Known charged carrier beads of the type in question are generally characterized in that the

useful material introduced is predominantly or completely deposited on the outside of the

carrier beads, i.e. on the surface thereof. Sufficiently coherent porous granules of fine-particle insoluble solids can thus be particularly suitable carrier bead materials for hitherto

known methods. Through granulation of the insoluble fine particles, they provide a large-surface carrier material which is accessible to coating with a liquid composition and/or with

a composition applied in free-flowing form.

Hitherto, it was not regarded as possible to use useful materials of the type in question

solid at room temperature as carrier beads for absorbing other useful materials for detergents

and cleaning products of which a substantial percentage, for example well above one third

of the carrier beads as a whole or even the predominant part of the carrier beads, is formed

by surface-active useful materials. The basis here is the knowledge of the poor solubility and

tendencytowards gelation of highly concentrated surfactantmixtures solid atroom

temperature onintroduction intoaqueous phases. The teaching accordingto the invention

builds on thesurprising observationthat dry mixtures of useful materials of the type

according to theinvention obtained by drying in superheated steam differ distinctly in

their behavior fromthe same mixtures of useful materials 5 conventionally dried with hot

gases.
