Detergent composition
First Claim
1. A granular detergent composition having a phosphorus content of less than 5% comprising:
- (a) from about 5% to about 50% by weight of a water-insoluble aluminosilicate cation exchange material, and(b) from about 0.1% to about 20% by weight of a polycarboxylate polymer comprising on a monomer weight basis(i) from about 5% to about 70% of a C3 -C10 monoolefinic monocarboxylic acid,(ii) from about 5% to about 70% of a C4 -C6 monoolefinic dicarboxylic acid, and(iii) from about 1% to about 80% of nonionic spacer which is an ester selected from C1 -C6 alkyl and hydroxyalkyl esters of C3 -C10 monoolefinic monocarboxylic acids, C4 -C6 monoolefinic dicarboxylic acids and C2 -C6 monoolefinic alcohols, or an alcohol selected from C2 -C6 monoolefinic alcohols.

Abstract
A granular detergent having a phosphorus content of less than 5% comprising:
(a) about 5% to about 50% by weight of a water-insoluble aluminosilicate ion-exchange material and
(b) about 0.1% to about 20% of a polycarboxylate polymer comprising:
(i) about 5% to 70% of a C3 -C10 monoolefinic monocarboxylic acid,
(ii) about 5% to 70% of a C4 -C6 monoolefinic dicarboxylic acid, and
(iii) about 1% to 80% of a nonionic spacer selected from esters of (i) and (ii), C2-6 monoolefinic alcohols, and esters of C2-6 monoolefinic alcohols.
The compositions display excellent bleach stability, fabric care and detergency performance at low or zero phosphate levels.
