Inorganic Chemicals Salts CSDS/APSM complex sodium disilicate water softener powder
Appearance: white granular powder
Description:
Due to the environmental protection problems of STPP, detergent industry engineers from all over the world are working on finding a perfect replacement of STPP in detergent system.
Till now many products are developed for this purpose: NTA, Zeolite, SKS-6 and etc.
CSDS is designed to reach the similar performance with SKS-6.
Application:
1), Replacing STPP to make low phosphor and phosphors-free detergent powder;
2), Textile and dyeing industry;
3), Stabilizer of hydrogen peroxide;
4), Industrial cleaning auxiliary;
5), Porcelain industry.
Characteristic:
1), Good capability to soften waterl;
2), Good performance in low-temperature water;
3), Environmental friendly;
4), Strong pH buffering ability;
5), Can be used in different processing methods of detergent powder;
6), Compatible with various surfactants;
7), Compatible with various bleaching agent;
8), Anti-sediment;

2), CSDS can not completely replace STPP due to STPP’s features of:
- Enhancing the emulsifying and dispersing power, to increase the solubility of protein and dust which normally existing in the fabrics from daily life;
- Anti-caking agent for detergent powder. Since detergent powder is easily caking in exposed air, STPP can absorb the moisture and become Hexahydrate, which is dry and free flowing.
3), We normally list 2 years as the shelf life in our COA, the real shelf life is actually much longer than 2 years if it’s stocked in good condition (bags are sealed enough, away from direct sun-light, moisture and other incompatible chemical materials).
