As you may know, some new dishwashing liquid detergents formulations have been spread and experts think that those were a real game changer.
This is a true fact that using these formulations can be a revolutionary thing that every manufacturer can do.
Since multipurpose cleaner can also be used as a dishwashing chemical, the formulations of liquid dishwash and multipurpose cleaner are quite similar to one another.
Formulation of Liquid Dish Wash requires the following ingredients: Linear Alkyl Benzene Sulphonic Acid (LABSA), Sodium Hydroxide (Caustic Soda), Cocoamido Propyl Betaine (CAPB), Coconut diethanol amide (CDEA), Sodium Lauryl Ether Sulphate (SLES), Sodium Lauryl Sulphate (SLS), Propylene Glycol, Glycerine, Color, Fragrance, and Water.
LAS, SLES, cocamidopropyl betaine, and maybe some cocamide DEA can be combined to create the ideal hand dishwashing liquid composition.
Continue reading to discover how to create various dishwashing detergents.
Some of the fundamental needs for manual dishwashing detergent are foam, viscosity, and grease-cutting capability.
If you extend the basic recipe a little bit, it could need high foam stability and a certain pH range.
Still not content? Consider improving performance in cold and hard water.
Still want more? Include rapid drying and rinsing.
Add mildness and moisturizing properties for those who are even more discriminating.
Another option is to provide advantages such being organically sourced, DfE-approved, and easily biodegradable.
Not to mention, some formulators include antibacterial and aromatherapy benefits.
Starting with the fundamentals—foam, viscosity, and grease cutting—develop let's a very cost-effective recipe with a raw material cost of 5–10 cents per 16 oz.
Therefore, the total cost of a 16 oz.
container of dishwashing detergent that is ready to be mailed to a client may be between 20 and 35 cents if you can purchase a bottle, cap, label, and labor for approximately 15 to 25 cents.
Simple is the formula.
It contains 95 percent water, 0.63% sodium hydroxide (50 percent solution), 2.4% DDBSA (Pilot's Calsoft LAS-99), 1.2% cocamide DEA (Pilot's Calamide C), 0.77% sodium chloride, and any necessary preservatives and colour.
The process of mixing is simple.
The components should be added in the order specified and continuously mixed until a clear, homogeneous mixture free of lumps and particles is achieved.
Use sodium hydroxide or DDBSA to get the pH to 8–9.
Start using inexpensive components to create an economical mix.
Cocamide DEA and DDBSA are two of the least expensive anionic surfactants in their respective classes.
Together, these two components provide the recipe the performance characteristics necessary for a hand dishwashing operation.
DDBSA is typically sold as 95% active substance or more.
Given the high transportation costs of today, it is undoubtedly advantageous.
Cocamide DEA is another very active substance that doesn't include any water or solvent.
DDBSA that has been neutralized is a great foamer with strong detergency and the ability to remove greasy dirt.
