Chemistry of detergents
Main
article: detergent
Many kinds of molecules and
ions can serve as high-efficiency surfactants. They are often classified according
to the charge of the molecule or ion, the three main classes being
anionic, neutral, and cationic detergents. Anionic detergents are most
commonly encountered for domestic laundry detergents. Detergents are
ions or molecules that contain both polar and nonpolar components. The
polar component allows the detergent to dissolve in the water, whereas
the nonpolar portion solubilizes greasy ("hydrophobic") materials that
are the usual target of the cleaning process. An estimated 6 billion
kilograms of detergents are produced annually for domestic markets.
Components
Modern detergent
formulations – the entire product vs just the
surfactant – contain several components. Three main
ingredients are builders (50% by weight, approximately), thealkylbenzenesulfonate
surfactant (15%),
and bleaches (7%).
