A detergent composition having a plasma-induced, water-soluble coating for
controlling solubility, chemical stability and physical properties is
disclosed. A process for making such a detergent composition is also
disclosed which involves subjecting a detergent material to a plasma glow
zone in which an organic hydrophilic monomer is introduced such that it
ultimately deposits on the detergent material to form a water-soluble
coating. The detergent compositions are particulate or non-particulate and
can be used for laundry, dishwashing or other similar application.
