  • Patent number: 6486118
    Abstract: Detergent tablet of compacted particulate composition containing; (a) particles which contain organic surfactant together with detergency builder, and (b) water-insoluble but water-swellable particles of plant material which contain both cellulose and lignin, obtainable by fragmentation of plant material without separation of its fibres into a liquid dispersion. Also provided is process of making this tablet which comprises mixing water-insoluble, water-swellable disintegration-promoting material as defined above with other particulate ingredients so as to form a particulate detergent composition and compacting a quantity of the particulate composition in a mold so that it forms a tablet or a region of a tablet. The detergent tablets exhibit good disintegration together with adequate mechanical strength.
