Shampoo Production: From History to the Modern World

Shampoo is one of the most important and widespread hair-care products in the national and international markets.  The international financial crises of 2008 did damage to many branches of industry worldwide.  Some of them are still  trying to recover to their pre-crisis-levels.  Despite the 2008 crisis, the market for household wares, including shampoo did not suffer and actually has seen steady growth.

Manufacturers have changed their needs and preferences due to the 2008 crisis, but not the average consumer.  Consumer goods such as soap, shampoo and detergent always enjoy a wide popularity regardless of the macroeconomic situation.

The rate of inflation usually affects the salary of ordinary people, but very rarely does it effect their taste.  Additionally, positive tendencies in the home care market are observed every year.  For example, about 40,000 new beauty care products appear on the market each year.

Shampoos became a part of everyday life in the 1960s.  This was due in part to the production of the efficient surface-active substance known in the industry as ethoxylated sodium lauryl sulfate.

Today, the size of the beauty care market is growing by 10% each year.  Given that 90% of the world’s population uses shampoo on a daily basis, demand will continue to increase as the global population increases.

According to the analysts of the Discovery Research Group, the volume of the hair care products market as of 2010 was about 3.3 billion dollars.  The home care market is characterized by import dependence.  More than 80% of the raw materials used for the production of cosmetics and care products is not produced domestically, but is imported from countries all around the world.

Soap and shampoo companies use modern equipment to obtain high-quality and efficient soap mixtures that serve as cleaning agents with no harm to human health.  Additionally, cosmetic product establishments follow the development of the technology market and its latest offers to remain efficient and cost effective.

At production facilities, shampoo is made from chemical components that are thoroughly blended.  Modern shampoo consists of water, surface-active agents, additives, favors and non-organic salts to maintain its viscosity.  The composition of the shampoo surface layer may be compared with biological fuel and chemical mixtures that are becoming more and more popular in the oil products market.  Natural oils and vitamins serve as additives.  That is why the fuel blending systems, used at industrial and energy production facilities can be also used to produce personal care products such as shampoos, soaps and detergents.

These versatile industrial blending units are designed to blend water and various liquid components with active natural and alcohol additives to improve the final product.

The blending equipment, that  was once considered to be an object of luxury even for industrial manufacturers, has now become an integral part of any technological blending process that is connected with liquid blending.

Due to these modern blending units, manufacturers can produce shampoo that is characterized by low power consumption, possibility to perform different technological processes on one unit and trouble-free operation.

A High-Level Task: Blending of Industrial Solutions

The expression: “blending of solutions,” takes us back many years to our high school chemistry class.  The calculation of the mass fraction of the matter, dissolved in a solution; the mass of dissolved matter in a solution; the mass of solution, these are things that seemed to be unnecessary when we were young students.

In today’s modern world, people can buy most anything.  The only question is the price.  Whether you own a small or big enterprise, you should play by the rules of the market and profit from it as much as possible.  No self-respecting businessman will intentionally waste his company’s money.

In speaking about Industrial Solutions, it is safe to assume that they are one of the main raw materials of many industrial production processes.  There exist many ways to blend different solutions for various branches of industry.

GlobeCore has developed one of the most effective and safe methods of blending industrial solutions.  The modern equipment for production and blending of solutions makes the daily work of any company efficient and safe.  Sometimes the standard equipment for the production and blending of construction or industrial solutions does not meet the individual needs of a customer.

That is why GlobeCore always considers the wishes of its customers and offers individual solutions to meet the needs of a particular client.

GlobeCore’s  engineers design equipment that meets the individual needs of the customer and complies with international quality standards and national labor safety regulations.

GlobeCore’s USB blending units are designed to blend liquid components of various industrial solutions.  High-quality assembly and individual design provide for reliable and trouble-free operation of equipment for many years of service.

Maintenance of the USB blending systems does not require specially trained staff since the operating program is set prior to commissioning and does not need reconfiguration one in operation.

