Dash's scent....

Ma only used if for a brief time...between the last of the Instant Fels, and just before Bold. I would have been 5-7 years old then. I remember it being "clean," and a little "sharp," but not overwhelmingly perfume-y. I liked it, and I probably would like it again.

Please add me to the "buy" list, but preferably for less than 10 pounds, please.

Tallow is remdered animal fat(usually beef) used for candle and soap making amoung other things. Talc is short for talcum which is the mineral commonly used in some bath and baby powders as it provides a smooth surface to keep sking from chafing. Inhaling too much of the stuff can lead to breathing problems so many doctors now advise mothers to use either corn starch or other based powders, or at least try not to "powder down" baby to such an extent the talcum powder goes flying all over the place. Pity since NOTHING smells as wonderful as a freshly bathed and baby powdered infant.

There is me, going all broody again. *LOL*

Oh as for suds suppression.

My guess would be beef tallow also, as soap and fats work well in supressing suds. Fels soap if made from beef fat and grated Fels does a great job of knocking down suds.

Well Jon we're waiting, it's Wash Monday after all. WHAT IS THE SUDS SUPRESSOR in Dash, salt, sugar, stem-cells, what is it already?????
 
Aww, Jon's being his usual teasing self. I"m ready to SLAP him big time, hmm maybe on both sides. Then he'd dash for sure. I gotta have a talk with Al.
 
Alright Everyone

The suds supressant in DASH:

Most surfactants (read HEAVY DUTY synthetic detergents) can be postively or negatively charged. This class is terrific at cleaning natural fibers ( cotton, hemp, linen, ). They are bad at cleaning animal fibers ( wool, silk). It has long been known neutral surfactants (NonIonic) are what cleans animal fibers best.
It was found at P&G that the heavy duty surfactant in DASH was a great detergent but it sudseds up way too much in a F/L. The discovery was made in 1956 that two compounds put together would knock the suds down yet allow the detergent to work just like it would in a top loader where as Robert knows suds aren't a problem!!

The two ingredients that do this are: HYFAC 431 and UCON 56. And now everyone is saying HUUUH????
HYFAC 431 is nothing more than HYDROGENATED FISH FAT! And UCON 56 is none other than our NONIONIC detergent used on animal fibers. Somehow together they work splendidly and allow the original detergent in DASH ( and TIDE) to still do its work.

They found both work seperately well but TOGETHER they supress suds WAY Off the Charts!!

It seems that these are still available so I am searching for a supply to play with at JTL - JETCONE TESTING LABS.

Will keep you all posted and remember all you devout Catholics to Scrape your plates on Fridays and save the scraps!! We'll need all that fish oil!!

Well I would have never guess Fish Oil, so keep us posted as to when you find all these chemicals and stuff. I can't wait to try out Brand New Vintage Dash!
 
Jon I am amazed that it is fish oil as well, and to think Dash had such a wonderful smell. Thanks so much for all your hard work. Can't wait to get some when you have all the "bugs" worked out and do a load in New Vintage Dash Terry
 
Ummm... Not for nothing, but...

Vintage fish smelling Dash??? This is one cracked Jetcone if he thinks this is going to fly!!! Not in my laundry room!!! Ol' Jon needs to do more vintage research to find the vintage patented formula for vintage scent of original vintage Dash.

Until then, it's grated Fels Naptha for me!
 
Trans Fish Fat??

Ok, that has just put me off "Dash", *LOL*.

According to a post I made from an "Green" website 1970's Dash contained about 49% (not sure if this was by volume or weight) phosphates. One can still purchase STPP, but if you choose to go the "Green" route it is going to get interesting to reformulate using the several chemicals required to to the same work as phosphates.

The added extra....

Well whatever the strange ingredients are, I can't wait to use it so put me on your list Jon! I am hoping my box will come with a dish towel in it-anybody as old as me remember when boxes of soap had prizes in them??
 
Peter: I think when the fish fat gets Hydrogenated the scent goes. But JTL we are working on the perfume formulation now.

I am going for the phosphate version for the internal club use. As to marketing we are aways from there. But there are new compounds being investigated today which are supposed to act like phosphates did.

You are close Launderess the phosphate compound was high on the list after the surfactant. All the formulations are by weight not volume.
