Dishwashing foam stability performance of an LAS-based light-duty liquid (LDL) is strongly affected by the carbon chain distribution, by water hardness, and, under some conditions, by phenyl isomer distribution. Foaming characteristics of C)2 phenyl isomer blends have been reported previously for conditions where LAS is the single anionic surfactant in the formulation (phosphate-built laundry powder) and the level of residual water hardness is low [30,31]. Under these conditions the internal phenyl isomers of C,2 LAS gave better foam performance than the 2-phenyl isomer. 

AOS is mainly applied in light-duty liquids (LDLs) and in heavy-duty powders (HDPs) [1-3,5-7]. By sulfonating C12 to C16 a-olefins, AOS with excel-...

Surfactants and Detergents Uses. Perhaps tire largest use of sulfonic acids is the manufacture of surfactants and surfactant formulations. In almost till cases, the parent sulfonic acid is an intermediate which is converted to a sulfonate prior to use. The largest volume uses for sulfonic acid intermediates arc the manufacture of heavy-duty liquid and powder detergents, light-duty liquid detergents, hand soaps (see Soaps), and shampoos. 

The ether sulfates are used in light-duty liquids, heavy-duty powders, and shampoos. 

The two largest end uses, which are household products and industrial processing aids, together account for 86 percent of the total production of surfactants [4, 22], Household products include heavy-duty powder and liquid detergents, light-duty liquids, and fabric softeners. 

The situation is different for products designed for light duty, such as for hand dishwashing and softening fabrics. These liquids are generally superior in performance to their powder counterparts to the extent that these existed in the first place. This is also true of shampoo formulations, for which there is no common solid equivalent. 

Concentrated high purity flake form of Sodium DDBSA. Used in the formulation of light duty and heavy duty detergents. Especially useful in powdered cleaners and scours. Linear molecule offers high blodegradabllity. 

For use in rug shampoos, light duty liquid detergents, fine fabric wash. WA-Extra offers low salt content and low free oil. M -Dry is a high active powder form. 

Applications. Alkane sulfonates (PS and SAS) are mainly used in Europe in heavy-and light-duty powder detergents as well as in all-purpose hard-surface liquid cleaners. Due to their excellent resistance to high electrolyte contents, alkane sulfonates have also found interesting prospects in concentrated industrial or domestic cleaners containing mineral chemical additives. 

Applications. Linear alkylbenzene sulfonate is a very cost-effective surfactant which is extensively used in a broad variety of detergents for household, fabric care, institutional, and industrial products. lii laundry products (powders and liquids), LAS is generally the workhorse surfactant of choice, usually used in combination with other anionic or nonionic surfactants. LAS is also an appropriate anionic surfactant for light-duty and delicate powder laundry detergents.

Monoethanolamides are only slightly soluble in water and have excellent alkaline resistance. They are used in heavy-duty powder - detergents as foam stabilizers and rinse improvers. Diethanolamides are used in light-duty liquid detergents, where higher alkalinity is not desired but better solubilities. Large volumes are also consumed in personal care products, such as shampoos and toothpastes.
