Different Types of Detergent Powder and Their Usage
There are different types of detergent powder based on the formula and their usage in different circumstances
Detergent powders contain several enzymes due to their usage and the particular place they are being used
It is so important for the customer to maintain the quality of the cloth and the textile during the washing progress and to be worn out as least as possible
Herewith we discuss different detergent powders and compare the different types and their formulas to clarify some points for better understanding
Washing Powder vs Washing Liquid Detergent
Washing detergents are produced in both powder and liquid forms, in some points we can also mention soap washing powders, there is a difference for every single type of the production which varies depending on the usage and some other elements involved
It is also noteworthy that the volume of the production for detergent powder and detergent liquid is approximately at the same level
Based on the recent research on the detergent usage market around the globe, most western countries prefer washing liquid detergent while as we move toward the eastern countries such as China, India, African countries, and Latin America countries we find that washing powders are mostly used in these areas
Comparing these two forms of detergents, there are some advantages and disadvantages for both types of these detergents, it is known that washing detergent powders have more power in cleaning clothes due to the enzymes and ingredients, but washing liquid detergents have slightly lesser cleaning power than washing powders
But when it comes to softness, we can assume that detergent liquid sits on a higher rank than the detergent powder for the formula and type of the enzymes used in this product
Detergent Washing Powder Formula
Detergent washing powder consists of different elements such as surfactants, different types of enzymes, whiteners, establishers, and polymers
Generally, the formula and ingredients of the detergents are different, all these elements work together to eliminate the dirt and clean the clothes
Surfactants play the main role in cleaning
They are effective against fats, and different types of dirtiness, several types of surfactants are used in a detergent
Enzymes are some sort of proteins that function greatly in eliminating the dirt, every enzyme is set to remove a particular type of dirt so there are numerous enzymes used in a detergent
Whiteners are mostly used to brighten the white clothes and eliminate the colored dirt on the clothes
Detergents include different types of polymers; each polymer has a special duty which usually comes into action after surfactants function to complete the washing process
There are also other substances used in detergents to create a pleasurable perfume for clothes, buffers control the acids in the water, and suppressors function for waste of the detergent in the water as well
Detergent Powder for Washing Machine
Generally, there are machine detergent powders for different purposes, herewith we elaborate on three general usages of machine powders
Detergent powder for color clothes The chemical compound and the power of cleaning of this type of detergent are designed in a way to maintain the quality of the color of the textile and to have the maximum power of cleaning at the same time
This is necessary to wash the color clothes with the right detergent build specially for these types of clothes as the other detergents may have a more cleaning power which leads to rotting the textile or even wasting the color of the cloth
Detergent powder for white clothes It is important to use this type of detergent for white clothes, losing the brightness of the cloth, and getting unclear are the causes of using inappropriate sort of detergent for white clothes
These types of detergents are known with a ‘white’ label on the packaging
Detergent powder for kids and infants These types of detergents are free of enzymes and scents and are specially designed for the sensitive skin of kids and infants
These detergents have a good power of cleaning while protecting the skin of infants and will not cause sensitivity, these products are known with a label ‘for infants’ on the packaging
Washing Liquid Detergent
One of the advantages of liquid detergents is that there are several detergents liquid for particular clothes
Washing liquid for black color clothes As we can comprehend the purpose of this detergent from the name, washing liquid for black clothes prevents the color loss of the cloth and maintains the color for a longer sequence of time
Anti-Electricity is another specification for this type of detergent, which prevents the absorption of dust into the cloth, Besides the maintenance of the softness of the textile and the cloth
Washing liquid to color clothes Washing liquid for color clothes maintains the color of the clothes to be washed, keeping the color of the clothes safe and sound and not transferring to one another during the washing process is one of the advantages of this type of washing liquid
Chemical Compounds in Washing Liquid Detergent
As mentioned earlier, surfactants are an important element in the structure of washing liquid detergent as well
This substance simply helps the removal of the dust in the textile
Nonionic surfactants are without charge and help the removal of the fat
Builder builders are required for surfactants better function; they pave the way for surfactants by removing the hard ions
Polymer acrylic, trisodium citrate, and sodium borohydride are mostly used in the structure of builders
Antiscalant This substance is used to remove the organic dirt on clothes
Anthocyanin, tannin, hemic acids, chlorophyll, and carotenoid are important compounds for antiscalants
Other ingredients According to the usage and formulation, some other additional ingredients such as stabilizer of the foam, different perfumes which include esters, terpene alcohol, and other ingredients that are added to the detergent for better function and quality
One of the big advantages of liquid washing detergent is that, unlike powder detergent, they’re pre-dissolved and we do not see the small particles like detergent powders have after-wash on the clothes
Above all these two kinds of detergent have advantages and disadvantages and the choice is yours depending on your needs and expectations to make
