Origin and properties of the ingredients:
Zeolite A (sodium aluminium silicate), the softener’s main ingredient, is made from the raw materials sodium silicate and sodium aluminate which are easily accessible. This silicate works according to the principle of the ion exchange device, i.e. trapping the calcium and magnesium ions the cause of hard water, thus producing soft water for washing with soap detergents. Soda (sodium carbonate) manufactured from calcium and common salt, reacts chemically with the limescale in the water, thus eliminating from the washing water one of the causes of its hardness. Citrate, the salt of citric acid, obtained by fermenting sugar-containing by-products such as molasses, binds limestone particularly at low temperatures
