PRODUCT DESCRIPTION:

Diamond laundry detergent is a premium quality concentrated. Safe for use in hard or soft water,
on all types of washable fabrics and in all types of washing machines. A whiter, brighter wash is
obtained because of special brighteners and anti-re-deposition agents. Since it is concentrated,
use only small part the amount necessary with light-density detergents. Special water
conditioners prevent hard-water scum and help protect the washing machine from corroding.
Like a diamond, your clothes will shine!

PROCESS:

APPARATUSES:

1. Basin
2. 50 mL Graduated cylinder

RAW MATERIALS:

1. 1 kg linear alkyl benzene sulfonate (LABS) powder (grease remover)


2. 1 kg coconut fatty alcohol sulfate (CFAS) powder (soap-base)
3. 2 kg soda ash
4. 6.5 kg sodium sulfate
5. 100 g speckles
6. 30 mL scent oil
PROCEDURE:
1. Prepare the materials needed.

2. In a pail, place 2 kg of soda ash and 1kg of LABS powder. Mix it well.
3. Add 6.5 kg sodium sulphates and 1 kg CFAS powder. Mix it well.

4. Add 1 kg speckles (blue and green.)

5. Add 30 mL fragrance oil (e.g. ariel, breeze, tide). Then mix it well.

Learning Insight:

We are now aware how mixtures of different bases increase the effectiveness of the detergent.
We have also learned the proportions of the components of a detergent. And importantly, we are
now able to prepare a powder detergent.

Members Participation:

Shiela – She is assigned as the representative of our group to make the detergent.
Fauline, Chamylle, Christian – These members are assigned to conduct another experiment
