Detergent composition providing rinse cycle suds control containing a soap, a quaternary ammonium salt and a silicone

Claim 2

A granular detergent composition providing reduced sudsing during rinsing following a washing operation, said composition comprising: (a) at least one surfactant; (b) at least one detergency builder; and (c) a pluraity of rinse cycle suds control prills comprising: (i) fatty acid soap; (ii) at least one quaternary ammonium salt; and (iii) at least one silicone fluid suds suppressor; wherein said prills comprise from about 0.1% to about 14% by weight said silicone fluid, wherein said prills comprise from about 5% to about 55% by weight said soap, wherein the mole ratio of said soap to said quaternary ammonium salt in said prills is from about 0.1:1to about 4:1, and wherein said composition comprises from about 1% to about 20% by weight of said prills.

Claim 3

The granular detergent composition of claim 1 wherein said composition comprises from about 5% to about 50% by weight said surfactant and from about 5% to about 94% by weight said builder.

Claim 4

The granular detergent composition of claim 2 wherein said prills comprise from about 2% to about 8% by weight said silicone fluid and from about 15% to about 30% by weight said soap, and wherein the mole ratio of said soap to said quaternary ammonium salt in said prills is from about 1:1 to about 2:1.

Claim 5

The granular detergent composition in claim 1 wherein said prills comprise from about 2% to about 8% by weight said silicone fluid and from about 15% to about 30% by weight said soap, and wherein the mole ratio of said soap to said quaternary ammonium salt in said prills is from about 1:1 to about 2:1.

Claim 6

A granular detergent composition providing reduced sudsing during rinsing following a washing operation, said composition comprising: (a) at least one anionic surfactant; (b) a detergency builder selected from the group consisting of: (i) water soluble detergency builders; (ii) aluminosilicate ion exchange materials; and (iii) mixtures thereof; and (c) a pluraity of rinse cycle suds controls prills comprising: (i) fatty acid soap selected from the group consisting of: ((a)) coconut soap; ((b)) tallow soap; and ((c)) mixtures thereof; (ii) trimethyltallowammonium chloride; and (iii) at least one polydimethylsiloxane silicone fluid suds suppressor; wherein said prills comprise from about 2% to about 8% by weight said polydimethylsiloxane and from about 15% to about 30% by weight said soap, wherein the mole ratio of said soap to said chloride in said prills is from about 1:1 to 2:1, and wherein said detergent composition comprises from about 5% to about 50% by weight said surfactant and from about 5% to about 94% by weight said builder and from about 1% to about 20% by weight said prills.

Claim 7

A granular detergent composition providing reduced sudsing during rinsing following a washing operation, said composition comprising: (a) at least one anionic surfactant; (b) a detergency builder selected from the group consisting of: (i) water soluble detergency builders; (ii) aluminosilicate ion exchange materials; and (iii) mixtures thereof; and (c) a pluraity of rinse cycle suds controls prills comprising: (i) fatty acid soap selected from the group consisting of: ((a)) coconut soap; ((b)) tallow soap; and ((c)) mixtures thereof; (ii) trimethyltallowammonium chloride; and (iii) at least one polydimethylsiloxane silicone fluid suds suppressor; wherein said prills comprise from about 2% to about 8% by weight said polydimethylsiloxane and from about 15% to about 30% by weight said soap, wherein the mole ratio of said soap to said chloride in said prills is from about 1:1 to 2:1, and wherein said detergent composition comprises from about 5% to about 50% by weight said surfactant and from about 5% to about 94% by weight said builder and from about 1% to about 20% by weight said prills.
