  • certain acidic detergents i.e., with pH below 7
  • benefits such as improved removal of residues from fabrics and associated improvement in whiteness, improved bleachable stain removal, and self-preservation benefits. It is desirable to both the formulator and the consumer that such detergents have desirable viscosities.
  • compositions with viscosities that are too high may be difficult to process or to use; viscosities that are too low may indicate a lack of cleaning power or value to the consumer.
  • many detergents especially those that have high levels of water (e.g., above 60 percent), require the use of thickening agents.
