Abstract: This invention relates to a process for preparing bleach activator granulates comprising from about 90 to 98 percent by weight of bleach activator and from about 10 to 2 percent by weight of granulating adjuvant, based on the weight of the anhydrous components, which comprises the steps of:(a) mixing powdered bleach activator which has a mean particle size of from about 0.01 to 0.8 mm with from about 50 to 100 percent by weight of the total granulating adjuvant to be used, which granulating adjuvant comprises a water-soluble cellulose ether, starch, or starch ether in the form of a free-flowing powder having a mean particle size of from about 0.01 to 0.8 mm;(b) moistening the mixture from step (a) with water or an aqueous solution containing the remainder of the granulating adjuvant in a solution of from about 0.

Abstract: Pourable washing agent compositions comprising essentially a premix powder component and optionally a second powder component obtained by hot drying of an aqueous composition containing conventional heat-insensitive components, consisting essentially of(1) from 30% to 100% by weight of a premix consisting essentially of(A) finely-dispersed, water-insoluble silicate compounds having a calcium-binding power of at least 50 mg CaO/gm of anhydrous active substance and having the formula, combined water not shown, of(M.sub.2/n O).sub.x .multidot.
