- Synthetic detergents
have similar molecular structures and properties as soap. Although the
cleansing action is similar, the detergents do not react as readily with
hard water ions of calcium and magnesium.
- Product the formulation
of which is specially devised to promote the development of detergency.
A detergent is a formulation comprising essential constituents (surface
active agents) and subsidiary constituents (builders, boosters, fillers
and auxiliaries).
- The first synthetic
detergents which fall into our definition of the term seem to have been
developed by the Germans in the First World War period to allow fats to
be utilized for other purposes.
- Synthetic detergents
dissolve or tend to dissolve in water or other solvents. To enable them
to do this, they require distinct chemical characteristics. Hydrophilic
(water loving) groupings in their molecular structure, and hydrophobic
(water hating) groupings, help the detergent in it’s “detergency”
action.
- The basic component of
a synthetic detergent is a 'surface active agent' ('surfactant') which
binds to grease and dirt and keeps it suspended in water. Other
constituents include fillers to improve the free-flowing properties of
powder detergents, foam stabilisers, optical brighteners, silicates,
bleaches and fragrances. Phosphates or zeolites are added to control the
alkalinity and soften the water. Foam stabilisers, optical brighteners
and fragrances are not essential for detergent effectiveness. The
formulation of the detergent depends on the application.
- The Processing
Technology includes Detergent Slurry formulation, Slurry Preparation,
Detergent Spray Drying, Pneumatic Conveying Perfuming and
Packing.
- Synthetic detergents
had developed in the beginning of 20th century and started making
inroads 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.
- Synthetic detergents,
being a mass consumption item have shown a dramatic growth since its
inception in 1957. Presently, detergents are available to the consumers
in the form of powders and cakes/bars. Bulk of the production of these
items is done in the small scale sector.
- Machinery includes
Sulphonator: Stainless steel verticle and cylindrical vessel fitted
within agitator with MS jacket and complete with motor, Cap 1 m3 ,
Chilling plant , Settling tank- MS vertical dished bottom, Lead line
with agitator and motor Cap 3.5m3 , LAB feed tank: vertical cylindrical
tank, MS Cap 1.0 m3 , Oleum/Acid slurry feed tank vertical cylindrical
Tank Cap 2.5m3 , LAB main storage tank horizontal cylindrical Tank Cap
12m3 , Oleum/acid storage tank ms-horizontal Cylindrical tank cap 5m3 ,
Pumps with motor m., Misc. equipment including valvers pipelines,
exhaust, weighing machines etc. and laboratory Equipment, Finished
product stocks , Furniture/fixtures ,
Installation/electrification.
- The major players in
the Indian detergent market were HLL, P&G, Nirma and Henkel (through
its joint venture with SPIC, a leading petrochemical company based in
the south Indian city of Chennai).
- Modern technology has
led to the creation of synthetic detergents that have gradually replaced
soaps in the laundry. The first detergents were used chiefly for hand
dishwashing and fine fabric laundering. This was followed by the
development of allpurpose laundry detergents introduced in the US in
1946.
- Today, the detergent
market is a highly competitive one where a myriad brands vie with each
other to get the customers attention. Each brand claims to clean whiter,
boasting of technologically dubious terms such as fighting granules,
power pearls, etc.
- The annual consumption
of detergents in India is in the magnitude of hundreds of thousands of
tones. The formal sector, with its increasing ability to influence
consumers through advertisements, is rapidly expanding its market share.
