TAED

<h2>TAED: The Environmentally Friendly Activator in Modern Bleach and Laundry Detergents</h2>
<p>TAED, also known as Tetraacetylethylendiamin, is an important ingredient
in modern laundry detergents. The additive is a proven and safe
ingredient that first became popular in the 1970s.</p>
<p>TAED is available as a beige crystalline powder that is poorly soluble
in cold water. Therefore, the additive is used as a granulate in solid
and as a suspension in anhydrous cleaning agents.</p>
<h2>TAED Production: Technological Extraction</h2>
<p>TAED is one of the most well-known laundry detergent substances
currently available in wholesale. The TAED production is chemically
obtained through a two-stage process. The substances ethylenediamine and
the acid anhydride acetanhydride are required for the reaction to
produce TAED, which is then treated with activated carbon to achieve a
white-beige color.</p>
<h2>TAED Usage: Application in Cleaning Agents</h2>
<p>TAED is used as an activator in laundry detergents and contributes to
the efficiency of cleaning clothes. Particularly, powdered laundry
detergents very often contain TAED. TAED is particularly effective in
removing stubborn water-based stains, such as red wine or coffee stains.</p>
<p>TAED is also added to brightening bleach detergents as it can achieve a
better bleaching effect. Bleach oxidizes organic color substances that
exist in stains and dirt. To work better and at lower temperatures, they
require activators, which is where TAED is needed.</p>
<p>Due to its excellent properties, TAED can activate laundry and bleach
detergents, even at low temperatures and hard water. This means that
with detergents containing TAED, you can achieve very good results even
under difficult cleaning conditions.</p>
<p>TAED contributes to extending the lifespan of your clothes by protecting
the fibers and preserving the colors. In addition, TAED is also used
with other laundry substances in dishwasher tabs or denture cleaners.</p>
<h2>TAED: Advantages Over Other Laundry Substances</h2>
<p>Unlike other laundry additives that can be irritating to the skin, TAED
is among the well-tolerated additives that do not cause skin
sensitization. The laundry detergent activator is a more environmentally
friendly alternative to other laundry activators since it is
biodegradable and does not leave harmful residues. Thus, the ecological
water pollution is also very low.</p>
<p>Since TAED serves as an activator that allows cleaning and bleaching
agents to work at lower temperatures, energy consumption during washing
is reduced. This is better for the clothes since they can be washed more
gently. As a result, consumers can save electricity and money.</p>
<h2>Conclusion: What makes this additive special</h2>
<p>TAED has proven to be an effective activator and can improve a variety
of cleaning processes without any undesirable effects.
Tetraacetylethylendiamine is an important component of modern washing
and bleaching agents and, due to its good biodegradability and
skin-friendliness, is an efficient and environmentally friendly solution
for cleaning your clothes.</p>
<h2>We provide high-quality additives</h2>
<p>Are you looking for a TAED distributor or interested in one of our other
products? Please feel free to use our inquiry form so that one of our
experienced employees can address your concerns as soon as possible. If
you require a sample, please indicate the desired quantity and
manufacturer. We will promptly contact you to discuss your requirements.</p>
