DETERGENT THEORY
A detergent is a compound capable of removing, dispersing and suspending dirt from the surface
being cleaned.
Detergents are surfactants, i.e. they lower the surface tension of water. Detergents have a
molecular structure with a water-soluble part (hydrophilic) and an oil-soluble part (hydrophobic).
When the surfactant is very hydrophilic, the product is a good wetting agent with little detergent
power; if, on the contrary, the surfactant has a large hydrophobic part, we have a good
emulsifier with little detergent activity.
A surfactant with good detergent capacity is one that has a good balance between its hydrophilic
and hydrophobic parts.
The detergent activity of the surfactant is influenced by temperature, addition of acids, alkalis,
solvents, salts and gums.
AUXILIARY SUBSTANCES
What is commonly known as a finished product called detergent is a mixture of one or more
surfactants with detergent properties, plus diluents and auxiliary substances such as those
described below:
SOLVENTS
They are used together with surfactants for degreasing, some of the most commonly used are
naphtha, benzine, carbon tetrachloride, butyl cellosolve, ethyl alcohol, isopropyl alcohol and pine
oil, among others.
ACIDS
For the cleaning of food processing machines, surfactants, usually nonionic, are combined with
acids such as phosphoric, oxalic, citric and gluconic acids.
ALCALIS
They impart sufficient alkalinity to saponify fats of vegetable or animal origin; the most
commonly used are caustic soda, potassium soda, ammonia and its derivatives, among others.
SUSPENSION AGENTS
They help to keep dirt particles suspended and dispersed, preventing their redeposition on the
surface being cleaned. The most common are carboxymethyl cellulose and bentonite.
INHIBITORS
They protect the surfaces being cleaned from being attacked by the detergent solution,
commonly sodium metasilicate is used.
OPTICAL BRIGHTENERS
They brighten and whiten fabrics by a light-reflecting effect when exposed to the sun, e.g.
diestearyl biphenyl disulfonate derivatives.
KIDNAPPERS
They are used to eliminate the hardness of the water and thus increase the foam. Traditionally,
phosphates (sodium tripolyphosphate) have been used for this purpose, but given their negative
ecological effects, it has been decided to eliminate them and replace them with EDTA.
ENZYMES
DILUENT
In the case of liquid detergents, the diluent is water, for powder detergents it is sodium sulfate.

not use on enameled or painted surfaces, or on plastics and electrical connections.
PINE GEL
I PRODUCT FUNCTION
Detergents in gel form are in great demand by consumers due to their very high concentration
of cleaning agents and consistently excellent results in general cleaning, dishwashing, removing
stains from collars and shirt cuffs and as a degreaser for mechanics' hands, among other uses.
1. - Make a uniform mixture with the potassium soap, dyes and formaldehyde.
Take some gel and put it on a fiber for deep cleaning and degreasing.
If the cleaning is lighter, dissolve the gel portion in water and the product will perform better.
This gel serves as a base to make a countertype of the Pinol cleanser, if 100 ml of gel is mixed
with 900 ml of water and 2.5 ml of formaldehyde is added as a preservative. This cleaner is
transparent, but when dissolved in the bucket of water it leaves the mixture opalescent white
(bloom effect).

Procedure:
1. In the plastic container and with the help of the grater, grate the soap with its
smallest blades, so as to obtain the smallest and thinnest strips possible, so that they
are perfectly diluted in the water and no lumps are left in the final product.
2. In a saucepan, add the water together with the colorant and heat it. Shortly before it
starts to boil, add the grated soap, stirring constantly with the help of a spoon and
avoiding the formation of foam.
3. When it starts to boil, add the alcohol, lemon juice and baking soda, integrate the
ingredients perfectly, and lower the flame, until a homogeneous mixture is seen and
the soap is completely dissolved, add the triethanolamine and sodium lauryl sulfate,
stirring constantly until a homogeneous paste is formed.
4. Finally, remove the pot from the heat and pour the paste into the plastic containers.
The dishwashing cream is left to cool in the containers until it solidifies (approximately 3
hours) and then covered to prevent it from losing moisture and cracking. Each container is
labeled with the name of the product, date of manufacture and expiration date. Store in a
cool, dry place out of the reach of children.

1. - Heat separately the water (1) at 70ºC and on the other hand the mixture of quaternary
ammonium salt (Dehyquart A) and alcohols (2) at 70ºC. This mixture should be heated in a
water bath.

Interesting fact:
The first ancestor of today's cars, a steam tractor, was built in France in the second half of
the 18th century, and in 1892 in Paris, Levassor built the first real automobile, as it had a
special place for the engine, and even had a clutch and gears. Many inventors and
manufacturers began to build automobiles, which at first were so expensive that only the rich
could afford them, until Ransom Olds, founder of the Oldsmobile factory, built the first

They have been classified in this way because they are surfaces with different finishes and
dirt problems.
Body
It is a steel surface coated with automotive paint and glossy finish, which can be dulled by
the use of harsh detergents, so traditionally it was only washed with water, however, if we
use mild detergents we can carry out a deep cleaning without damaging the paint and if we
also leave a light protective layer of silicone oil, we will give the surface shine, while avoiding
the effects of acid rain.However, if we use mild detergents we can carry out a deep cleaning

IMPORTANT NOTES
The water used to prepare the products should not have been stored in tanks or cisterns
that are not washed regularly, it is preferable to use tap water from the inlet.
• Powder colorants should be diluted in water before adding them to the products, so that
the color intensity can be better controlled. If you have the three basic dyes; blue, red
and yellow, you can obtain all the shades of the rainbow by mixing them. Anilines and
water-soluble vegetable dyes are recommended for cleaning products. In the case of
cosmetics, they must be approved by the Ministry of Health.
• Essences should be stored in containers that protect them from light. They are added at
room temperature, never when the product is hot.
• Solvents such as isopropyl alcohol and xylol, which are flammable and form explosive
substances with air, should be stored in ventilated places where smoking is prohibited.
• Acids and alkalis are very corrosive to the skin, eyes and respiratory tract and should be
handled with gloves. In case an acid comes in contact with the skin, wash with sodium
bicarbonate solution, never with water alone.
In case an alkali (monoethanolamine or soda) comes in contact with the skin, wash with
citric acid solution, never with water alone.
• Formaldehyde is a very toxic substance that should be handled with gloves and should
never be mixed with bleach. Never put more than what is indicated in the formulas.
• The salt for thickening products containing sodium lauryl ether sulfate should not exceed
one third of the detergent itself or of this detergent, because in this case, instead of
increasing the viscosity, it decreases it. Never add it directly, add it previously dissolved
in water, at the maximum concentration, to better control the final viscosity.
• It is advisable to make batches of 20 liters of each of the products, since these can be
made in plastic buckets of this capacity and can be easily agitated with a wooden shovel.
• A liter of pure water weighs one kilogram, but not all substances weigh one kilogram.
• The information contained in this publication is provided with the intention of training the
reader in the manufacture of products, however, since we have no control over the
production practices and selection of raw materials, we assume no liability expressed or
implied in the presentation and use of this information.
The trademarks of the products mentioned here are the property of their manufacturers
and we do not have any relationship with them nor do we describe the original formulas,
we only provide the formula of products that work in a similar way.
* See important notes in this manual.
Dissolve the ingredients in the water in the order of the formula and adjust the viscosity at
the end with the saturated solution of common salt (table salt dissolved in a little water). Mix
in each step with moderate agitation.
