Surffbooster
SurffBooster
Surffbooster is a combination of different types of surfactants i.e Anionic, Nonionic & Amphoteric surfactants specially formulated for Detergents Bars/Powder, Scouring Bars/Powders and Liquid Detergents. Surffbooster is highly soluble in water and are good foam stabilizer and booster in addition to detergency action.
WHAT ARE DETERGENTS?
Broadly speaking Detergents are literally something that takes part in a cleaning process. Now a day the term is commonly used to describe formulated products. Detergents mainly consists of
SURFACTANTS
BUILDERS
FILLERS
ADDITIVES
among the above constituents, the surfactants are heart of detergents which directly involves in the cleaning action. Surfactant is the prime factor for wetting, emulsification, cleaning, foaming, etc.
Surfactants are classified into 4 types namely:-
ANIONIC
CATIONIC
AMPHOTERIC
NON-IONIC
For detergents formulations mainly anionic surfactant namely LABSA (Acid Slurry) is used. Very few manufactures are using AOS (Which is also an anionic surfactant) in combination with LABSA.
Recent research reveals that combination of surfactants perform better than individual surfactant. In developed countries like Japan, Germany, U.S.A., etc… Detergent manufacturers have already commercialized this concept in their products. Likewise considering the wide scope of utility and its advantages, the same concept has been nuclearised for developing Surffbooster by M/s. SREERAMU SURFACTANTS PVT LTD.
Surffbooster has high water solubility and stable over wide pH and possess high degree of tolerance to hard water. It is ideal for the use in heavy duty & light duty detergents because of its desirable unique properties like foam boosting, stabilizing the foam, non-irritant to skin etc. Surffbooster when used in conjunction with the commonly used anionic surfactants such as Linear Alkyl Benzene Sulphonic Acid, it shows synergetic effect and its use in detergents / utensil cleaners is mandatory
WETTING PROPERTY OF SURFACTANTS:-
Time taken for surfactants to wet different types of materials
Higher time taken, lowest wetting property
Dirt removal capacity of various surfactants:-

SLS | 30 |
Control | 30 |
Latherability of various surfactants:-

ECONOMICAL IMPACT:-
Detergents are broadly classified into three types:-
DETERGENT TYPE
SURFACTANT LEVEL
(ACID SLURRY)
PREMIUM
MID RANGE
POPULAR
24%
18%
12%
Partial substitution of Surff booster among above categories as below
DETERGENT TYPE | ACID SLURRY + SURFFBOOSTER |
| 22 + 2 % 16 + 2 % 10 + 2 % |
The combination of Acid slurry and Surffbooster increases whiteness by effective removal of stains/dirt as evidenced from the following experimental data. This combination also resulted in increase in foaming from 130ml to 160ml.
Surffbooster is completely biodegradable and possess excellent lime soap dispersant properties, compatible with cationic, Anionic and non-ionic surfactants with mild germicidal properties. Addition of surffbooster at 2 to 3% levels in detergent formulations contributes significant increase in performance & foaming. As this Surffbooster itself has its own excellent detergency power, primary anionic surfactant levels in the detergents can be reduced. As the surf booster is self lubricant, when it is used in the bar production, the extrusion of bar will be easier and will have smooth finish.

Surffbooster is highly tolerant to hard water, loss of active ingredient i.e. acid slurry is greatly reduced, also prevents the precipitation of Calcium and Magnesium ions in hard water environment. Because of these excellent properties, Surffbooster has made it a natural choice for incorporation into detergent/scouring bar/powder formulations of all kinds.
Surffbooster is used in the following range of products.
Detergent Cake
Detergent Powder
Liquid Detergents / Cleaners
Scoring Bar
Scoring Powder
