DETERGENT CAKE AND POWDER

[EIRI/EDPR/1485](J.C.269, 407)

INTRODUCTION

Synthetic detergents have developed in the beginning of 20th Century and started making in-roads into the area earlier served by washing compounds i.e. soaps made traditionally from oils/fats and caustic soda. Since soaps have comparatively lesser washing characteristics in hard water than synthetic detergents, synthetic washing compounds have been able to occupy a significant market which was enjoyed by washing soaps earlier. The term detergent originated from the latin word detergine (i.e. wipe off), is now-a-days applied to all synthetic washing compounds. Synthetic detergent is not only used as household cleaning material but also have industrial applications in textiles, pesticide industry as carriers, etc

The term detergent is used for synthetic detergents derived from petroleum products. Synthetic detergents have expanded rapidly all over the world. Their rapid development has been stimulated by the enormous and fast growth of the international petro-chemical industry. The transition from conventional hard soaps to synthetic detergent cake has been rapid and irreversible response by consumers. so that to-day, synthetic detergent accounts in most developed and under developing countries in the world. to improve detergency of the detergent cakes, powders, certain other components were added to it known as builders, synergers, fillers and brightners etc.

The synthetic detergent industry is one of the largest chemical process industries. The most recent estimates indicate an annual U.S production of synthetic detergents of about 3 million tons with an approximate annual value of 2 billion. The industry differs from many other chemical process industries, however, in that the bulk of its production is sold directly to individuals for house hold consumption primarily as branded products, rather than to industrial or institutional users.

Hand washing Detergent powder occupy a vital place in the present age particularly when the modern society is constantly looking for quick effective and economic cleaning agent.

Synthetic detergent emerged as a regular industry and is closely linked with petrochemicals industry which provides the basis for its raw materials.

Among the numerous detergent powder are available in the markets are Ariel, Surf Excel, Nirma, Wheel Ghari are the popular Brand available in the market.
