Abstract
The physico-chemical property and performance of detergent containing sodium poly (oxyethylene) alkyl ether carboxylate as a surface active agent was studied in terms of the detergent which was composed without sodium tripolyphosphate (STPP). Soap (sodium oleate : sodium stearate : sodium palmitate= 3 : 1 : 1), sodium dodecylbenzenesulfonate, and sodium dodecyl sulfate were used as the other surface active agent to comparison. The detergents were examined for surface tension, foam performance and foam stability, and detergency. As a result, it was suggested that sodium poly (oxyethylene) alkyl ether car-boxylate was more effective as a surface active agent for a detergent which was composed without STPP.
