Give a disadvantage of using a synthetic detergent?

Is ford motorcraft synthetic blend a detergent oil?
Yes
What are the disadventage of using a synthetic detergent?
1. they are non-biodegradable.
Is all synthetic oil non detergent?
NO, in fact just the opposite is true. Most synthetics are detergent blends. You can however buy a non detergent synthetics.
What is the difference between laundry detergent and synthetic detergent?
That's a question of semantics. With very few exceptions, all laundry detergent is "synthetic". Detergent is generally made up of a few kinds of ingredients: an oil basedsurfactant (cleaner), specially built protein enzymes (enhanced stain removers ), preservatives, coloring agents and perfume. Some detergents don't bother with the stain removers and just rely on the hot water and alkaline action (like with baking soda) to clean the laundry. In any case, if you are looking for an organic (read: NOT synthetic) laundry detergent, you are looking for something like Seventh Generation. It is made from palm oil based surfactants, is not dyed and has what constitutes a "natural" fragrance in this country.
A disadvantage of using a synthetic detergent?
Major Disadvantage of synthetic detergents are that they are non bio degradable and thus they cause water pollution.
What chemicals are in GAIN laundry detergent?

Why do detergents and soap differ?
A detergent is a substance that cleans soiled surfaces. Soap is a type of detergent. But detergent usually refers only to synthetic detergents, which have a different chemical makeup than soap.
What are the disadvantage of using a synthetic detergent?
The main component of a detergent is the surfactants or the surface active agents. These surfactants work primarily to reduce the surface tension between 2 phases. When a detergent is added to water, it forms a micelle (or a surfactant cloud) around the dirt particles. A synthetic detergent is made up of chemical compounds like fatty acid salts (aliphatic) or aromatics like linear alkyl benzene. The main disadvantage lies with the use of these aromatics. aromatics are not very easily soluble in water and we need a relatively higher temperature to solubilize this detergent in water. Another disadvantage of using synthetic detergents in that they are not easily bio-degradable. This has many environmental implications.
