DETERGENT
1. APPARATUS
(a) Reaction tank
(b) Hydrometer
(c) Grinding machine
(d) Mixer
(e) Dying machine
(f) Containers
(g) Store room
(h) Scale

2. CHEMICALS
i. P.K oil
ii. Caustic soda – Base chemical
iii. Soda ash – increases the quantity of our detergent
iv. Sodium sulphate – increases the quantity and acts as the foaming agent
v. Kaoline – Acts as the foaming agent
vi. sulfonoic acid – It is a foaming agent
vii. Perfume
viii. Ammonia solution – turns solution to powdery form
ix. Hydrogen peroxide – Bleaching agent
x. Colourant

3. REACTION PROCESS
(a) Caustic soda
One cup caustic soda plus three cups of water i.e. 1 cup of caustic soda + 3 cups of water for at least 48 hours. The hydrometer should be at 1200

4. FORMATION
i. P.K oil - - - - - 12
ii. Caustic soda - - - - 7
iii. Soda ash + Kaoline + sodium sulphate - 4
iv. Sulphonic acid - - - - 2/3
v. Ammonia Solution - - - - 1/3
vi. Hydrogen peroxide - - - 1/8
vii. Perfume - - - - - to taste
viii. Colourant - - - - - to taste
5. FORMULA
Oil + colourant + Caustic soda + ( Soda ash + Sodium sulphate + Kaoline) + Sulphonic acid + Ammonia solution + Hydrogen peroxide + perfume


6. METHOD
Steps
i. Put on your heating system
ii. Put your biler on the heating system
iii. Measure the required P.K.O into the boiler and heat
iv. Add your colourant
v. Allow the colourant to mix properly
vi. Add your caustic soda
vii. Allow the mixture to heat properly
viii. Add your soda ash + Kaoline + sodium sulphate
ix. Add your sulphonic acid and intensify the heat
x. Add Ammonia solution and hydrogen peroxide
xi. Add perfume
xii. Heat intensively until every moisture is given up through vapour
xiii. Put off the heating system and take the product to the store room and spread for over 24 hours
xiv. Take the product to the grinding machine
xv. Package for sale.
