Abstract: Stable, alkaline, granulated dishwashing agent composition containing active chlorine for use in mechanical dishwashers, having a content of builder salts, alkali metal silicates, alkali metal carbonates and, optionally, nonionic surface-active compounds and containing from 1% to 30% by weight of finely divided trichloroisocyanuric acid in the form of granulates or prills with a total surface area as small as possible and having a degree of purity of .gtoreq. 99% as determined by laser-Raman spectroscopy, and from 10% to 40% by weight of granulated alkali metal hydroxide with a total surface area as small as possible.

Abstract: A pulverulent, phosphate-free textile detergent consisting essentially of:(a) from 20% to 40% by weight of a water-insoluble, finely-divided, crystalline alkali metal aluminosilicate having a calcium binding power of 50 to 200 mg of CaO/gm on the anhydrous basis;(b) from 5% to 20% of a surface-active compound of the anionic, nonionic, amphoteric or zwitterionic types;(c) from 0.05% to 0.75% by weight of a water-soluble substituted alkane diphosphonate or triphosphonic acid or alkali metal salts thereof;(d) from 10% to 35% by weight of an inorganic per compound; and(e) from 0 to 50% by weight of other conventional ingredients for detergents of the type; wash alkalis, soil suspension agents, optical brighteners, enzymes, antimicrobial agents, textile softeners, coloring compounds, perfumes, sodium sulfate and water.

Abstract: A surface-active compound combination for use in textile washing agent compositions consisting essentially of(1) at least one tenside of the anionic sulfonate or sulfate type or non-ionic ethoxylated type, and(2) at least one hydroxyalkylamine having vicinal oxygen and nitrogen bridging atoms, ethoxylated/propoxylated derivatives thereof, acylated derivatives thereof, or ethoxylated/propoxylated acylated derivatives thereof, where the amount of component (1) to component (2) is in the weight ratio of 100:1 to 1:1. The surface-active compound composition is useful in preparation of low temperature detergents and low phosphate detergents.
