Introduction
This Egyptian Standard 1643/2016, concerning liquid detergents clothing and textiles, is
technically identical with the following European directives:
5.1 The active substance must be determined according to the Egyptian standard No. 6910
referred to in item 2.1.
5.2 PH of the product shall be without dilution from 7 to 10.
5.3 In case of using silicates calculated as silicon dioxide, they shall not exceed 5%.
5.4 In case of using phosphorous calculated as phosphorus oxide, it shall not exceed 10%.
6. Methods of Sampling
A three samples are taken for testing and examining, so that each sample shall not be less
than 500 ml.
6.1 First sample shall be sent to the laboratory for testing.
6.2 Second sample shall be kept at the authority from which it was drawn.
6.3 Third sample shall be kept at the authority that took the samples.
7.Methods of Examination and Testing
7.1 Determination test of the percent of total active substances:
7.1 Determination of the percent of active substance as a soluble substance in alcohol:
1.7.1.1 Used Solutions:
Ethyl alcohol neutralized with phenol phthalene with a concentration of at least 95%.
7.1.1.2 Method:
7.1.1.2.1 2 gm ±0.1 gm of the sample shall be accurately weighed and transferred to a long type
cup.
7.1.1.2.2 100 mm of neutralized ethyl alcohol is added to the sample in the covered cup
and heated on a water bath for 15 minutes with stirring at intervals and then left the
sample for a few minutes until it stabilizes.
7.1.1.2.3 Pure portion of surface alcohol shall be carefully filtered in a weighted Gooch
crucible or by two filter papers, and the substance filted is received in a conical flask with
a capacity of 300 ml of weight.
7.1.1.2.4 25 ml of hot ethyl alcohol 95% shall be added at three times, and the previous
extraction shall be repeated with each time.
7.1.1.2.5 Remaining alcohol shall be evaporated in the deposit and then dissolved in an
amount not exceeding 5 ml of hot distilled water, then 50 ml of neutralized absolute
alcohol shall be added to re-deposition the insoluble substances in the alcohol.
1643/ 2016
7.1.2.2.6 It shall be heated to a boiling point on a water bath, then the deposit shall be
transferred an amount to gooch crucible along with washing with alcohol 95% several
times, and note that if a few centimeters of washing are evaporated on a glass for an hour,
no traces of it should be left, and it is necessary to keep the residue in the crucible wet all
the time to prevent cracking of the sediments produced in the case of incomplete
washing.
7.1.1.2.7 Alcoholic filtrate and the product of the washes shall be collected in a cup, then the
alcohol shall be completely evaporated through a water bath until dry. Then, the dry filtrate shall
be placed in an oven under a temperature of 105 ° C until the weight is stable.
7.1.1.3 Calculation:
𝑊𝑒𝑖𝑔ℎ𝑡 𝑅𝑒𝑚𝑎𝑖𝑛𝑖𝑛𝑔
The percent of soluble substances in alcohol = ×100
𝑆𝑎𝑚𝑝𝑙𝑒 𝑊𝑖𝑔ℎ𝑡
Note:
Soluble substances in alcohol include the active substance and some inorganic
salts. It was found that most of the sodium chloride is existed in the soluble
substance in alcohol. Therefore, in the case of sodium chloride, a correction is
required as follows:
The percent of the active dry substance = A - B.
Whereas:
A) The ratio of soluble substances in alcohol.
B) the ratio of chloride content calculated as sodium chloride in the soluble substance
in alcohol.
7.2 Determination of chlorides ratio by Volhard method:
7.2.1 Method Summary:
Sample shall be dissolved in water; the solution shall be acidified with nitric acid and a
silver nitrate shall be added to the deposit with a slight increase.
Deposit shall be combined by adding nitrobenzene, and then titration of the excess silver
shall be titrated with a solution of potassium thiocyanate. Ferric nitrate is used as an
internal reagent.
7.2.2 Materials Used:
Concentrated nitric acid.
Silver nitrate solution 0.1 N.
1643/ 2016
7.2.5 Calculation:
Percentage of chlorides is calculated based on NaCl.
= 58,46 (Hx N) - (H 1 x N 1) x 100
Where: 1000 × W.
Note:
− Deposit may be filtered instead of collected by nitrobenzene.
− Silver nitrate solution is added up enough to interact with the amount of not less
than 10 ml of potassium thiocyanate solution.
7.3 Determination of anionic substances: (Sodium Salt - Dodecyl Benzene Sulfonate)
7.3.1 Apparatus:
A 22-watt light source consisting of a long filament placed behind a frosted glass panel
gives a homogeneous white light.
7.3.2 Materials:
7.3.2.1 Methylene Blue Solution.
1643/ 2016
100 ml of distilled water shall be added and stirred until dissolved then transferred to a
volumetric 1-liter flask and supplemented to the mark. This standard solution shall be
titrated using a standard solution of alkyl benzene sulfonate.
7.3.2.4 Determination of the solution normality (S. T. A. B).
Using a pipette, take 1 ml of the standard solution, then add 25 ml of methylene blue, 15
ml of chloroform in a 100-ml graduated cylinder, shake the cylinder gently, and add from
the burette about 9 ml of cetyltrimethylammonium bromide in batches with a slight
shaking after each addition. It is noted that the lower layer (chloroform) is bluer than the
top layer (aqueous layer). The addition process shall be carried out carefully drop by drop
with shaking until the blue color is equal in the two layers. This is considered the final
point.
(The titration shall be repeated three times, while the average shall be taken).
7.3.3 Calculation:
Determination of the solution Titration of alkyl benzene x the normality (S. T. A. B).=
volume of alkyl benzene
The volume of the (S. T.A. B)
solution used
Method:
3.5 g of powder in 100 Cup ml shall be weighed accurately and dissolved in water and
transferred to a standard 1 liter flask and supplemented to the mark, and 10 ml of solution
1643/ 2016
shall be withdrawn to a graduated laboratory with a 100 ml cap using a pipette and 25
ml of blue methylene solution shall be added, 15 ml of chloroform.
The titration process shall be carried out using a solution (S. T. A. B) as previously until
the blue color is equal in both levels.
7.3.4 Calculation:
Where:
Product shall be packed in suitable packages that are not affected by its components and
which do not affect it, and the packages shall be valid, sealed and withstanding the
conditions of transport and storage under normal conditions.
9.Labeling
Each package containing the markings stated in the Egyptian Standard No.6910 referred
to in item (2.2) shall be written mainly in Arabic and/or any other foreign language.
