  • Granular detergent composition for clothing
    Patent number: 6214787
    Abstract: The granular detergent composition for clothes washing including a surfactant, a metal ion capturing agent, a crystalline alkali metal silicate, and an acidic ingredient, wherein the granular detergent composition includes at least two different granules: a first granule containing the crystalline alkali metal silicate, and a second granule, which is an acidic granule, containing the acidic ingredient. In the granular detergent composition, the crystalline alkali metal silicate and the acidic ingredient are being present in different granules, and the granular detergent composition shows alkaline property in distilled water at 25° C. and has a bulk density of 650 g/L or more. Since each of an acidic ingredient and a crystalline alkali metal silicate is included in a different granule, the initial rise in the pH at initial washing can be adjusted, so that a further improved detergency against the sebum dirt stains is exhibited.
