In the case of bath and hand soaps, detergency must be controlled.

Product of choice is an acid cleaner with good detergency properties used in the following way.

The total cleaning effect of the solution is not solely a function of the detergency characteristics.

The other situation arises in detergency.

Therefore the solubilization plays a minor role in detergency.

They are usually better in performance than QACs but have no detergency.

This balance has an important impact on wetting detergency, foam, solubility, emulsification.

Lightly soiled surfaces may be cleaned directly by an acid cleaner with good detergency properties and rinsed.

Common QACs, normally used in combination with non-ionics to improve detergency, are:

The use of appropriate excipients can also greatly enhance the spectrum, performance and detergency, and prevent deactivation under use conditions.

JASO FD - same as FC with far higher detergency requirement.

These also contribute significantly to the detergency of the product and sometimes are augmented by the organic sequestrants EDTA or sodium gluconate.

JASO FA - original spec established regulating lubricity, detergency, initial torque, exhaust smoke and exhaust system blocking.

JASO FB - increased lubricity, detergency, exhaust smoke and exhaust system blocking requirements over FA.

SCMC is also said to improve overall detergency of a product by assisting in soil suspension and is regarded by some more as a suspension agent than a thickener.

Because of an increased emphasis on pollution reduction and concerns about proper maintenance of engines, the cleansing and detergency properties of various brands of gasoline has become a recurring, even dominating, theme in advertisements.

A commercial in a new campaign for the Sun Oil Company's Sunoco gasoline, by Wells Rich Greene BDDP in New York, boasts about "advanced detergency in every grade."

It can also act as a dilution guide, when the level of foam is related to concentration and as an activity indicator, whereby the formulation is adjusted so that when detergency is exhausted the foam collapses.

The considerations in 3 and 4 frequently result in a much greater multiplicity of surfactants being used in individual baby shampoos than in other shampoos, and the detergency and/or foaming of such products may be compromised thereby.

For two-stroke gasoline engines, the JASO M345 (FA, FB, FC) standard is used, and this refers particularly to low ash, lubricity, detergency, low smoke and exhaust blocking.

Motor oil may be composed of a lubricant base stock only in the case of non-detergent oil, or a lubricant base stock plus additives to improve the oil's detergency, extreme pressure performance, and ability to inhibit corrosion of engine parts.

"We're seeing some of our competitors associate themselves with detergency," said Dan Spada, advertising manager at the United States division of the Mobil Oil Corporation in Fairfax, Va. "So we wanted to reinforce our association with it."

Many claims are made for their disinfectant properties but the results obtained may be more a function of their excellent detergency in removing, rather than destroying, micro-organisms and their recommended method of use in sequence with other cleaning agents followed by a number of rinses.

This is a very simplified response to an entirely complicated technology of "detergence".
