A process for making a detergent tablet by forming a disintegrating agent
by compacting cellulose or a cellulose derivative, forming disintegrating
agent particles comprising the disintegrating agent, dry mixing a
washing- or cleaning-active substance and an amount of the disintegrating
agent particles effective to rapidly dissolve or disperse the composition
in water, and shaping the resulting mixture into a tablet. The
disintegrating agent particles have a particle size distribution of less
than 10% by weight smaller than about 0.2 mm particle size and no more
than 1% by weight of dust-fine particles.
