| 510531000 | Detergent builder composition | 6 |
| 20100204082 | Alkaline compositions and methods of producing same - Compositions, such as alkali builder compositions for the laundry industry, are provided and include water, an alkali metal hydroxide component, a chelating component and a hydroxyethyliminodiacetic acid (HEIDA) component. Methods for producing such compositions are also disclosed. | 08-12-2010 |
| 510533000 | Polycarboxylic acid component, or salt thereof (e.g., nitrilotriacetic acid, polyacrylic acid, etc.) | 5 |
| 20080287340 | Water Softening Product - A water softening product having an enclosing wall and containing a composition in the form of a powder, said composition comprising a water-softening agent able to bind calcium ions, the wall being permeable to water and to components dissolved therein, wherein, after the product has been contacted with water in a ware washing machine, less than 20 wt % of the composition remains. | 11-20-2008 |
| 20090048144 | WATER SOFTENING PRODUCT - A water softening product having an enclosing wall and containing a composition comprising a water-softening agent able to bind calcium ions, the wall being permeable to water and to components dissolved therein, said product being surfactant-free. | 02-19-2009 |
| 20130017989 | Builder Composition - A builder composition includes a chelating component A), a builder component B), a polymeric component C), and optionally an alkali component D) and/or a phosphorous-containing component E). The chelating component A) includes a1) methylglycine-N-N-diacetic acid (MGDA) and/or an alkali salt thereof, and/or a2) N,N-bis(carboxymethyl)-L-glutamate (GLDA) and/or an alkali salt thereof, and/or a3) ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) and/or an alkali salt thereof. The builder component B) includes b1) a metal silicate, and/or b2) a metal carbonate, and/or b3) a metal citrate. The polymeric component C) includes c1) an acrylic-maleic copolymer, and/or c2) polyacrylic acid (PAA). | 01-17-2013 |
| 20140073554 | BUILDER GRANULES AND PROCESS FOR THEIR PREPARATION - A process for preparing builder granules suitable for use in a granular or tabletted detergent compositions, particularly for machine dishwash, involves forming a slurry of solid and aqueous MGDA Na3 spray dryer, under non-agglomerating conditions, to form spray dried particles comprising solid crystalline MGDA Na 3 dihydrate, compacting the spray dried particles into compacted aggregates and comminuting the compacted aggregates into granular particles to form builder granules having a particle size distribution suitable for use in a granular detergent composition. Prior to spray drying, the slurry is maintained at a slurry temperature of 20° or more for sufficient time for the resulting builder granules to remain free flowing after 48 hours storage at 20° C. and 65% relative humidity. The resulting granules, made by an efficient process, using conventional detergent manufacturing apparatus, exhibit excellent resistance to caking when damp and can be incorporated into granular detergent compositions or detergent tablets, such as machine dishwash compositions or tablets, without substantial degradation of flow or stickiness (for granular compositions) and without substantial reduction in friability or disintegration (for tabletted compositions). | 03-13-2014 |
