Abstract:
A process for making detergent tablet by tabletting a detergent composition comprising solid components which form a total particulate base detergent matrix and non-aqueous liquid components having viscosity of 1000 cp or less measured at ambient temperature, said process comprising the steps ofa) selecting a low porosity fraction equal to at least 5% by weight of the total particulate base detergent matrix such that the average porosity of said low porosity fraction is at least 5% less than the average porosity of the total particulate base detergent matrix;b) applying said non-aqueous liquid components of viscosity 1000 cp or less measured at ambient temperature to the low porosity fraction;c) admixing the product of step (b) with remaining components of the detergent composition and tabletting the detergent composition.
