Ingredients 1/7
Tap Water
 Dissolve some substances
 Thermal conductor
 Energy conductor: drum rotation
 Wetting of textile and surface
 Allowing chemical reaction
 Helping suspension
 Evaporating easily
Water is an essential ingredient for cleaning process, with a major

inconvenient: contains soluble salts (Ca2+, Mg2+) which can become
insoluble and which fix stain on fibers.
 Scale formation on the equipment
 Incrustation in fibers
 Higher settling: electrolytes reduce ionic repulsion
August 2011
Ingredients 2/7
Surfactants/Tensides
 Anionic: CO2-, SO3-, S04-
 Cationic: NR1R2R3+
 Non ionic
 Amphoteric
The hydrophobic part is generally based on alkyl groups.
Choice of surfactants is related to different parameters

 Washing temperature
 Type of textile
 Type of builder used
 Environmental concern
 Product form
 Processing type for the production of detergent
August 2011
Ingredients 3/7
Antiscalants
 Complexing agents: forming soluble complex with Ca and/or Mg
 Ion exchangers: changing Ca/Mg to more soluble Na salts
 Precipitants
1/ STPP
 Form Ca and Mg complex
 Alkalinity reserve: buffer capacity to maintain high pH
 Anti redeposition
 Anti incrustation
 Improvement of tensides efficiency
But STPP has two major inconvenients
 Environmental concern: water eutrophisation
 Price fluctuation and availability
August 2011
Ingredients 4/7
2/ Aminocarboxylates: NTA/EDTA
EDTA/NTA: very good complexing agents
EDTA/NTA: stable vs oxydizing agents
NTA: good biodegradabilty
EDTA: low biodegradability
3/ Hydrocarboxylates: citric/tartric acids
Good biodegradability
Low complexing power
Mainly used for dishwashing and acid cleaners
4/ Phosphonates: HEDP, DTPMP, EDTMP
Average biodegradability
Very good complexing agents
Tendancy: find highly biodegradabel agents with EDTA chelating power

August 2011
Ingredients 5/7
5/ Ion exchangers
Zeolites: not very soluble. Can only treat ions in water but can’t catch
ions on textile surface/equipment. Mainly work on Ca2+ . Do not provide
buffer effect. Need co-builders (polymers) for suspension.
Silicates: meta/disilicates: good Ca/Mg exchange, good alkaline
reserve, stabilizer for bleaching agents, good antiredeposition
properties. Nedd very high dosage in comparison with STPP.
6/ Precipitants
Carbonates: as Ca can form insoluble salts with active ingredients
(tensides), carbonate can be added in low quantity for very stressed
conditions to precipitate partially CaCO3. But this can be considered
only as a side raw material, not able to replace others
August 2011
Ingredients 6/7
Bleaching agents
Chlorine derivatives: very agressive
Perborate
Percarbonate
Peracid
They are used for their decolorizing effect
Enzymes
Proteases: blood, egg, milk, herb, keratin
Lipases: fat
Amylases: starch
They are used to brake stains in small parts to enhance its cleaning by
the active ingredients.

These product are mainly used in tablets and in powder made in

drum mixing.
August 2011
• Dispersants are generally used as a cobuilder. They

can’t be used alone without some previously
mentionned products.
• Effects are mainly:
– Crystal growth inhibition
– Dispersion of precipitates in cleaning bath
– Improvement of bleach stability in chlorinated formulations
– Avoid redeposition on fabrics and hard surface
• Copolymers advantages
– Better for low and non phosphate formulations
– Superior processing aid in the production of powder detergents
– Very high dispersants properties (CaCO3 and calcium binding
test)
August 2011
• Action
– Ionic charge repulsion
– Steric repulsion
• Dosage
– Low STPP formulation: 1 – 2%
– STPP formulation: 3 – 4%
• Special usage
For cotton fabric, Sodium carboxymethyl celluslose can be used
instead of acrylic acid based products: dosage 0.5 – 1%.
For polyesther, Cellulosic ethers can be used instead of acrylic
acid based products.
Tendancy: such products are mainly promoted due to
environmental concerns.
