Making of soap and raw material used in making process

Blender process and agglomeration process are the two process used in making detergents. In blending process, all ingredients are mixed in boilers .In the agglomerations process, liquid ingredients are poured on the dry ingredients after mixing them together. The mixing produces hot viscous liquid. When this liquid comes out of blenders, it is exposed to air, the hot air blowers, and its own heat, to create powder that can be pulverizes easily for different packing.

The soaps contain hydrocarbon chain and carboxylic group, which are fatty acids. The carboxylic or fatty acids are attracted to water , while the hydrocarbon molecule is both repelled by the water and attracted to oil and grease in dirt . The carboxylic substance of the soap washes dirt from the clothes. The hydrocarbons used in the soap come from animals or plants. The hydrocarbons Detergent & Soap Manufacturing Process used in detergents are derived from crude oil. The sulfuric acid is added to produce fatty acids in the soap. The alkali is also added to create a surfactant molecule. This addition of the alkali is done to help proper cleaning in hard water .There are other ingredients that are used in the making process of detergents.

The most important is the use of builders. These are the chemicals, which serve many purposes. These are used to increase the efficiency of the detergent to work in hard water. The hard water has several minerals. When these minerals react with the detergent, they produce insoluble powder like substance.  The use of builders, prevent insoluble like powder to form during cleaning process. The builders also emulsify the oil and grease into tiny molecules which are easily washed away. The presence of sodium silicate ensure that detergent has not corrosive property to damage the washing machines .Some builders keep chemical balance of the water to make it conducive to effective cleaning .  Antiredepostion agents are used to prevent deposition of soil on the washed clothes.

Fluorescent agents keep clothes white and shining by converting invisible ultraviolent light into visible blue light. Oxygen bleaching products are used to avoid staining. Sodium sulfate is used to prevent caking and help to standardize packing density. Then perfumes and enzymes are mixed to make the detergents and soaps. The enzymes break down certain Detergent Powder Manufacturing Machine stains for easy removal from clothes during washing. Perfumes overcome the dirt smell or smell from any chemicals used in the detergent or soaps.
