Definition of constitue

(Jay C. Harris and John R. Van Wazer, "Detergent...)

Indeed , when the proper inorganic constituents are employed , practically any wetting or surface-active_agent will do a reasonably good job when present in sufficient amount in a hard surface cleaning formulation .

The importance of the inorganic constituents in hard surface cleaning has been emphasized in a number of papers .

The other constituents in a built detergent assist in this and in the removal of dirty stains and the hydrophilic sticky or dried soils .

It is evident that the requirements imposed by these effects upon any one detergent constituent acting alone are severe .

Upon consideration of the variety of soils and fabrics normally encountered in the washing process , it is little wonder that the use of a number of detergent constituents having `` synergistic '' properties has gained widespread acceptance .
