Nonionic surfactants do not have an electrical charge. Because of this, they tend to be less seriously affected by water hardness. In general, they are low foaming and are especially useful in products that are designed to require little rinsing. Given the surfactant chemistry, our Liquid Laundry Compound contains both ionic and nonionic surfactants which make this product an excellent laundry detergent. Our Built Laundry Detergent also contains surfactants plus alkalis and other water conditioners.
Builders follow surfactants in importance.
