OBJECTIVE

Know the principles of formulating and manufacturing cleaning, hygiene, and sanitation products.

Assess the principles for the formulation and manufacturing of cleaning, hygiene, and sanitation products.

Propose coherent and appropriate experimental designs that allow you to establish the best conditions for the
development of hygiene, cleaning, and sanitation products.

REGULATORY SUPPORT

European Commission Health and Consumers

 NTC 3287: Soaps and detergents. Liquid fabric softeners.

Decision 706: Harmonization of legislation regarding household hygiene products and absorbent products
personal hygiene.

Decision 721: Andean Technical Regulation regarding the Requirements and Inspection Guide for operation
establishments that manufacture Household Hygiene Products and Personal Hygiene Absorbent Products.

Decree 1545 of 1998: By which the Health, Quality Control, and

Surveillance of Household Cleaning, Hygiene and Sanitation Products and other provisions are established.

TECHNICAL CRITERIA FOR PRODUCT DESIGN

Since the function of fabric softeners is to neutralize the electrostatic charges present in textiles and
impart softness to them; the formulation must contain cationic surfactants that neutralize static charge
acquired during mechanical handling or upon contact with anionic agents, and likewise promote the
softness and lubricity in natural and synthetic fibers. In addition, the formulation must contain auxiliary agents that
modify the viscosity, preservatives, humectants, exhaustion auxiliaries (can be controllers of
pH), etc.

Another aspect to consider is the pH of the formulation, as this can influence: the dispersibility of the softener in
water; in its compatibility with additives; in the zeta potential of textile fibers, in the depletion of the softener by
part of the fibers and in the solidity of the dyed fabrics.

The viscosity of the final product can be controlled by the addition of inorganic salts (sodium carbonate, sodium chloride,
sodium sulfate, etc.). However, it should be noted that viscosity can influence the dispersibility of
product in water, which affects its uniformity in textile application.
 It must also ensure the compatibility of the formulation ingredients with cationic surfactants.
because the presence of anionic compounds with cationic softeners can produce precipitates in the wash, or
reduce water solubility and thus increase its absorption in textiles1.

PREPARATION PROCEDURE

Fabric softener

1. Melt cetyl alcohol, stearyl alcohol, glyceryl monostearate, and Ceteareth 12, keeping the temperature between 65°C and
70°C

Heat the water to 65-70°C.

3. Incorporate nonylphenol/lauryl alcohol and benzalkonium chloride (previously mixed) into a water aliquot and bring
to the main aqueous phase.

4. Add the aqueous phase to the oily phase, shaking vigorously for 10-15 seconds and continue shaking until the
temperature is between 35-40°C.

5. Add perfume, coloring* and mix until homogeneous.

Before adding the dye, its solubility in water was tested, and upon confirming it, a quantity of it was dissolved in a
water quota was allocated for its use.

SCALABILITY PROFILE
When scaling up the product, it is essential to ensure temperature control throughout the manufacturing process.
because this is a critical factor in obtaining emulsions, it is suggested to use double-walled tanks or
reactors with heating jackets so that heat is conserved and distributed evenly.

Due to the need for constant agitation during the process, the type of agitator and the scaling should be chosen.
mixing or agitation time. It is suggested that, due to being a product of moderate viscosity, anchor-type agitators be used or
helix-shaped that have been designed for this purpose.
Finally, a pump system and filling equipment must be selected according to the viscosity of the product, speed of
required pumping, product compatibility with the contact surface of the bob, etc.
