Percentage of active ingredients

Posted by Aanchal on September 27, 2019 at 1:54 pm

What minimal percentage of active ingredients makes a good dishwashing liquid? When I say active ingredients, I am taking the assay (purity/concentration) of contents in consideration too.

So if I am adding 96% Labsa in the ratio 10% - it is only 9.6 % active Labsa.

Again, 28% SLES in the ratio 8% is only 2.56 % active SLES and so on.

@Aanchal This depends on what type of dishwashing liquid you are trying to create (economy, premium etc).

This article from Happi magazine might offer some further guidance.

Not sure why you are having trouble retrieving the article. You can just try searching on the happi website for ‘dish detergent’ and it should come up.

Here is a summary of Table 1 from that article.

Hope this helps
