Soap powder is a powdered form of soap that can be dissolved in water. It contains the ingredients commonly found in liquid soaps – surfactants, aroma chemicals, and coloring agents. To make it, manufacturers blend soap base with additives such as defoamer or anti-redeposition agent to improve its instability from clothes during washing. The surfactant is the key ingredient of soap powder which builds up foam and helps in lifting off the dirt from clothes. It has a cleaning agent, filler/carrier materials that are used to enhance performance by improving solubility and bio-degradability with other ingredients, an antiredeposition agent or defoamer added to prevent redeposit of soil back on fabric surface as well as improve stability during storage & transportation. The choice of carrier affects both foaming ability and wash performance properties like cleansing power, wetting action, etc., Aroma chemicals can be natural or synthetic compounds formed through chemical reactions such as esterification i.e.; fatty acids with alcohols for creating fruity fragrances allowing manufacturers to provide a wide range of fragrances for different applications and target customers.
On the basis of Type, the global soap powder market is segmented into Non-phosphorus & Phosphorus.
Non-phosphorus type of soap powder is a kind of soap that does not contain phosphates. It is also known as phosphate-free, non-phosphate, and low phosphate. Non-phosphorus soap powder is characterized by its superior ability to cleanse the dirt from clothes. It also has a softening effect on the skin and doesn’t dry out or irritate it at all. This type of soap powder is known for containing natural ingredients that are derived from plant sources. Such substances can easily be tolerated by people who have sensitive skin issues and might also help in preventing the development of allergies among children.
Phosphorus-based soap powder is a type of detergent that uses phosphates as chemical ingredients. Phosphate (PO43-)is used in soaps to reduce water hardness and its buildup on clothes, which can damage fabric during washing or leave an unpleasant smell after drying. It also acts as a primary surfactant to remove stains from fabrics like dirt, grease oil, etc. Phosphorus type of soap powder has a high production capacity at a low cost. This is the primary reason for its popularity among laundry detergent manufacturers.
On the basis of Application, the global soap powder market is segmented into Home Use and Commercial Use.
There are a number of different ways in which soap powder is used, depending on the needs and requirements. Commercial use tends to require more than home use as there are many who have sensitive skin so using a non-phosphorus brand would be ideal whereas those with no such issue can get by with either one. Home use refers to the usage of soap powder at home, the main way in which soap powder is used by the home user would be washing clothes and dishes. It's also used to clean the home and wash up after cooking while commercial use is related to any other place like hotels or food establishments where cleanliness and hygiene are a priority.
