Abstract
Abstract Detergent laundry bars of improved foaming, better skin feel/mildness and fabric softening properties are provided. These laundry bars are based on alkyl polysaccharide nonionic surfactants with alkyl benzene sulfonate anionic surfactant, detergent builder and filler. Processing into laundry bars which additionally contains high melting higher fatty alcohol sulfate anionic cosurfactant is greatly facilitated by pre-blending the alkyl polysaccharide nonionic surfactant and higher fatty alcohol sulfate cosurfactant prior to feeding the mixture to the mixer and plodder.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 2
Claim 1
Independent Claim
161 words
A method for manufacturing a laundry bar containing anionic surfactant, detergent builder and detergent bodying agent wherein the anionic surfactant is present in an amount of from about 10 to 45 % by weight based on the final bar and comprises a normally solid higher fatty alcohol sulfate surfactant or a mixture of said normally solid higher fatty alcohol sulfate surfactant and alkylbenzene sulfonate anionic surfactant at a mixing weight ratio of alkylbenzene sulfonate:higher fatty alcohol sulfate of 30-85:1-60, said method comprising premixing the normally solid higher fatty alcohol sulfate with a fluid alkyl polyglucoside nonionic surfactant having from about 12 to 16 carbon atoms in the alkyl moiety at a temperature of no more than 100° F. to form a flowable mixture of the normally solid higher fatty alcohol sulfate and alkyl polyglucoside, and mixing said pre-mixture, detergent builder and detergent bodying agent, plodding the mixture, extruding the plodded mixture and cutting the extruded mixture into the final laundry bar.
