Stpp detergent

Listing ID #3679582

Why is STPP important? Well, after WWII, synthetic detergents gradually replaced natural soap products for use in washing machines. The detergents had the advantage of using surfactants, or sudsing agents, that were not as liable to being inactivated by hard water mineral ions as soaps were. However, surfactants are only a fraction of the mixture we call a laundry detergent. To replace other actions of a natural soap, compounds known as “builders” are added to detergent formulations.
