An object of the present disclosure is to provide a
solid composition that does not require PPE for handling. [Solution]
Solid alkali metal benzyl
oxide compositions that provide flowable solids, i.e., flowable powders and flowable granules, as well as
solid compositions containing the
alkali metal benzyl
oxide compositions in combination with additional components are disclosed. Methods of making the
solid compositions and methods of using the solid compositions are also provided. The solid compositions are particularly useful for making solid cleaning compositions, including
degreasing compositions, that are advantageously PPE-free, offering improved safety over liquid formulations.
