Detergent Polymers ACR 4500 & RDPOL series
- Work on the concept of threshold inhibition
- Are very efficient as they work at sub stoichiometry levels unlike inorganic builders
- They modify the crystal surfaces (of hardness salts and other salts) and avoids their precipitation by adsorbing on their surfaces
- The adsorption causes distortion of the crystal faces and they have less tendency to adhere to fabric or hard surfaces (in particular glass and dishware).
- The sharp edges of the crystals which otherwise at the micro-level causes roughening of the fabric as well as hard surfaces is now minimized
