Abstract
Detergent laundry bars of acceptable mildness, foaming properties and processing characteristics are described which are based on built higher fatty alcohol ethoxylate sulfate detergent and which contain bentonite, which acts as a bodying agent for the laundry bars, facilitating production thereof, and contributes fabric softening properties to laundry washed with such laundry bar. When the bentonite is omitted or is replaced by water insoluble filler, such as calcium carbonate powder, bars made are not of acceptable hardness and such compositions are not satisfactorily processable in conventional soapmaking apparatuses. Also described are processes for converting aqueous solutions of higher fatty alcohol ethoxylate sulfate detergent to solid form by treatment with bentonite, and for making detergent laundry bars from such solidified detergent.
