Detergent Compound

Whatsapp Order

Detergent Compound is a formulated blend of surfactants, builders, fillers, enzymes, and other additives designed to provide superior cleaning performance in various household, institutional, and industrial cleaning applications. Supplied as a free-flowing powder or granules, it dissolves quickly in water to effectively remove dirt, oils, grease, and stains from fabrics, dishes, and surfaces. The compound balances cleaning power, foaming, water softening, and fabric care through a combination of synthetic surfactants (anionic, nonionic), builders (such as sodium carbonate, zeolites), enzymes for stain degradation, optical brighteners, anti-redeposition agents, and fragrance. This versatile base material is essential for laundry detergents, dishwashing powders, and multipurpose cleaning formulations.
