Ecofriendly Laundry Detergent
« on: July 14, 2011, 02:10:56 AM »
I am currently working on designing a line of green products such as detergents.

I want to use the following chemicals in a liquid laundry detergent formulation:

Sodium Borate
Sodium Percarbonate
Carboxymethyl cellulose
Coconut diethanolamide
Alcohol Ethoxylate
D-Limonene
Water

However, I am having trouble determining the proportions of each chemical for the final products. Does anyone have any suggestions or should I just do trial and error and find the best products

There are some recipes out there for homemade laundry detergents.  Maybe those will give you some ideas for the main components.  For the additives, such as d-limonene,you can research Material Safety Data Sheets of the commercial brands.
