Fabric detergency

Miscellaneous Derivatives. Fimehc acid is used as an intermediate in some pharmaceuticals and in aroma chemicals ethylene brassylate is a synthetic musk (114). Salts of the diacids have shown utUity as surfactants and as corrosion inhibitors. The alkaline, ammonium, or organoamine salts of glutaric acid (115) or C-5—C-16 diacids (116) are useflil as noncorrosive components for antifreeze formulations, as are methylene azelaic acid and its alkah metal salt (117). Salts derived from C-21 diacids are used primarily as surfactants and find apphcation in detergents, fabric softeners, metal working fluids, and lubricants (118). The salts of the unsaturated C-20 diacid also exhibit anticorrosion properties, and the sodium salts of the branched C-20 diacids have the abUity to complex heavy metals from dilute aqueous solutions (88). 

Synthetic musks are important ingredients for the fragrance industry. They are heavily used in laundry detergents, fabric softeners, cleaning products, air fresheners, and so on, and in cosmetic and personal hygiene products such as hand soap, shampoo, and perfume. Nitro, polycyclic, macrocyclic, and the newest dass, alicydic musks constitute the four major classes. The OSPAR (Oslo-Paris) Commission summarized information on their environmental behavior that was relevant to its charge, namely protection of the northeast Atlantic marine environment [37]. Most of the identified uses of synthetic musks are expected to lead to their release to...

Plentifiil amounts of toxins are also found in our laundry detergents, fabric softeners (don t be fooled by their lovely names and pretty scents—these chemicals are some of the worst health offenders), room deodorizers, perfumes, colognes, air fresheners, cosmetics, and personal hygiene products. For eyeopening information on the effects of these toxins, the many hidden places they lurk, and how to eliminate them from your body, read my books The Brain Wash and The 4- Week Ultimate Body Detox Plan. Regardless of how you come into contact with them, the majority of these toxins acidify your body. 

In contrast to most other liquid detergents, fabric softeners are not true solutions. The long-chain quaternary salts do not dissolve to form an isotropic solution.

One concept that appears to be of interest is the formulation of two-in-one or softergent liquids. This idea has seen its popularity rise and fall over the past two decades. The prospect of delivering fabric softening in a liquid detergent has often met with consumer pessimism. Most liquid detergent/fabric softener... 

It is a fact of modern society that many ordinary items of everyday use are obtained from complex chemical processes. Life-saving drugs, capsules and tablets, as well as perfumes, are derived from coal. From crude oil and petroleum gases, we obtain fertilisers, plastics, synthetic rubbers, pesticides, detergents, fabrics and coatings and paints. From seawater we can produce vital heavy chemicals including caustic soda, sodium chloride, sodium hydroxide, hydrochloric acid and so on. 

HHCB (Galaxolide ) [ 10] and AHTN (Tonalide ) [ 11] are persistent polycyclic synthetic musk substitutes (PMF), with widespread application as fragrances in soaps, perfumes, air fresheners, detergents, fabric softeners and other household cleaning products (Rimkus, 1999). They are characterized by low water solubilities (Balk and Ford, 1999a/b 1.25-1.75 mg/1), and log KoW values in the range of 5.7-5.9 (Rimkus, 1999). We detected HHCB and AHTN accompanied by 4-oxoisophorone [ 12], a constituent of perfumes (Ullmann, 2001), in all samples within our research area, reflecting a widespread application and subsequent emission (see Table 4).

Perfumes can be used in different types of products (Figure 1) such as cosmetics and toiletries (fine fragrances, shampoos, conditioners, hair sprays, shaving creams, makeup, baby care products, deodorants, soaps, feminine products, etc.) and household products (cleaners, air fresheners, bleaches, laundry detergents, fabric softeners, etc.).

As a broad spectrum microbicide with long lasting activity Tinosan is used in home and fabric care products such as dishwashing liquids, laundry detergents, fabric softeners, surface cleaner. Addition rates move between 0.3-0.6%. The incorporation of the pumpable formulation is easy. The persistant activity after application of Tinosan containing household products has been confirmed and reported by Ochs et al. (1999).
