Powdered Detergents

Edited By Michael Showell Copyright 1998

    Facilitating the development of important processes that yield increased detersive performance from smaller dosages, this work examines up-to-date and emerging process and chemical technologies used in the formulation of compact powdered detergents. It provides a survey of technological developments fundamental to powder compaction, such as the replacement of traditional phosphate builders and the introduction of insoluble zeolites as particle process aids.

    Powdered detergents; compact powdered detergent process technologies; builders - the backbone of powdered; polymeric dispersents in powdered laundry detergents; enzymes; bleach systems for compact detergent granules; soil release agents in powdered detergents; surfactant requirements for compact powder detergents; detergency mechanisms; overview of regulation and environmental issues affecting laundry detergents.
