  • Foam regulating granulate
    Patent number: 7279453
    Abstract: A process of making particulate foam regulating granulates by spraying an aqueous foam regulating emulsion containing 16% to 70% by weight of a foam regulating active ingredient based on paraffin wax or silicone oil, 2% by weight to 15% by weight of a nonionic and/or anionic emulsifier, and not more than 80% by weight of water onto a solid carrier material, wherein the carrier material comprises an alkali metal carbonate and a Brønsted acid.

  • Particles comprising discrete fine-particulate surfactant particles
    Publication number: 20070117737
    Abstract: Particles, particularly washing, cleaning and/or care product particles, particularly washing, cleaning and/or care product particles, having a bulk weight greater than 450 g/l, particularly 500 g/l to 1200 g/l, characterized in that the particles have a compound mixture and fine-particulate surfactant particles, which have a particle diameter d50 ranging from 0.05 mm to 0.6 mm, a dust value of =0% to a maximum of 0.1%, at least 1% by weight to a maximum of 30% by weight of a surfactant, and at least 10% by weight to a maximum of 40% by weight of sodium carbonate. The indicated weights refer to the total weight of the fine-particulate surfactant particles, comprise, at least in part, discrete surfactant particles, and have a dust value ranging from =0% to =0.2%.
