Automatic Dishwasher Gel Formulation – Manufacturing Tech Pack

The Glassware Guardian: Automatic Dishwasher Gel

No Residue. Instant Solubility. Superior Glass Protection.

Tablets and powders have a weakness: they are abrasive. Over time, they can scratch delicate glassware and fade the patterns on fine china. Furthermore, in the era of 30-minute “Speed Cycles,” solid detergents often fail to dissolve completely.

Our Automatic Dishwasher Gel Formulation is the modern solution for speed and safety.

This is a Non-Abrasive, All-Liquid formulation. Because it contains no solid particles, it cleans purely through chemical action (Enzymes + Solvents), ensuring that plates and glasses retain their shine without micro-scratches. It is engineered to release its cleaning power the second it hits the water.

The Science of “Thixotropic” Gel

Manufacturing a gel requires mastering viscosity. It must be thick in the bottle but fluid in the machine.

• Smart Rheology: We utilize a specific polymeric thickener system (like Polyacrylates or Xanthan Gum) that gives the product a “Shear Thinning” property. It squeezes out of the bottle easily but clings to the detergent cup without dripping.

• Enzyme Stability in Liquid: Enzymes naturally degrade in water. This Tech Pack includes the critical Boron/Polyol Stabilization System to keep the Protease and Amylase active on the shelf for up to 2 years.

• Chlorine-Free: Unlike old-school gels that smelled of bleach, this is a modern Enzyme-based formula. It attacks food proteins and starches effectively without the harsh chlorine odor.

Commercial Advantages

• The “Speed Cycle” Hero: This is your strongest marketing point. While tablet users complain of undissolved chunks in short cycles, your Gel works perfectly in cool, quick washes.

• Dosage Flexibility: Like powder, the user controls the amount. But unlike powder, there is no risk of caking or spilling.

• Premium Aesthetics: Can be formulated as a clear gel, a dual-phase product, or a vibrant opaque liquid (e.g., Lemon Yellow or Ocean Blue) to stand out on the shelf.
