Experiments in the formulation of heavy duty liquid detergents from tallow

Abstract
Several tallow‐based detergents were investigated in simplified formulations comprising ca. 10~15% active ingredient, 4% foam stabilizer, 10% isopropyl alcohol, 20% K4P2O7 and 50~55% water, 1% with respect to carboxymethylcellulose. Disodium 2‐sulfoethyl ॅ‐sulfostearate or sodium oleate could be used as the only active ingredient or in blends with other tallow‐based compounds. The presence of a soluble form of the tallow alcohol sulfates, sodium 9,10‐dichlorooctadecyl sulfate, gave maximum detergency in hard water.
