Abstract

A detergent or cleaning agent comprising a dispersion of solid particles in a dispersion agent wherein the dispersion is comprised of, based on the total weight of the dispersion (a) from 10 to 65 wt % dispersing agent and (b) from 30 to 90 wt % of dispersed materials, wherein the density is greater than 1.040 g/cm 3 . This composition can be easily formed into tablets.

Claims (16)

1 . A detergent or cleaning agent comprising a dispersion of solid particles in a dispersion agent, wherein the dispersion is comprised of, based on the total weight of the dispersion, (a) from 10 to 65 wt % dispersing agent and (b) from 30 to 90 wt % of dispersed materials, wherein the dispersion has a density greater than 1.040 g/cm 3 .

2 . The detergent or cleaning agent of claim 1 , wherein it comprises the dispersion agent in amounts of from 12 to 62 wt. %.

3 . The detergent or cleaning agent of claim 1 , wherein the dispersing agent is a nonionic polymer selected from the group consisting of polyethylene glycol, polypropylene glycol and combinations thereof.

4 . The detergent or cleaning agent of claim 4 , wherein the dispersing agent is polyethylene glycol which is present in the amount of from 10 to 90 wt % based on the total weight of all dispersion agents.

5 . The detergent or cleaning agent of claim 1 , wherein the dispersing agent is an end capped polyoxyalkylated nonionic surfactant which is present in the amount of from 1 to 60 wt % based on the total weight of all dispersion agents.

6 . The detergent or cleaning agent of claim 1 , wherein at least one dispersion agent has an average relative molecular weight between 200 and 36000.

7 . The detergent or cleaning agent of claim 1 , wherein at least one dispersion agent has a melting point above 25° C.

8 . The detergent or cleaning agent of claim 1 , wherein at least one dispersion agent has a melting point below 15° C.

9 . The detergent or cleaning agent of claim 1 , wherein the density of the dispersion is greater than 1.1 g/cm 3 .

10 . The detergent or cleaning agent of claim 1 , wherein the dispersed materials further comprise at least 20 wt % based on the total weight of the dispersed materials of an additive selected from the group consisting of builders, bleaching agents, bleach activators, active detergent or cleaning polymers, glass corrosion protection agents, silver protection agents, enzymes and combinations thereof.

11 . The detergent or cleaning agent of claim 1 , wherein the dispersion has a free water content below 10 wt. % based the total weight of the dispersion.

12 . A unit packaged detergent or cleaning agent, said unit packaged detergent or cleaning agent comprising a detergent or cleaning agent composition of claim 1 wrapped in a film made of a water-soluble or water-dispersible material.

13 . The unit packaged detergent or cleaning agent of claim 12 , wherein the water-soluble or water-dispersible film was produced at least partially by deep drawing or injection molding or casting.

14 . The unit packaged detergent or cleaning agent of claim 12 , wherein the water-soluble the wall thickness of the water-soluble or water-dispersible film is less than 200 μm.

15 . A detergent or cleaning agent comprising a dispersion of solid particles in a dispersion agent, wherein the dispersion is comprised of, based on the total weight of the dispersion (a) from 10 to 65 wt % dispersion agent and (b) from 30 to 90 wt % dispersed materials, wherein the dispersed materials are comprised of from 0.1 to 50 wt % of an anionic and/or cationic and/or amphoteric polymer based on the total weight of the dispersed materials, the cast body comprising a receiving chamber or cavity which is at least partially filled with a cleaning agent component that comprises (c) from 5 to 95 wt % surfactants and (d) 5 to 95 wt % meltable substance(s) having a melting point above 30° C. and a water solubility of less than 20 g/l at 20° C. and (e) optionally additional ingredients of detergents or cleaning agents and wherein the detergent or cleaning agent is cast in the form of a shaped body.

16 . A dishwashing detergent comprising a detergent or cleaning agent composition of claim 1.
