Liquid detergent, lavender

For all textiles made of cotton, linen, hemp and blended fabrics.
The ingredients sugar tenside and coconut fatty alcohol sulphate are the most easily degradable and skin-friendly detergents next to soap. They are less sensitive to water hardness, so this liquid detergent is especially useful for hard water.

Application:
Put softener in the filling drawer of the washing machine and add detergent in the dosing washing ball directly into the drum.

Application areas:
For coloured and white laundry made of cotton, linen, hemp and blended fabrics; 30-95 °C

Origin and properties of the ingredients:
Soap, sugar surfactant and fatty alcohol sulphate work together in this liquid detergent to complement and reinforce each other. For the soap, rapeseed oil/sunflower oil from controlled organic cultivation is saponified in a special saponification process, without the addition of heat from the outside, with the help of potash lye. As a washing-active substance, soap uniquely combines all the dirt-wetting, dirt-dissolving and dirt-carrying properties necessary for the washing process. This effect of the soap is enhanced by sugar tenside and fatty alcohol sulphate, which are obtained from the purely vegetable raw materials sugar, starch and coconut fat by chemical reactions with the help of acids. At the same time, this combination eliminates the disadvantage of soap, namely to form lime soap, which can settle on the laundry if the softener dosage is not accurate. The alcohol, which is obtained by fermenting vegetable starch, serves to keep the detergent liquid and thus enables a high concentration of washing-active substance. Castor oil sulphate, also called Turkish red oil, is obtained by reacting the oil with sulphuric acid. It increases the fat dissolving power of the detergent.

Product feature:
The special energy-saving method of saponification, the use of oils from controlled organic cultivation and an exceptionally favourable price/wash performance ratio for liquid detergents are the salient features of this product.

pH-value:  (20° C), (5 g/l H2O)  approx. 8.5 - 9.5
At temperatures below 10-15° C, the product changes and becomes somewhat solid and cloudy, which disappears again in the warmth, if necessary by light shaking.

Biodegradation:
Soap made from vegetable oils has the special feature compared to all other washing-active substances that immediately after use it combines with the lime always present in wastewater to form lime soap and thus neutralises itself in its surface-active effect on aquatic life (primary degradation). The lime soap is then rapidly degraded by microorganisms to 100 % carbon dioxide and water (secondary degradation).
In the manufacturing process of sugar surfactants, coconut fatty alcohol sulphate and sulphated castor oil, parts are taken from the vegetable raw materials starch, sugar and fat, which, however, remain completely intact in their natural structural fabric. It is therefore relatively easy for microorganisms to completely degrade these surfactants to 100 %.
Soap, sugar surfactants, coconut fatty alcohol sulphate and sulphated castor oil are considered readily biodegradable according to OECD.
