Abstract: A method of making an opacified liquid detergent composition is disclosed. The method includes the steps of combining at least one anionic surfactant, a fatty acid, and water to form a mixture having a transparent optical appearance, then adding divalent cations to the mixture, and opacifying the mixture as the divalent cations interact with the fatty acid to form the opacified liquid detergent composition in the absence of a microplastic opacifier. The opacified liquid detergent composition having a turbidity value of greater than about 250 turbidity units (NTUs) measured utilizing a turbidity meter at about 24° C.
Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a polymerizable surfactant with reducibility and a preparation method thereof. The acid anhydride is reacted with a long-chain fatty alcohol to obtain an intermediate of an anhydride monoester, and then the obtained intermediate is reacted with the hydrochloride of dimethylaminohalogenated alkane, and a polymerizable surfactant with reducibility is obtained by post-processing. The polymerizable surfactant can not only play a role as a reactive emulsifier and copolymerize with monomers to obtain a soap-free emulsion, but also form a redox initiation system with peroxide, and conduct redox emulsion polymerization at room temperature.
