Why It Matters
Design calls for an enzyme cocktail (protease, amylase, lipase) plus surfactants for cold-water stain removal; where on-point protease/lipase enzymes are unavailable, protein and grease soils can be addressed with surfactants, alkalinity and oxygen bleach
Solution Approach
Design calls for an enzyme cocktail (protease, amylase, lipase) plus surfactants for cold-water stain removal; where on-point protease/lipase enzymes are unavailable, protein and grease soils can be addressed with surfactants, alkalinity and oxygen bleach RawSource supplies the base chemicals that go into these programs. We can help with product selection, grade matching, and sourcing from multiple origins for supply security.
Typical Treatment Workflow
1
System Assessment
Characterize operating conditions—fluid composition, temperature, pressure, flow rates—and benchmark current treatment performance.
2
Chemistry Selection
Match base chemicals to your operating envelope. Factor in compatibility with existing programs, regulatory constraints, and downstream impacts.
3
Dosage & Delivery
Determine optimal treat rates through jar testing or field trials. Configure packaging (drums, totes, ISO tanks) to match consumption and storage logistics.
4
Monitoring & Adjustment
Track KPIs—coupon rates, residuals, separator performance, water quality. Adjust chemistry and dosage as conditions change.
Recommended Chemistries (4)
Sodium Linear Alkylbenzene Sulfonate (LAS)
CAS 68411-30-3
Surfactants
Workhorse anionic for powder laundry detergent globally
Primary anionic detergent; emulsifies and roll-up-removes oily/greasy soils, the working surfactant covering the grease half of the soil load
Full Details
Sodium Lauryl Ether Sulfate (SLES)
CAS 68891-38-3
Surfactants
Cleaning / Degreasing
High-foaming anionic with good hardness tolerance that wets fabric and lifts loosened grease into solution
Full Details
Sodium Perborate MH
CAS 10332-33-9
Acids & Salts
Cleaning / Degreasing
3377 (Sodium perborate monohydrate) · Class Sodium perborate releases hydrogen peroxide in the wash to oxidize bleachable proteinaceous stains (blood, grass, food), the non-enzymatic route to protein-soil removal when no protease is available
Full Details
Sodium Carbonate (Soda Ash)
CAS 497-19-8
Acids & Salts
Water softener and alkaline builder for powder and liquid laundry
Wash-liquor alkalinity that saponifies fatty/greasy soils and peptizes/swells protein films so surfactants can carry them away, the alkaline builder leg backstopping the missing enzymes
Melting Point: 856 °C Boiling Point: Decomposes on heating by CO2 loss Density: 2.54 g/cu cm
