    Abstract: Prepn. of a low-melting foam suppressor in fine particulate form comprises spraying the foam suppressor melt onto fine particles of inert, inorganic support material 0.2-4 pts. wt. of foam suppressor melt and one pt. wt. of carrier material having a mean particle dia. less than 100 micron are used; the carrier particles are at a higher temp. than the m.pt. of the foam suppressor and spraying is carried out until the mixt. agglomerates to particles of dia. 100-1500 micron; there after 0.02-0.3 pts. fine particles having a softening point above the temp. of the mixt. are added and the mixt. is allowed to cool to below the melting temp. of the suppressor. Used as a foam suppressor for household washing powders where the basic anionic constituents tend to excessive foam prodn. Method enables a low-melting foam suppressor to be produced in a powdered form which has a long shelf life. The later addn. of the quantity of powder, which may be the same material as the original carrier material, results in stabilisation of the agglomerated material.
