Abstract

L'invention concerne des silicates alcalins amorphes granulaires à masse volumique apparente d'au moins 700 g/l, à pouvoir d'absorption élevé, qui demeurent suffisamment coulants, même après imprégnation de constituants de détergents ou de nettoyants qui sont liquides à coulants à la température de traitement. Ces silicates alcalins s'obtiennent grâce à un procédé fondé sur le séchage par pulvérisation et comprend le compactage de billes séchées par pulvérisation. La bille séchée par pulvérisation est moulue et granulée simultanément ou à la suite, sous apport d'un adjuvant de granulation liquide, les masses volumiques apparentes étant ajustées pour être comprises entre au moins 700 g/l et jusqu'à 1 000 g/l et plus. Les granulats de ce type se prêtent particulièrement bien à être utilisés dans des détergents ou des nettoyants compacts, à forte teneur en tensioactifs et à masse volumique apparente supérieure à 700 g/l, car ils évitent le risque de gélification lorsque l'agent se dissout dans l'eau ou le réduise du moins sensiblement.
