The chemical composition of dishwasher capsules mainly includes the following categories:
1. Active ingredients:
- Sodium carbonate (Na₂CO₃) : Also known as soda, it is an alkaline substance that plays an important role in dishwashing powder. Its content usually accounts for a large proportion, and its main role is to help emulsify and disperse oil and dirt.
- Sodium citrate: As a chelating agent, it can chelate calcium and magnesium ions in water, prevent the formation of difficult to dissolve precipitates, so as to keep the tableware clean.
- Sodium percarbonate: This is an oxidizing agent, mainly used to decompose colored dirt, and has a sterilization effect.
2. Enzyme preparation:
- Protease and amylase are common components of enzyme preparations. They can catalyze the breakdown of proteins into amino acids or peptides, helping to remove hard-to-clean residues on tableware, such as meat, eggs and milk and other adhesion substances.
3. Surfactants:
Non-ionic surfactants are common ingredients in dishwasher detergents, which have good water solubility and can be completely dissolved without residue even in cold water. It can effectively emulsify and decompose various residual dirt on tableware.
These chemicals have been carefully selected and proportioned to ensure that they will work well under the high temperature and pressure spray of the dishwasher to achieve the best cleaning results. At the same time, these ingredients are also safe, and at the right concentration and use conditions do not pose a risk to human health.
Please note that different brands of dishwasher capsules may contain different chemical compositions or proportions, so you should carefully review the product instructions before use and choose the right product for your needs.
