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.

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.
What is active clamp?
An active clamp is a circuit used in power electronics to improve efficiency and reduce stress on components like transistors. It is designed to absorb voltage spikes, minimize switching losses, and protect components from damage by providing a controlled path for energy dissipation. Active clamps are commonly used in applications like DC-DC converters and power supplies.
Do detergents affect the plant growth in experiments?
Yes, detergents can affect plant growth in experiments. Detergents can disrupt the cell membranes of plants, leading to decreased growth and nutrient uptake. It is important to be cautious when using detergents in plant experiments to avoid negative effects on plant health.
Does soap and detergents have the same effects in all water?
No, soap and detergents do not have the same effects in all water. Soap can form scum in hard water due to a reaction with calcium and magnesium ions, while detergents are designed to perform better in hard water by preventing the formation of scum.
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 r industrial uses of sulphonation?
sulphonic acid is the active material for almost all synthetic detergents.
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
Why is matter insoluble in alcohol determined in soap and detergents?
Matter can be insoluble in alcohol in soap and detergents because alcohol is hydrophilic (water-loving), while some components in soap and detergents are hydrophobic (water-repelling). This difference in polarity between the alcohol and the matter prevents them from mixing and dissolving in each other.
What are non-ammonia detergents?
Non-ammonia detergents are cleaning products that do not contain ammonia as an active ingredient. These detergents often use alternative surfactants or enzymes to help remove dirt and grime. They are suitable for surfaces where the use of ammonia-based products may not be recommended, such as on some types of countertops or floors.
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?

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.
What is the role of sodium perborate in detergents?
Sodium perborate is used as a bleaching agent in detergents to help remove stains and brighten fabrics. It releases active oxygen when dissolved in water, which helps to break down and remove organic stains like coffee, tea, and wine. Sodium perborate is also effective in cold water, making it popular in laundry detergents.
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.
