    my detergent powder is a little moist, I wanted it dry without affecting the performance… hope someone can help..

    soda ash 5%

    labs 0.5%

    stpp 1%

    cfos .70%

    cmc .03%

    speckles .55%

    scent .90%

    zeolite .17%

    sod metasilicate .04%

    sls 10.5%

    aos 1.75%

    the liquid part are labs, antibac, scent

    how to make the result dry so it will not stick together when pressed and according to machine supplier it should really be dry to avoid sticking to hopper.

    What is the other ~80% of the formula?

    You could try changing LABSA to the sodium salt (Sodium docdecylbenzene sulfonate powder).

    It appears that you intend to make dry mix detergent powder? if that is the case then you should have more solids then liquid in the formulation. Please let me know what’s the process you intend to make and equipment where the powder is to be made. I will then let you know how to make the dry mix detergent powder without stickiness.

        if little moist, it will definately sticky onto the ribbons, maybe a double cone blender with jacket for drying will be helpful.
