Apart from the toilet, the dirtiest place in a home is the kitchen. Chinese kitchens are even better, because Chinese people are very particular about eating, and it would take a whole day to talk about Chinese recipes. Chinese people have a tradition of heavy oil cooking, and the kitchen is always filled with smoke. Oil stains are born, and cleaning up oil stains has become an arduous and tedious task. Therefore, kitchen cleaners, which can be called a mudslide in the decontamination industry, came into being.

However, the detergents from Aubao and supermarkets are very expensive. Can you prepare it by yourself, which is effective and cheap? Here is the knowledge and method for preparing heavy oil detergent.

Oil stain cleaning agents can be divided into three major types:

Alkaline type: uses immersion or spray cleaning, which has strong ability to remove heavy dirt, but is also highly corrosive and harmful to appliances. There is great corrosive damage to the surface and the user's skin.

Solvent type: Organic solvents have a good dissolving effect on oil stains and can remove oil stains. However, because organic solvents are flammable, explosive and highly toxic, their use safety is not ideal.

Surfactant type: Based on the wetting, penetrating, and emulsifying effects of surfactants, oil dirt is emulsified and dispersed into fine particles, and then the dirt is shed by mechanical (external force) action.

Because kitchen oil stain cleaning directly affects personal hygiene and safety, kitchen oil stain cleaning agents must have the characteristics of being safe and non-toxic to the human body, non-irritating to the skin, able to quickly remove oil stains, and not damaging appliances. . This is somewhat different from industrial oil cleaning agents. After analysis and determination, kitchen oil stain cleaning agents mainly consist of three parts: surfactants, alkaline additives, and organic solvents.

A kitchen oil stain cleaning agent with good performance can be prepared by compounding anionic surfactants and nonionic surfactants.

Alkaline additives and organic solvents help improve detergency.

Formula

Fatty alcohol polyoxyethylene ether (AEO) 4-6%: It is the fastest growing and largest amount of non-ionic surfactants. It has lipophilic and hydrophilic groups. Water base is produced by polymerizing fatty alcohols with active hydrogen and ethylene oxide respectively. It is a mixture of multiple polyoxyethylene ethers with different addition numbers of ethylene oxide. As a non-ionic surfactant, it plays the role of emulsification, foaming and decontamination. It is the main active ingredient in hand soap, laundry detergent, shower gel, laundry powder, dish soap, and metal cleaners.

Sodium alkyl benzene sulfonate (LAS) 2-5%: a synthetic detergent. There are two categories: hard and soft. It is easy to oxidize, has strong foaming power, high detergency, is easy to be compounded with various additives, has low cost, has mature synthesis technology and has a wide range of applications. It is an excellent anionic surfactant.

Fatty alcohol polyoxyethylene ether sulfate sodium (AES) 2-4%: Easily soluble in water, with excellent decontamination, emulsification, foaming and hard water resistance properties, mild washing properties will not Damage to skin. It is widely used in shampoo, bath liquid, dishwashing detergent, compound soap and other washing cosmetics; used in textile industry wetting agent, detergent, etc. Anionic surfactant.

Alkyl alcohol amide (6501) 1-3%: Alkyl alcohol amide is a non-ionic surfactant. As a thickener and foam stabilizer, it is widely used in detergents, cosmetics, diesel emulsification and Antistatic agents in plastics, metal processing cleaning agents and rust inhibitors, textile auxiliaries and surfactants for oilfield mining and oil displacement.

Triethanolamine 1-3%: Adding triethanolamine to liquid detergent can improve the removal of oily dirt, especially non-polar sebum. At the same time, the decontamination performance can be improved by increasing the alkalinity. And it has excellent compatibility.

Sodium xylene sulfonate 1-3%: Reduce the viscosity of the slurry and improve the fluidity; used as a water co-solvent, it can be added to powdered detergent to increase the water content, and at the same time improve the fluidity, feel, and It has good effects on anti-caking properties; as a solubilizer, after adding sodium p-toluenesulfonate, the viscosity and cloud point will decrease, which will have a great impact on the salt content and transparency of the liquid.

Sodium benzoate 0.4-0.5%: Sodium benzoate is an acidic preservative and has a better preservative effect in an acidic environment. It is a very commonly used food preservative and has the effect of preventing deterioration and souring and extending the shelf life.

Ethanol 2-4%: Ethanol is an organic substance, commonly known as alcohol, with the molecular formula CH3CH2OH (C2H6O).

Water: balance (make up to 100%)

I hope the above preparation plan can be helpful to you! (Haha, my colleagues will probably scold me now^_^ ^_^ ^_^)
