The Detergent Industry manufactures a wide range of cleaning products

include laundry powders, dishwashing liquids, industrial cleaners, and other household and institutional detergents. Key chemicals used in this sector are essential for improving cleaning performance, controlling water hardness, enhancing solubility, and stabilizing formulation properties.
Materials such as soda ash, sodium bicarbonate, SLES, and anhydrous sodium sulfate serve as critical ingredients, contributing to washing efficiency, foaming capability, pH adjustment, and cost-effective production.

RELATED PRODUCTS

Sodium Lauryl Ether Sulfate (SLES70%)

Anionic surfactants have strong cleaning properties, good foaming ability, and mildness, and are easily soluble in water.

Home laundry scene

Home laundry scene

Used for cleaning daily stains (sweat stains, oil stains, dust) on cotton, linen, synthetic fiber and other clothing products such as laundry detergent and laundry powder.

Tableware washing scene

Tableware washing scene

Widely used in dishwashing detergents and tableware cleaners for effectively removing food residues such as grease and starch stains from surfaces.

Industrial cleaning scene

Industrial cleaning scene

Used for cleaning heavy oil stains on the surface of industrial equipment such as food processing machinery and textile equipment.

PRODUCT FUNCTION AND ASSOCIATED VALUE

As a core cleaning ingredient, it can enhance the removal ability of stubborn stains by emulsifying oil stains, dispersing stains, and combining with enzyme preparations; Moderate foaming ability, suitable for machine washing and hand washing, and less irritating than traditional surfactants, suitable for washing close fitting clothing.

Among mid to high end laundry detergents, SLES can enhance the selling point of the product’s “low irritation+efficient stain removal”, meeting the household’s demand for gentle cleaning.

Product Function

Quickly penetrate the oil layer, decompose oil stains into water-soluble particles, easy to rinse without residue; The low residue characteristics comply with food contact safety standards.

Related Value

Improve the oil removal efficiency of dishwashing detergent, reduce the number of washes, suitable for bulk cleaning scenarios in home kitchens and catering industries.

Product function

It can peel off heavy oil stains at high concentrations, and when combined with alkaline additives (such as soda ash), it can enhance the cleaning power. It also has good resistance to hard water and is suitable for industrial complex water quality

Soda Ash Light

Strong alkalinity, can adjust pH value, soften water quality, and participate in chemical reactions

Washing powder production scenario

Specific Scenarios

As a key alkaline additive in laundry detergents, soda ash light is combined with surfactants like SLES to synergistically enhance cleaning efficiency and stain removal.

Product Function

Softens hard water and enhances the activity of surfactants; Simultaneously adjust the pH value of the washing solution to alkaline to enhance its emulsifying ability against oil stains.

Related Value

It delivers significant value by enabling cost-effective detergent formulations, synergistically boosting SLES efficiency for superior cleaning, and meeting mass-market demands for affordable performance.

Fruit and vegetable cleaning agent

Specific Scenarios

Used as a fruit and vegetable cleaning agent to effectively remove surface pesticide residues, particularly organophosphorus pesticides.

Product Function

Sodium bicarbonate leverages its mild alkalinity to hydrolyze and break down persistent pesticide molecules on produce. This mechanism is both highly effective and gentle, ensuring a non-irritating clean that leaves no harmful residues, making it perfectly safe and ideal for the pretreatment of fruits and vegetables in household kitchens.

Sodium Bicarbonate

Weakly alkaline, mild and non corrosive, easily decomposed into carbon dioxide when heated

Anhydrous sodium sulfate

Neutral salt, easily soluble in water, can adjust the osmotic pressure of the solution.

Laundry powder filling scene

Specific Scenario

It is applied in mid to low-end powdered laundry detergents primarily to modify and standardize the product’s density and enhance its powder flowability.

Product Function

Acting as an inert filler in powdered laundry detergents, anhydrous sodium sulfate is crucial for creating uniform particle size and consistency. This uniformity ensures the product is easy to package, transport, and pour for end-users, all while remaining completely compatible with and non-disruptive to the core cleaning power of the active surfactants.
