  White liquid laundry detergent

  Posted by MartinaM on November 22, 2016 at 6:52 pm

  Hi all,

  I would like to produce white liquid laundry detergent. I am using Glycol distearate but I don’t need this shiny effect. Is there any option how to get white color of the liquid laundry detergent? I was thinking about Styrene/acrylate copolymer but I didn’t get the sample yet. I am not sure if it is suitable for this kind of product.

  Thank you for your help.

  You are right Martina, Acusol OP305 @ around 0.25-0.5% will give you enough opacity. Add it last in the formulation after diluting with batch water, also the pH should be around 7-8.

  An polymer based opacifier is what you need. Ask your supplier for a opacifier suitable for your product type and pH level.

  I have used an Esicryl branded opacifier in the past and it worked well but there is also a range of Acusol opacifiers that might meet your needs.
