Chapter 1
Lemon Herb Chicken with Detergent Gel
The allowable quantity of major ingredients in a liquid detergent depends on the intended use (laundry, dishwashing, or multipurpose cleaning). Below is a typical formulation range for laundry liquid detergent expressed as percentages by weight.
Ingredient
Typical Range (%)
Function
Anionic surfactant (e.g., LABSA neutralized to LAS, SLES)
10–20
Primary cleaning agent
Nonionic surfactant (e.g., alcohol ethoxylate)
2–8
Grease removal, boosts cleaning
Builder (e.g., sodium citrate, STPP where permitted)
2–10
Water softening, improves cleaning
Sodium carbonate (washing soda)
1–5
Alkalinity and cleaning
Sodium hydroxide (for neutralization/pH adjustment)
0.2–1.0
pH adjustment
Thickener (e.g., sodium chloride, HEC)
0.5–3
Viscosity control
Solvent (e.g., ethanol, propylene glycol)
1–5
Solubilizes ingredients
Preservative
0.05–0.30
Prevents microbial growth
Fragrance
0.1–1.0
Scent
Dye
0.001–0.05
Color
Optical brightener (optional)
0.05–0.2
Fabric whitening
Enzymes (optional)
0.2–1.0
Removes protein, starch, and fat stains
Water
Balance to 100% (typically 55–80%)
Carrier
Example Formula (100 kg batch)
• LABSA (96%) – 12 kg
• SLES (70%) – 8 kg
• Alcohol ethoxylate – 3 kg
• Sodium citrate – 4 kg
• Sodium carbonate – 2 kg
• Sodium chloride – 1.5 kg
• Ethanol – 2 kg
• Preservative – 0.15 kg
• Fragrance – 0.3 kg
• Dye – 0.01 kg
• Water – 67.04 kg
• Sodium hydroxide – as needed to neutralize the LABSA and adjust the final pH to about 7.5–9.0.
These ranges are general industry guidelines. The exact allowable quantities depend on:
• Local regulations (some builders, such as phosphates, are restricted or banned in certain countries).
• The desired performance and cost.
• Raw material purity and concentration.
• Product stability and safety requirements.
If you are manufacturing liquid detergent commercially, I can also provide a standard industrial formulation (economy, medium, or premium grade) with precise mixing procedures.
