Alkaline silicate surfactant matrix: UnileverRecent Research Landscape

Grease accumulation on dishwasher filters restricts flow and causes mechanical failure, which is mitigated by targeted surfactant-solvent cleaning agents. This prevents manual maintenance cycles and ensures consistent hydraulic pressure during wash cycles.

What technical problems is Unilever addressing in Alkaline silicate surfactant matrix?

Hard water mineral deposition

(9)evidences

Alkaline silicate and surfactant matrices in liquid detergents are primarily designed to prevent scale formation and spotting on surfaces. Mitigating mineral precipitation ensures consistent cleaning efficacy and prevents equipment damage.

Inadequate soil removal efficiency

(3)evidences

Suboptimal cleaning performance on complex organic stains. Improving soil suspension and breakdown increases cleaning efficacy across diverse fabric types.
