  • enzyme stabilizers For example, 0.5 to 1% by weight sodium formate can be used. It is also possible to use proteases which are stabilized with soluble calcium salts and a calcium content of preferably about 1.2% by weight, based on the enzyme.
  • boron compounds for example boric acid, boron oxide, borax and other alkali metal borates such as the salts of orthoboric acid (H 3 BO 3 ), metaboric acid (HBO 2 ) and pyrobic acid (tetraboric acid H 2 B 4 O 7 ), is particularly advantageous.
  • Graying inhibitors have the task of removing the dirt detached from the fiber keep suspended in the fleet and thus prevent graying.
  • water-soluble colloids mostly of an organic nature, for example the water soluble salts of polymeric carboxylic acids, glue, gelatin, salts of Ether carboxylic acids or ether sulfonic acids of starch or cellulose or salts of acidic sulfuric acid esters of cellulose or starch.
  • water soluble, polyamides containing acidic groups are suitable for this purpose.
  • Polyvinyl pyrrolidone is useful.
  • cellulose ethers such as Carboxymethyl cellulose (Na salt), methyl cellulose, hydroxyalkyl cellulose and Mixed ethers, such as methylhydroxyethylcellulose, methylhydroxypropylcellulose, Methyl carboxymethyl cellulose and mixtures thereof, and polyvinyl pyrrolidone for example in amounts of 0.1 to 5 wt .-%, based on the agent used.
  • the agents can, as optical brighteners, derivatives of diaminostilbenedisulfonic acid or their alkali metal salts. Suitable are e.g. Salts of 4,4'-bis (2-anilino-4-morpholino-1,3,5-triazinyl-6-amino) stilbene-2,2'-disulfonic acid or compounds of the same structure, which instead of the morpholino group Diethanolamino group, a methylamino group, an anilino group or a 2-methoxyethylamino group carry. Brighteners of the type of substituted diphenylstyryl, e.g.
  • the invention further relates to a method for producing a washing, Detergent or cleaning agent, in which one after the Powdered mixture produced according to the method of the invention Alkali metal silicates and non-ionic surfactants with the remaining ingredients of the detergent, auxiliary washing agent or cleaning agent. Examples of such remaining ingredients were listed above.
  • the washing manufactured by mixing the components mentioned Detergents or cleaning agents can be used in the prior art known measures such as granulation, compacting or Extrusion can be brought into a low-dust form and / or compressed. To this way, compact detergents with bulk weights can be obtained for example in the range from 500 to 1000 g / l.
  • the invention relates to solid washing, auxiliary washing or cleaning agents, which is a powdery prepared by the inventive method Contain a mixture of alkali metal silicates and nonionic surfactants.
  • auxiliary washing or Detergent is in the amount range between about 5 and about 50 wt .-%. The remainder to 100 wt .-% form those listed above by way of example remaining components of washing, washing aids or cleaning agents.
  • the surfactant absorption capacity was analogous to the standard DIN ISO 787 General test methods for pigments and fillers, determination of the oil number "in the version from 1983, wherein the coating oil was replaced by nonionic surfactant (C 12-18 fatty alcohol x 7 mol ethylene oxide).
  • the determination is made as follows: The sample is placed on a glass plate (in the case of the glass balls, a watch glass is used) and weighed out. 4 to 5 drops of nonionic surfactant (C 12-18 fatty alcohol x 7 mol ethylene oxide) are slowly added from a Pasteur pipette. After the addition, the surfactant is worked into the sample with a spatula. The addition of the surfactant continues accordingly until the agglomeration of surfactant and sample forms. Then a drop of surfactant is added and rubbed in thoroughly with a spatula until a soft paste suddenly forms. The paste should stick to the plate without tearing or crumbling. The amount of surfactant absorbed is determined by weighing again.
  • nonionic surfactant C 12-18 fatty alcohol x 7 mol ethylene oxide
