Evaluasi Kadar Fosfat pada Deterjen Serbuk di Kota Jakarta Sesuai SNI 4594:2017/Amd.1:2020

Abstract

Along with the use of clothing cleaning products in households and in the laundry business, it has an unfavorable environmental impact, especially on surface water. Powdered detergent is the product that is most widely used by the community because of its affordable price, but has a phosphate content that can trigger uncontrolled algae growth which can cover the surface of the water if used excessively. Phosphate levels in powdered detergents are often considered a dangerous source of water pollution. In this case, SNI plays an important role in regulating the quality of a product so that it is safe when used. Therefore, this study aims to determine the levels of phosphate in powder detergents circulating in the market and evaluate them according to SNI powder detergents. The research was conducted by analyzing and evaluating phosphate levels in 30 powder detergents of various brands based on SNI 4594:2017/Amd.1:2020. The results showed that the phosphate levels for all test products had met the quality requirements according to the SNI with 0.18 – 4.54 %w/w. This research reveals that the application of SNI powder detergent has been carried out by powder detergent companies.
