Desenvolvimento de produto Sabão Tripla Ação (Limpa, amacia e perfuma)

Abstract

Soaps have been used by humanity since ancient times, there are myths about how it was discovered, and showing the uncertainty around the subject, throughout history soaps were not always used for cleaning, there was a time when it was used as means to beautify. Synthetic household cleaner detergents production started since 1933. In Brazil, the market for high duty liquid detergents is stable and finished the year of 2018 raising R$ 2.25 billion, not very different from the raised in 2016, when it raised R$2.19 billion. The objective of this current work is to develop a liquid detergent with softener that’s viable to be manufactured at LAPQ. The formulations were made varying the quantity of anionic and cationic (softener) surfactants. Tests were conducted to determine the pH, the viscosity and the cleaning power of the developed formulations as well as the commercial brands available. The results were compared to find out which formulation was the best. The formulation 210 is the best of the developed ones, although the high pH (10.64), a problem present in all formulations, has a good viscosity (545.83) and consistent cleaning power even at lower concentrations.