The GlobeCore USB line of blending units has shown itself to good advantage, being reliable and long lasting equipment.

BioDiesel Blending

Rates of use of biological raw materials in a fuel sector are achieved by fast turns. Leading positions in production of bioethanol, absolutely are belonged to Brazil and the USA, development of BioDiesel blend fuel solid grows in the different European Union countries.

What is the biofuel? Biofuel — this fuel doesn’t possess a benzol smell and is made from oils as raw materials for which the plants improving a structural and chemical composition of soils serve. Different vegetable oils can be raw materials for receiving the biodiesel: sunflower, rape, soy, palm, coconut, corn, mustard, and also animal’s fat in arbitrary ratio. One of striking examples is the biodiesel. The biodiesel – the fuel of diesel engines allowing favorable changeover to mineral oil product. Rape oil which is base of biodiesel , it is a subject to processing by methanol in a compound with the catalytic agent, finally receive about 90% of diesel biofuel. By means of additives and BioDiesel Blending equipment bring diesel biofuel to a trade quality which responds all international standards. This fuel could be  possible use as independently, and in a compound with diesel fuel in arbitrary ratio.

Essential operation and optimization of BioDiesel Blending systems  is carried out by engineers of the GLOBECORE company. They developed and delivered on a mass production a number of mixing installations under the name “USB” of compounding of fuels and any liquids (from two to five components) in a flow including with components of a phytogenesis and bioethanol. BioDiesel Blending systems are issued in several types as stationary and mobile execution (the mobile can be mounted on trailers and semi-trailers, vans and railway platforms and as any other mobile means). Customer wishes and requirements are considered in case of manufacture depending on necessary compounding and a type of the final product. BioDiesel Blending is capable to make any class of fuel: diesel summer fuel, diesel winter fuel, diesel Arctic fuel, high-octane for Euro-4, Euro-5. The primary and indisputable benefits of technology of receiving compound fuels economic profitability belongs.

Additive Blending

Fuel additive is substance which is added to fuel (to gasoline, kerosene, diesel and so on) for improvement of their properties. Depending on the quality of initial fuel, function, property and efficiency of additives, their combinations in a commodity product are various. The additive content in fuel varies from 2 to 20% depends from the weight. Modern motor fuels made from basic fuel with additive blending process. For gasoline, first of all, additive should increase octane number, and for diesel fuels it will increase cetane number for improvement of flash temperature in the closed crucible and freezing temperatures.

Modern gasoline is very difficult by its hydrocarbonic structure and presence of additives which have various functional properties. Quality of common gasolines is defined by about twenty indicators which fix in the quality passport on each portion of gasoline. Such quality indicators as the induction period or water-soluble acids are most often known only between experts. But octane number of gasoline, well known practically every person. Octane number is so important value that is mentioned in each brand of gasoline. This value characterizes the most important operational property of gasoline – its detonation firmness. One of the most economic ways for increasing of detonation firmness of gasoline is application of the anti-detonation additive. At the concentration in gasoline of the 100-th shares of percent, it is increasing its octane number by 8 or more units. Production of gasoline without uses of anti-detonation additives is 5-7 times more expensive in comparison with production in which such additives are applied.

Additives which are intended in procedure of increasing diesel fuel cetane number, lead to decrease in time of a delay of ignition, increase uniformity and completeness of diesel fuel combustion, soften rigidity of diesel engine operation and facilitate its start process, improve ecological characteristics and decrease fuel consumption.

GlobeCore Blending Company started manufacturing additive blending systems for additive blending in hydrodynamic knot of mixing with additives injection by knots, depending on consumption of a basic component. Depending on requirements of the final product, exist from 2 to 7 additional knots for additives injection in the hydrodynamic mixer. The USB additive blending systems have been delivered worldwide for the period of past ten years. Today there are more than 53 countries, hundreds objects where our installations were supplied. GlobeCore Blending systems can work in any climatic zones, under climatic conditions from -65 C° to +55 C° as independently or in work chain.
