COMO HACER DETERGENTE LIQUIDO PREMIUM

How to Prepare a Premium Liquid Detergent

Ingredients and Measurements

• The video begins with an introduction to making a premium liquid detergent, emphasizing the use of sulfuric acid. The required amount of water is 780 grams, already measured out.

• Key ingredients include:

• Sodium hydroxide (caustic soda) at 24.8 grams.

• Texapon 70 at 25 grams.

• Linear alkylbenzene sulfonic acid (LABS) at 190 grams.

• Oxalic acid at a minimal amount of 0.5 grams for one liter of detergent.

Additional Components

• Other necessary components are:

• Sodium chloride (salt) at 1.7 grams.

• EDTA technical grade at 0.5 grams.

• Urea at 13.8 grams, which appears in pellet form.

• A mixture of nonylphenol (8 grams) and fragrance (4 grams) is also included; color can be added optionally but is not necessary for this recipe.

Mixing Process

• The preparation involves mixing all dry ingredients with a small amount of water first to ensure they dissolve properly before combining them into the main mixture. This step helps prevent clumping and ensures even distribution in the final product.

• Safety precautions are highlighted: always mix caustic soda in a well-ventilated area due to toxic vapors produced during the process when mixed with water. After dissolving sodium hydroxide, it will heat up slightly before adding Texapon 70 for further mixing until fully dissolved.

Incorporating Additional Ingredients

• Once the initial mixture has thickened after adding LABS, other ingredients like oxalic acid should be introduced gradually while continuing to mix thoroughly to achieve desired consistency and effectiveness as a cleaning agent. Salt is added next for additional thickness in the solution, followed by EDTA and urea, ensuring each component is well integrated before moving on to the next ingredient.

Final Steps and Considerations

• After thorough mixing, any remaining granules should be minimized by continuous stirring; then add the pre-mixed fragrance carefully to avoid cloudiness in the final product—aiming for translucency instead.

Preparation of a Multi-Purpose Detergent

Introduction to Ingredients

• The process begins with integrating all products, ensuring they do not separate. Formaldehyde is introduced as a preservative, approximately one gram per liter of the mixture.

Characteristics of the Detergent

• The resulting detergent is highly concentrated and suitable for various cleaning tasks. It has a thicker consistency compared to previous formulations, eliminating the need for additional thickeners.

Adding Color and Identity

• Users can choose whether to add color; if desired, a light blue tint can be incorporated. This step enhances product identity without compromising its quality.

• Vegetable dye should be dissolved in water before adding it to ensure proper mixing and uniformity in color.

Quality Assurance

• After resting, the detergent should appear completely translucent. High-quality chemicals are essential for achieving this clarity.

• The mixture remains thick even before settling, indicating good initial quality.

Final Steps and Observations

• A portion of the mixture is transferred into another container, nearing completion of one liter.
