Produção e testes de propriedades físico-químicas para determinação e controle de qualidade de um novo detergente a ser implantado no mercado

Abstract

The first version of the detergents came in Europe and they were obtained from the sulfation of fatty alcohols obtained from animal and vegetable fats followed by neutralization by sodium hydroxide. The product is considered unanimous of the consumers for domestic cleaning, growing every year, uninterruptedly and reaching in 2016 a commercial value of R $ 1.5 billion. The term detergent comes from the Latin word detergere, which means to cleanse and make it disappear. Several aspects of detergents indicate their quality and these aspects are closely linked to their chemical composition and the function that each component plays. The objective of this work is the production of detergents of different chemical compositions and the evaluation of the quality of these products. For this, five formulations of different chemical compositions were made, and the values of pH, viscosity, turbidity, formation and foam stability were evaluated. The results obtained were compared with the results obtained for twelve commercial detergents. Finally, a sample was chosen to be produced on a commercial scale by PHIQ - Philipéia Indústria Química LTDA
