Description:

Detergent is a product specially formulated for cleaning through a washing process. The main components are usually composed of surfactants, washing AIDS and additives.

In detergent applications, cellulose ether acts as a versatile additive, providing key properties such as thickening, stability and water retention

The role of cellulose ether in Detergents:

Thickener: Cellulose ethers can be used as thickeners in liquids and gel detergents to give them the desired viscosity. This helps to improve the texture and stability of the detergent, ensuring that it does not separate or precipitate during storage.

Stabilizer: Cellulose ether can stabilize detergents by preventing the active ingredients from settling or separating. This ensures that the detergent maintains its efficacy and consistency throughout its shelf life.

Binder: Cellulose ether can be used as a binder in detergent tablets or powders. It helps to hold the various components of the detergent together and ensures that they do not chip or break.

Water retention: Cellulose ether helps to retain moisture in the detergent formulation, thereby improving the overall performance of the detergent.

Film formation: cellulose ether can form a film on the surface of the fabric, which can enhance the cleaning efficiency of the detergent.

Good emulsification and foam stability. Cellulose ether has high surface activity and can provide a solution with good emulsifying effect. At the same time, it can keep the stability of the bubbles in the solution and give the solution good application performance;

Light transmittance. Cellulose ethers are specially optimized from raw material to production process, with excellent light transmission to obtain a transparent and clear solution.
