The present invention relates to a washing agent tablet having a printable phase made of a compressed particulate premixture, wherein the particulate premixture has a particle size distribution in which at least 60 wt. % of the particles have a particle size of between 100 m and 900 m, and at least 90% of the surface of the printable phase outside the printed region has a degree of whiteness which is defined by L*.sub.max, a*.sub.max, and b*.sub.max.

A detergent or cleaning agent, in particular a cleaning agent for hard surfaces, having at least two phases which are different from each other. The detergent or cleaning agent includes at least one first phase and at least one second phase that is different, with the at least one first phase being solid and the at least one second phase having at least one polymer and at least one polyvalent alcohol.

A cleaning agent portion including a water-soluble wrapping and at least one composition for cleaning and/or caring for an automatic dishwasher, the composition containing at least i) an acid and/or ii) a buffer system consisting of at least one acid and at least one base, wherein the composition includes at least two parts, at least one part A being a compressed part and at least one part B being a non-compressed part or a further compressed part, an optionally compressed part B being compressed to a lesser extent than part A. The invention also relates to a method for producing the cleaning agent portions. The invention further relates to a method for cleaning and/or caring for an automatic dishwasher using the cleaning agent portion. The invention also relates to the use of and/or a method using the cleaning agent portion for cleaning and/or caring for an automatic dishwasher.

This present disclosure relates to novel detergent compositions comprising bacterial mannanase enzymes. The detergent compositions comprising bacterial mannanases are useful in laundry and cleaning applications wherein degradation or modification of mannan is desired. The present disclosure also relates to the use of said detergent compositions in laundry and cleaning applications as well as a method for degrading mannan.

A single dose pack includes a container including a water-soluble film and a single dose laundry detergent composition encapsulated within the container. The single dose laundry detergent composition includes about 0.01 to about 0.5 weight percent of zinc ricinoleate based on a total weight of the composition, about 0.07 to about 2.7 weight percent of sodium iminodisuccinate based on a total weight of the composition, and about 2.7 to about 35 weight percent of a non-aqueous solvent based on a total weight of the composition. The composition also includes water and about 35 to about 75 weight percent of a surfactant based on a total weight of the composition. The composition has a water activity of from about 0.45 to about 0.8 measured at about 25 C. and has a turbidity of less than about 25 NTU measured after ageing at about 75 F. for about 24 hours.

A detergent composition comprising an enzyme and a bleaching compound and comprising two or more distinct regions, wherein the enzyme is located in a first distinct region and the bleaching compound is located in a second distinct region and further wherein a builder comprising an amino acid based compound and/or succinate based compound is located in the first distinct region. The compositions exhibit improved stability of the enzyme.

A press device for manufacturing compacted tablets from at least one mixture in powder form, including at least one compaction assembly including a lower punch and an upper punch each having an active compaction surface and placed on either side of a die. The lower punch has a longitudinal recess open on the side of the die, inside of which is mounted a central rod which is translatably mobile relative to the lower punch. The central rod is coupled to the lower punch by a resilient link provided so as to hold, in an inoperative position, the central rod in a maximum deployed position in which the central rod protrudes relative to the active surface of the lower punch. The invention also relates to a specific compaction method and to a multi-layer compacted tablet with a recess.
