A detergent granule and tablets which comprises an anionic surfactant system which comprises an anionic sulphate surfactant and/or an anionic sulphonate surfactant and other detergent active ingredients, the granule comprising at least a first and a second particulate component and optionally a binding agent, characterised in that the ratio of anionic sulphate surfactant to anionic sulphonate surfactant in the particulate components and in the optional binding agent is less than 1:4 or more than...

Pigment granules having an average particle size from 50 to 5000 .mu.m and a BET surface area .ltoreq.15 m.sup.2/g, including as essential constituents (A) from 60 to 90% by weight of at least one pigment and (B) from 10 to 40% by weight of at least one nonionic surface-active additive based on polyethers, are prepared and used for pigmenting macromolecular organic and inorganic materials.

Granule formulation of quetiapine and pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof are described, as are their preparation and their use in treating diseases of the central nervous system such as psychotic disease conditions including schizophrenia.

Use of internal gas-forming compound to adjust coating porosity to control copper release rates in algae-retardant roofing granule products.

The present invention relates to granules comprising a core matrix and one or more coatings, wherein the core matrix comprises: An active compound, a synthetic polymer, where the amount of polymer added is 0.1 to 10% by weight of the matrix and one or more antioxidants and/or reducing agents, where the amount of antioxidant and/or reducing agent is 0.2 to 5% by weight of the matrix.

Granule formulations of quetiapine and pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof are described, as are their preparation and their use in treating diseases of the central nervous system such as psychotic disease conditions including schizophrenia.

Granular detergent composition comprising (1) primary granules of one composition (e.g. spray-dried built detergent) and (2) effervescent granules, of a different composition, containing a binder, an acid, a carbonate reactive with the acid, and an "effect material."

An effervescent granule for the release and efficient dispersion of a herbal preparation in water. Also provided is a method of making the phytomedicated granule and a method of using the granule. The granule of the present invention is particularly efficient for the dispersion of a herbal preparation which includes an essential oil, although herbal preparations including an herbal extract can also be used.

Enzyme granules, particularly for detergent compositions, are prepared having a granule core of solid material carrying an enzyme and a solid coating of plasticized resin free of the enzyme. The plasticized resin can be dextrin or sodium lignosulphonate containing a plasticizer such as glucose, sucrose urea, glycerol or ethylene glycol. The granules are made by spraying the enzyme-containing core with a concentrated aqueous solution of the plasticized resin.

Pesticidal granules containing a volatile pesticide and a carrier containing a mineral which absorbs water only very slowly.
