Laundry detergents are formulated from six groups of substances :
- surfactants
- builders
- .bleaching agents
- enzymes
- fillers
- other minor additive
SURFACTANTS
- soaps (anionic)
- alkylbenzenesulphonate (anionic)
- ethoxylated fatty alcohols (non-ionic)
BUILDERS
- Sodium tripolyphosphate (STPP)
- Zeolite A (a sodium aluminum silicate)
- In most modern P-free detergents, zeolite is used with PCAs (polycarboxylates)
- NTA (nitrilo triacetic acid)
- EDTA
- sodium carbonate
BLEACHING AGENTS
- sodium perborate an activator is added : e.g. tetra acetylethylene diamine (TAED).
ENZYMES
- proteases
- lipases
- amylases.
- Catalyse the degradation of
some stains and thus facilitate their elimination.
OTHER COMPONENTS
· enzyme stabilising agents ;
· fluorescent whitening agents
· anti-redeposition agents : cellulose derivatives (such as carboxymethylcellulose)
· anti foams such as silicone
· perfumes
· corrosion inhibitors, such as sodium silicate.
FILLERS
- Filler products include sodium sulphate in powders, water and solvents in liquids.

Is Lauric acid put in detergents?
Lauric acid is used to make detergents
What are the parts of a match stick?
A match contain a stick (from wood or paper) and a head with the active components.
What is the role of alkaline pH in detergents?
Detergents wih a high pH are recommended for greases cleaning.
Does soap and detergents have the same effects in all water?
No; detergents have different recipes, but sometimes these are similar.
What are detergent bottles made out of?
Solid detergents are in cardboard box, liquid detergents are in PE or PET bottles.
What are disadvantages of household detergents?
Many are active pollutants,
How active components are different from passive components?
active components can have gain, passive can't.
What are the component of electronics?
Electronic have two type of components Active components and Passive components. Active components are those which increase the power of a signal and must be supplied with the signal and a source of power. Passive components do not increase the power of a signal. Active components are Bipolar transistor, Operational amplifier, field effect transistors etc and Passive components are semiconductor, resistor, capacitor, inductor etc
What r industrial uses of sulphonation?
sulphonic acid is the active material for almost all synthetic detergents.
Difference between active and passive components?
ACTIVE COMPONENTS The components which produce the energy in the form of current or voltage are called as active components. Example:transistors etc,. PASSIVE COMPONENTS The components which stores the energy in the form of current or voltage are called as passive components. example:inductors,resistors,capacitors etc,.

What is the active component of glue?
There are thousands of glues with many active components. -Name your glue-
Active and passive components?
Electronic components are divided into active and passive categories. Passive components are those that do not exhibit gain or directional characteristics. They include resistors, capacitors and inductors. Active components are those that show a gain, such as a voltage or current gain, or have a directional characteristic such as a diode conducting only in one direction. Transistors, diodes, triacs and SCRs are examples. There is something of a debate about certain other components. Transformers, motors and relays are sometimes called active and sometimes not. It is perhaps more important that their function is understood than how they are classified.
How long is active components in the available pool?
3 years
Active components of mosquito killers?
The active components of a mosquito killer depends on the type. Mosquito coils for instance contain pyrethrum, while sprays contain a pyrethrum and Permethrin combination.
What is the role of sodium perborate in detergents?
This substance serves as a bleaching agent in this application, since it is a source of active oxygen. Please see the link.
What are active elements in circuit?
A; Any components that provide gain/loss are active device resistors, capacitors are passive
Why capacitor is an active component?
A: If you are reading this out of a book that book is wrong resistors capacitors coils are passive components NOT active
