Detergent Chemicals
APPLICATIONS
1.
As sediments dispersant agent in household and industrial detergents which enhances whiteness.
2.
As a processing aid in the production of powder detergents by reducing number of fines resulting less dusting, and subsequently lower energy consumption.
3.
Prevents limescale deposits.
4.
Descaling agent in circulating cooling systems.
5.
Sludge dispersant in waste water treatment plant.
