Abstract
The present invention relates to bar compositions comprising a mixture of higher melting point and lower molecular weight (100 to about 1400) lower melting point polyalkylene glycol(s) in which use of the lower molecular weight polyalkylene glycol or glycols allows enhanced rates of extrusion from the plodder.
Claims18
Detergent composition comprising:
- (a) 10 to 60% by weight of a synthetic, non-soap detergent, or mixture of synthetic non-soap detergents;
- (b) greater than 10% to 60% by weight of a water-soluble structurant which is neither soap nor a non-soap detergent and which has a melting point in the range 40.degree. to 100.degree. C.;
- (c) 0.1 to 10% by weight polyalkylene glycol or mixture of polyalkylene glycols wherein said glycol or wherein each of the glycols in said mixture has a melting point below 40.degree. C. is a polyethylene glycol having MW of 100 to 1,000 or a mixture of polyethylene glycols wherein each of the polyethylene glycols in said mixture has a MW of from 100 to below 1,000;
- (d) 5% to 50% by wt. of a water insoluble structurant which is neither soap nor non-soap detergent and has a melting point in the range 40.degree. to 100.degree. C.;
- (e) 1 to 14% by wt. water;
- (f) 0 to 25% water soluble starch;
- and
- (g) 0 to 10% salt of a C.sub.8 to C.sub.22 monocarboxylic acid.
