.

Abstract: Granular secondary alkanesulfonate, essentially comprising finely divided, solid sec. alkanesulfonate and an additive. This granular sec. alkanesulfonate is obtained by grinding and mixing coarse sec. alkanesulfonate with an additive. The resulting alkanesulfonate can be used in solid detergent and cleaning product compositions or directly for producing extrudates, pressed articles or compacts.
