Mix solid builders and fillers thoroughly. Add non-ionic slowly while mixing, mix thoroughly. Add CMC and fluorescent whitening agents (as desired). 

Adsorb LAS onto sodium carbonate, then mix with other solid builders thoroughly. Add Neodol 91-6 slowly while mixing, mix thoroughly. 

Other examples of concentrated laundry liquids have been described in the literature [53]. These might be called nonaqueous or low-water formulations. They may contain nonionic and anionic surfactants, inorganic builders, enzyme and bleach additives, and an organic solvent such as a low mole AE [54]. Surfactant levels may range from 30% up to 80%. In some cases, the builder salts are dispersed as solid particles in the non-aqueous phase [55]. 

However, the ability to act as a builder encompasses much more than so far been mentioned. Builders influence the coagulation of solid soil, often form a buffer system, and promote the soil suspending activity of washing liquors. They are further able to reduce the catalytic effect of ferric and manganic ions. Thus they support the stabilization of peroxides in detergents. Similarly, rancidness caused by catalytic processes of soap and fragrances can be avoided. 

To use the ECES Program Builder, the user creates computer input as shown in Figure 1. The input consists of three parts The names of the components in the inlet stream to the flash unit, the names of the species present in all the outlet streams - vapor, aqueous, or solids, and the chemical and/or ionic equilibria of interest. From this input the Program Builder Block using the imbedded thermodynamic framework described earlier writes the model description as given in Figure 2. 

Since the basic model generated by the Program Builder Block looks similar in many ways to the previously illustrated model, we have not shown it here. One difference in this case is that we have an expression for solid-liquid equilibria which is written from the last mass balance expression entered by the user and is then written by the Program Builder as ... 

Silicates. Both sodium and potassium silicate solids or solutions have valued functionality including emulsification, buffering, deflocculation, and antiredeposition ability. Silicates also provide corrosion protection to metal parts in washing machines, as well as to the surfaces of china patterns and metal utensils in automatic dishwashers. Silicates are manufactured in liquid, crystalline, or powdered forms and with different degrees of alkalinity. The alkalinity of the silicate provides buffering capacity in the presence of acidic soils and enhances the sequestration ability of the builder system in the formulation. The sili-cate/alkali ratios of the silicates are selected by the formulator to meet specific product requirements. Silicate ratios of 1/1 are commonly used in dry blending applications with silicate ratios of 2/1 and higher commonly used in laundry and autodish applications. 

BURCO FINISH 55 is a 55% solids polyvinyl acetate emulsion for use in textile finishing as a hand builder. 

Although the difference between toners and tinted sealers may not be clearly defined, it is usually the role of the tinted sealer to provide both color and sealing properties. Therefore the tinted sealer usually is higher in solids and provides the majority of color to the finish. There has been a resurgence of popularity of tinted sealers, owing to the appeal of blonde or natural finishes. The fact that tinted sealers are becoming more popular may be the result in part of thek ability to fiU the roles of both stain and film builder within a finishing system.
