General
- Laundry
detergents, or more specifically the detergent surfactant, have the
unique ability to remove both water-soluble and nonwater-soluble
soils.
- In general, all
detergents are created with the single mission of cleaning the
object – clothes, dishes and various other surfaces - it is produced
for. Cationic surfactants are essentially used in fabric softening
detergents
Manufacturing Process
- Agglomeration
processes provide an efficient and economical means for producing
granular detergents that have uniform particle size and composition.
- Agglomeration is
a physical/chemical process for combining various dry ingredients
into single granular particles through the binding power of liquid
silicate.
- Soap and
detergent manufacturing consists of a broad range of processing and
packaging operations. The size and complexity of these operations
vary from small plants employing a few people to those with several
hundred workers.
Applications
- Biodetergents
help keep cooling systems clean or help clean up fouled systems by
dispersing the extracellular material created by bacteria, algae,
and fungus. They help biocides to penetrate and kill the biological
growth.
- Automatic
dishwashing detergent (ADD) enzymes act in a comparable manner to
help remove food from the surface of your dishes. Enzymes have long
been used in liquid and powder detergents as well as stain removers,
pre-spotters, automatic dishwashing detergents and industrial and
institutional (I & I) cleaning products.
Technology
- Synthetic
detergent powder manufacturing technology requires to ensure a
uniform beady non-dusting free flowing & non caking products with
good foaming and spread. The complete detergent powder processing
plant essentially begins from slurry formulation and finishes with
the packing of the perfumed spray dried detergent powder.
- The ability of
Improved technology is an advantage because it allows production of
finished laundry detergents using low cost equipment.
Market
- Experts predict
that China's cosmetics and detergent consumption will keep growing,
and by 2010, total sale volume of cosmetics will reach RMB80
million, averaging a 12.9 percent growth per year.
- The Indian market
for detergents is among the largest in the world.
- Industry majors
have been kept busy evolving responses to the challenges of growth
inthe detergent industry.
