Contact SupplierBentonite is used laundry detergents and dishwashing detergents as a suspending and binding agent, as well as a source of alkalinity to help with cleaning.
In detergent production, bentonite is used as a suspending agent to keep the various components of the detergent formulation, such as surfactants, enzymes, and builders, in a stable suspension. Bentonite can help to prevent settling and ensure that the detergent remains evenly distributed throughout the product.
Bentonite is also a source of alkalinity, which is important for cleaning in both laundry and dishwashing detergents. Its high cation exchange capacity allows it to absorb positively charged ions, such as calcium and magnesium, which can interfere with the cleaning process. By removing these ions, bentonite can help to improve the effectiveness of the detergent and prevent buildup on clothing or dishes.
Bentonite can act as a binding agent, helping to hold the detergent particles together and improve their stability during storage and use.
