Detergent Raw Material

Loose detergent powder raw material consists of various components that are mixed to create a powder designed for cleaning purposes. These raw materials contribute to the detergent's effectiveness in removing dirt, stains, and grime from surfaces and fabrics. The formulation of loose detergent powder can vary, but typical raw materials include:

Key Components:

1. Surfactants:

   • Anionic Surfactants: Such as linear alkylbenzene sulfonates (LAS) or sodium lauryl sulfate (SLS), which are effective at removing dirt and creating foam.
   • Nonionic Surfactants: Such as alcohol ethoxylates, which help to enhance cleaning performance and reduce foam.

2. Builders:

   • Phosphates: Often used in traditional formulations to soften water and enhance surfactant performance (though less common due to environmental concerns).
   • Zeolites: Used as eco-friendly alternatives to phosphates for water softening.
   • Citrates and Carbonates: For water softening and pH adjustment.

3. Enzymes:

   • Proteases, Amylases, and Lipases: To break down protein, starch, and fat-based stains, respectively.

4. Bleaching Agents:

   • Sodium Perborate or Sodium Percarbonate: Release hydrogen peroxide to aid in stain removal and whitening.

5. Optical Brighteners:

   • Fluorescent Agents: To enhance the appearance of whiteness and brightness in fabrics.

6. Fillers:

   • Sodium Sulfate or Calcium Carbonate: Used to bulk up the powder and help in even distribution during application.

7. Fragrances:

   • Synthetic or Natural Fragrances: Added to provide a pleasant scent to the detergent.

8. Colorants:

   • Dyes or Pigments: Used to impart color to the powder, making it visually appealing and easier to recognize.

9. Stabilizers and Anti-Caking Agents:

   • Silica or Sodium Silicate: To prevent clumping and ensure the powder remains free-flowing.
