Until the 1970s, powder detergents were the accepted standard. The 70s brought liquid detergents to the forefront. They were easier to use, could be diluted on sight, and quickly outdated powders, but not without a price. Sunburst's Solid Revolution, the introduction of solid detergent chemistry, addresses all of the negative attributes of powder and liquid detergents. As this chart shows, solid detergent resolves all of the disadvantages of powders and liquids.

Advantages of Powders Can be up to 100% active Long storage stability Freeze/thaw stability High percentage of ionic components, water conditioners, alkalinity Many combinations possible without interactions Can incorporate bleaches or enzymes Disadvantages of Powders Difficult to dispense Cakes on storage Slow to dissolve in use solution Messy, dusty, hazardous Can't use aqueous surfactants Segregation	Advantages of Liquids Controlled dispensing Immediate solubility Cheaper raw materials Many surfactant choices Available in bulk for large volume users Easy to manufacture Disadvantages of Liquids Maximum concentration 45 percent Requires coupling agents which add cost Requires viscosity modifier Viscosity and dispenser delivery vary with temperature Freeze/thaw stability problems Storage stability Lower possible water conditioning Spills-corrosion, dangerous mixtures Precipitation plugs lines High shipping cost Service of dispensers-tubes maintenance, metering tips, etc.	Advantages of Solids Can be up to 100% active Long storage stability Freeze/thaw stability High percentage of ionic components, water conditioners, alkalinity Many combinations possible without interactions Can incorporate bleaches or enzymes Excellent dispensing Will not segregate Cost effective product formulation Controlled dispensing Many surfactant choices Neat, clean, nonhazardous, can't spill No unnecessary couplers, fillers No viscosity variation with temperature Fewer service calls Low shipping cost
