Detergent / Washing Up Liquids

Quality Risks of Detergents / Washing Up Liquids

In the production process of detergents/washing up liquids, problems such as system instability, difficulty in controlling viscosity, stratification and turbidity, and performance degradation at low temperatures often occur. These problems typically lead to:

  • Unstable viscosity, requiring frequent adjustments during production.
  • Production is prone to stratification or turbidity, resulting in poor appearance.
  • Thinning at low temperatures leads to poor stability.
  • Insufficient wall adhesion affects usability.

These problems impact production efficiency and product quality. Celotech’s cellulose ethers can effectively address these issues and provide targeted formulation solutions.

Celotech Detergent / Washing Up Liquid Solution

A high-performance detergent/washing-up liquid product often requires the coordinated action of multiple functional additives:

1. Hydroxypropyl methyl cellulose (HPMC): Easily soluble in cold water, with good light transmittance, it provides good thickening even in small quantities; its viscosity is stable at high temperatures, and it can be used synergistically with other additives.

2. Hydroxyethyl cellulose (HEC): Provides film-forming properties, water retention, and system stability, improving storage stability and user feel.

3. Carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC): Prevents redeposition of dirt and improves detergency.

Celotech Detergent / Washing Up Liquids Advantages

When a formulation system is well-balanced, the following phenomena are typically observed:

  • The product is clear and transparent with a high-quality appearance.
  • The amount of foam is moderate, providing a comfortable user experience.
  • The cleaning ability is stable and effective at removing stains.
  • The product viscosity is moderate, making it easy to control and use.

In practice, this usually means: More stable product quality, increased downstream customer satisfaction, and a lower complaint rate.

Application Cases and Adjustment Suggestions

Adjust for each situation; no fixed formula. Optimize formulation based on raw material properties and usage conditions.

1. High Temperature Conditions: Thickeners are prone to failure, and product viscosity decreases.

  • Adjustment Measures: Use high-temperature-stable cellulose ethers (HPMC) to ensure thickening performance and viscosity stability.

2. Low Humidity Environments: Product moisture evaporates rapidly, resulting in insufficient foam.

  • Adjustment Measures: Improve water retention (use HEC or CMC) to maintain the stability of active ingredients and preserve foam performance.

3. High-Humidity Environments: Excessive foam or a viscous texture reduces usability.

  • Adjustment Suggestion: Adjust the concentration and viscosity of cellulose ethers and optimize the foam modifier amount. Do not simply increase the dosage.
