Builders These are inorganic chemicals that are added to detergents. Surfactants These are organic derivatives such as sodium salts of high molecular weight alkyl sulfates and sulfonates.Ģ. Most of inorganic materials such as oleum (H2S2O7), NaOH, various sodiumphosphates and a large number of builders and additives are also added during the manufacture of detergents.ġ. Raw Materials Detergents may contain varying percentages of linear alkyl benzene sulfonates, sulfates, fatty acids, fatty alcohols and amines. Oil/Grease removal detergents – Specially formulated detergents for removal of oil and grease stains from clothes and various surfacesīased on their physical appearance and manufacture, detergents can be classified as,  Metal cleaning detergents – Specially formulated detergents for cleaning metals Liquid Detergents – Used for washing tablewareįloor detergents – Used for cleaning floors Some common types include, ĭetergent Powders – Used for washing clothes Detergents can be classified into various types based on their application.
