The introduction of DETBUILD-150 heralds
a new era for Indian detergent industry. For the first
time Indian detergent manufactures now have an access to
a detergent builder that is: |
| |
|
|
|
| |
|
 |
Ecofriendly |
 |
|
Economic |
|
Equivalent to international
brands |
|
Indegenenously developed |
|
Made from locally available
resources (bauxite) and |
|
Substitute of hazardous STTP |
|

Eutrophication, accumulation
of excessive organic matter in stagnant waters, is
becoming more and more of concern worldwide.
Conventional detergents that carry phosphates into water
streams cause this effect that lead to growth algae in
water. Rate of growth of algae in water is directly
related to availability of phosphates, a condition
corresponding to high nutrition (eutrophic condition).
The process of decaying algae in water causes depletion
of oxygen levels and water based flora and fauna get
ashyxiated. Excessive eutrophication also leads to
siltation. Ingress of high percentage of phosphates from
detergents drained into sewage lines has a large share
in this phenomenon and worldwide it is being felt that
it is time to eliminate phosphates from detergent
formulations. After a careful scrutiny of various
chemicals available the scientist worldwide have
come to accept zeolites as the most cost effective
substitutes for phosphates. These products are not only
ecofriendly but are also not detrimental to the
existence to micro-organisms, fish and other life
bearing organisms in water. In addition, Det-Build-150
has a strong affinity of exchanging ions with heavy
metals whereby toxicity of water is further reduced. |

What is DETBUILD-150? |
| |
|
DETBUILD-150 is Synthetic
Zeolite-A, which is Sodium Aluminium Silicate. As it is
made from locally available raw material such as silica
and bauxite, it is highly cost effective and is a fully
indigenous product. DETBUILD-150 (zeolite) has a three
dimensional frame work structure in which silicon and
aluminium atoms are tetra hydrately co-ordinated in
oxygen atoms. The frame work structure enfolds cavities
containing water molecules and cations that are capable
of undergoing dispersion and caption exchange. The
presence of aluminium atom. The charges are
neutralized by exchange cations that are in aquition
within the Zeolite structure. |

Benefits of DETBUILD-150 in Detergent Formulations |
| |
|
|
| |
|
A series of scientific
experiments conducted to study the suitability of
DETBUILD-150 in detergent formulations have
indicated following results: |
| |
|
|
| |
|
|
DETBUILD-150 can safely
substitute STTP. However, the best results are
obtained by replacing 50% of STTP by
DETBUILD-150. It give more foam and imparts
better foam stability |
|
DETBUILD-150 in detergent also
acts as soil anti redepositing agent. |
|
DETBUILD-150 in detergent cakes
ensures better after use conditions on shelves
and reduces unwanted losses |
|
DETBUILD-150 Makes the detergent
free flowing |
|
DETBUILD-150 is lighter in weight and more
voluminous than STTP |
|
| |
|
|
| |
|
Beneficial of DETBUILD-150 on soil & environment |
| |
|
|
| |
|
|
Zeolite of which DETBUILD-150 is
made of has been found to have it acts as
carrier for proteins and vitamins |
|
DETBUILD-150 improves soil
conditions and ensures growth of better crops
according to the Japanese researchers. Carrots
showed 63% improvement in one such experiments |
|
Besides, DETBUILD-150 are used
for the removal of radioactive isotopes from the
effluent emanating from the atomic energy plants |
|
| |
|
| |
|
Extensive safety
tests conducted on DETBUILD-150 have proved beyond doubt
that it is absolutely safe to humans as well as
environment. DETBUILD-150 is non-toxic to aquatic
organisms and does not contribute to malnutrition of
lakes and streams & its thermodynamically unstable
in aqueous solution at environmental PH's and slowly
degenerates into simple components commonly found in
nature |
| |
|
|
| |
|
Main conclusion of safety
tests on DETBUILD-150 are |
| |
|
| |
|
|
Essentially non-toxic |
|
No effect at high levels in the diet |
|
Projected to present no silicosis hazard |
|
