Detergent Analysis


What is Detergent? What are the Types?

Detergents are chemicals that contain surfactants and are used for cleaning. Unlike soaps, detergents can effectively clean even hard water. Detergents have the ability to bring together substances in different phases such as water and oil and perform cleaning by mixing dirt and oil with water.


What are the Types of Detergents?

  • Laundry Detergents: Detergents used against dirt and stains on clothes. Available in powder, liquid and capsule forms.
  • Dishwashing Detergents: Detergents used in dishwashers and hand washing. Fights grease and food debris.
  • Industrial Detergents: Powerful cleaning agents used in factories, hospitals and large-scale enterprises.
  • Home Cleaning Detergents: Multipurpose detergents used for cleaning surfaces, glass, bathrooms, kitchens, etc.
  • Baby Detergents: Gentle clothing cleaners formulated to be gentle on baby skin.


Why Detergent Tests Are Conducted

Detergent testing is carried out to determine whether detergents are effective, safe and meet quality standards. The main objective is to assess the cleaning power of the detergent, its compatibility with water and its effects on the skin. Biodegradability tests are also conducted to minimize environmental damage.


What is Nanolab's Detergent Testing Scope?

Nanolab carries out analysis and testing activities in many fields such as cosmetics. It also serves as an accredited and authorized laboratory for cleaning products.

  • Anionic Active Substance Determination (TS ISO 2271): It is a test to determine the amount of surface active anionic substances in aqueous solutions, it has a direct effect on the cleaning power of detergents.
  • High Molecular Mass Cationic Active Substance Determination (TS EN ISO 2871-1): It is an analysis that tests antistatic and softening properties by determining the amount of cationic active substances with large molecular structure.
  • Low Molecular Mass Cationic Active Substance Determination (TS EN ISO 2871-2): It is a method that evaluates the cleaning and disinfection effect by measuring the concentration of small molecule cationic surfactants.
  • Nonionic Active Substance Determination (ISO 2268): Tests the solubility and wetting power of detergents by determining the presence and amount of non-charged nonionic surfactants.
  • Determination of Free Alkali or Free Acidity (ISO 4314): Measures the concentration of free alkaline or acidic components contained in a detergent to check the effect of the formulation on the skin and its state of equilibrium.
  • Alkalinity Determination (ISO 4315): This analysis, which determines the total amount of alkaline components in water or a solution, is used to measure the pH regulatory capacity of water.
  • Determination of the Amount of Inorganic Sulfates (ISO 8214): Controls inorganic additives in the detergent formulation by determining the amount of sulfate ions in the solution.
  • Total Active Substance Determination (TS 518): It is a test that determines the amount of all surfactants contained in a detergent and shows how effective its cleaning power is.
  • Determination of Inorganic Salts (TS 9676): Tests the physical properties of the product such as hardness and solubility by determining the presence and amount of dissolved inorganic salts in the detergent or solution.
  • Determination of Chloride (TS 54 ISO 457, TS 5155): Assesses the corrosion potential and formulation stability of water or detergent by measuring the amount of chloride ions in a solution.
  • Organic Solvent Residue Determination: By determining the residual amount of organic solvents, it is used to measure the purity level of the detergent and its effects on the environment.
  • Determination of Zeolites: Measures the amount of zeolite in detergents to determine the water softening capacity and cleaning efficiency of the detergent.
  • Determination of the Amount of Water Insoluble Matter (TS 54): Tests the clarity and solubility quality of the product by measuring the amount of insoluble particles in the detergent.
  • Formaldehyde Determination: It is an analysis to evaluate whether the product is safe for health by determining the amount of formaldehyde in a detergent or solution.
  • pH Determination (TS 518, TS 5270, TS 4811, TS 9676): Determination of the acidic or basic character of the product to assess the safety of skin contact and cleaning efficiency.
In our TURKAK accredited laboratories serving in many parts of Turkey, "Detergent Analysis" procedures are carried out on the basis of international standards, test methods and relevant legal regulations.
