AUTOMATIC DETERGENT POWDER MANUFACTURING (NOT CAKE)
[CODE NO. 3089]  

  Synthetic detergents occupy a vital place in the present age particularly  when the modern society is constantly looking for quick, effective and economic cleaning agents. Synthetic detergents emerged as a regular industry after second world war only. The development of this industry is closely  linked  with Petro-chemical industry which forms the basic for its raw materials.

         Detergents when dissolved in water, acquire better cleaning properties and hence facilitates easy removal of dirt & dust and grease etc.

Apart from their use in clothes washing, detergents also have applications in the following industries.

1.   In industry, in laundry and dry cleaning.
2.   In textile processing, grain milling, metal plating and foods canning.
3.   In dairy foods and beverages processing and in restaurants.
4.   In plant maintenance and industrial house-keeping.

         The principal types of synthetic detergents are an ionic, non-ionic and employtics. Sodium dodecyle benzene sulphonate is an example of the ionic type while nylon phenol, nylone oxide obtained from ethylene oxide is the non-ionic  type. The amploytic detergents like the alkyl amino propionates behave  as cations in acidic solutions and like anions in alkaline solution.

     Among the numerous detergent powders are available today in the market e.g. Hipoline, T.Series, Areal, Rin, Ghari, Surf, Sunlight, Nirma, Wheel detergent powder is most popular.
     
         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 tones 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.
