Disclosed are granulates comprising a) one or more sulfonimines and/or one or more quaternary iminium salts, and b) one or more acids which are solid at 25 C.

These granulates contain highly-active bleach catalysts and are very storage stable. The granulates show no tendency towards staining during storage and experience no appreciable loss of active substance during storage.

The granulates of the invention can preferably be used in dishwasher agents or in washing agents and cleaning agents for low temperatures.
