Writing Assignment #1
1. The cleaning product I chose to research is Windex, the original glass cleaner. SC Johnson manufactures Windex. To contact SC Johnson, their phone number is 1.800.494.4855, and their address is 1525 Howe Street Racine, WI 53403.
2. Five ingredients in Windex include: Isopropyl Alcohol, 2 –hexoxyethanol, Ammonium Hydroxide, Mirapol Surf S-210, and Videt EGM
3. -Isopropyl Alcohol: Enables the delivery of the product to a surface.
-2 – Hexoxyethanol: Breaks down dirt and deposits. It loosens dirt particles from the surfaces they are attached to, so they can be rinsed away.
-Ammonium Hydroxide: Breaks down dirt and deposits.
-Miraprol Surf S-210: Breaks down dirt and deposits.
-Videt EGM: Breaks down dirt and deposits.
4. - Isopropyl Alcohol is primarily produced by combining water and propene in a hydration reaction. Another way isopropyl alcohol is produced is by hydrogenating acetone. Its main uses include being used as a solvent and as a cleaning agent.
-2 – Hexoxyethanol: 2- Hexoxyethanol is produced by the reaction of ethylene oxide with 1 hexanol. The product is isolated from the reaction mixed by vacuum distillation. Uses for 2 – Hexoxyethanol only pertain to cleaning products.
-Ammonium Hydroxide: Ammonium hydroxide is simply a solution of ammonia in water. Ammonium hydroxide has many other uses other than being used as a cleaning agent. For example, in furniture, ammonium hydroxide is used to stain or color wood. In food production, ammonium hydroxide is used as an acidity regulator. Also, ammonium hydroxide is used in the tobacco industry to provide flavor.
-Miraprol Surf S-210: Miraprol surf S-210 is an aqueous solution of an acrylic base polymer. It uses are only pertained to cleaning agents.
-Videt EGM: Videt EGM is naturally derived polymer. Videt EGM applications include surface and glass cleaners.
