Hand dishwashing detergents formulations

An early hand dishwashing detergent is compared to a more recent formulation in Table 3.3. From this comparison one can see that the basic components have not changed much over the years. It is clear that surfactants have been and continue to be the most important ingredients, responsible for cleaning and foaming. 

Use Range from light-duty hand dishwashing formulations to heavy-duty industrial detergents, rinse aids, metal cleaners, etc. 

Formulating an LDLD is both a science and an art. It requires a good balance between product performance, aesthetics, safety, and cost. From the consumer point of view, the important attributes for a hand dishwashing liquid are listed in Table 7.9. Liquid dishwashing detergents are formulated to deliver against these consumer-relevant attributes. 

Unlike sodium LAS, alcohol ether sulfates are more tolerant to hardness ions and as a result do not require an accompanying high level of builder in the formulation. Figure 8.11 shows the relative insensitivity of AEOS to hardness ions. Small amounts of AEOS when added to LAS were found to improve the interfacial properties. They are more compatible with enzymes, which can also reduce the cost of enzyme stabilizers in the formulation. They are also milder to the skin and, as a result, are frequently used in hand dishwashing applications. The superior detergency performance of this surfactant is demonstrated by its superior efficacy in most stain categories.
