Abstract: Bull's-eye tablets in which both the shaped body per se and the lands surrounding the bull's-eye are mechanically stable and even lend themselves to production in modern high-throughput tablet presses and in which the core placed in the larger shaped body is joined to the tablet in a stable manner and does not separate from the tablet matrix during production, packaging, transportation and handling can be obtained if the contour line of the core falls from the edge zone to the lowest point and climbs back to the edge zone.

Abstract: Free-flowing, storage-stable homogeneous granules for protecting silver in machine dishwashing are obtained through a granular free-flowing component comprising an organic solid (I) from the group of alkylaminotriazoles and a constituent (II) selected from the group of alkali metal sulfates, the ratio of solid (I) to solid (II) being from 1:100 to 2:1, preferably from 1:70 to 3:2 and more preferably from 1:50 to 2:3 and the component having a particle size of 0.01 to 2 millimeters, preferably 0.05 to 1.8 millimeters and more preferably 0.1 to 1.6 millimeters.

Abstract: A storable, substantially water-free flowable surfactant mixture containing 40% by weight to 70% by weight of a nonionic surfactant of the formula R.sup.1 --(OC.sub.2 H.sub.4).sub.n --OH wherein R.sup.1 is an alkyl or alkenyl group containing 10 to 20 carbon atoms and an average degree of ethoxylation n of from 1 to 8; 20% by weight to 50% by weight of a nonionic surfactant, liquid at room temperature, of the formula: R.sup.2 --(OC.sub.2 H.sub.4).sub.r --(OC.sub.3 H.sub.6).sub.p --OH wherein R.sup.2 is an alkyl or alkenyl group containing 10 to 20 carbon atoms, an average degree of ethoxylation r of from 2 to 8 and an average degree of propoxylation p of from 1 to 6; and 1% by weight to 10% by weight of a C.sub.10 to C.sub.22 carboxylic acid and/or alkali metal salts thereof. The flowable surfactant mixture provides a base for forming a pseudo-plastic detergent formulation.

Abstract: A process for inhibiting the corrosion of silver in a dishwashing detergent solution by adding to the solution an inorganic redox-active substance.

Abstract: A process for the continuous production of a granular detergent composition comprising:(a) pregranulating at least 40% by weight of a mixture of solid and liquid detergent components, based on the total weight of the solid and liquid cleaning components, in a first low-speed mixer/granulator having mixing tools contained therein, to form a pregranulated detergent mixture; and(b) granulating the pregranulated detergent mixture in a second high-speed mixer/granulator to form a final granular detergent composition.
