I wonder how they can keep selling this without problems, I mean, phosphated laundry detergent, sure is that it is a good thing for them, and for their customers...but thought the "phosphate ban" was issued even for commercial laundry products...
Surfing the web you could actually find thousands small to medium business throughout the country, selling and or producing detergents, with brands for commercial use that you may easily have never heard before, infact commercial laundries and or kitchens or everything commercial needing cleaning products seem still relies way much in local products and distribuiton, this because they really do not care much of nationwide known brands like indeed is for domestic stuff, they just care to get the stuff and often they look for and call chemicals by their name, ex: an housewife seeks for "Oxy clean", an insider in commercial laundry will seek for "Percarbonate"... same is for dishwashing.
Don't get me wrong, do exist several known brands even for commercial, just think of commercial Tide, Dynamo, All, large powder buckets meant for commercial ... but even true their target are small and semi institutional facilities, like churches, B&B, small family owned motels, inns and communities etc... but large commercial laundries do not usually care of brands...
I recall a thread opened time ago about regional detergents brands... unlike in Italy, in the USA seems there is a more net distinction between commercial and domestic stuff, rarely you'll find something locally produced in a store in the USA, I mean, companies producing detergents won't create an own line of products meant for domestic use to be sold around in said area, for example you find Tide, gain, purex etc... But rarely a packet of the Brand X produced from the detergent factory near there...
In Italy indeed that happens all the time, every small to medium factory that produces detergents for commercial do also usually have a line meant for the domestic destinations, so in the stores (both small family owned or big chains)in a said area/region you will find some detergents that you will never find in another etc...
Then of course there are the big brands you will find nationwide...
So they do not often make stuff branded directly for domestic use with their own brand, and when they does, the brand is just known locally, if they're smaller they may also carry raw materials, semi-finished chemicals for detergent production and finishing in separate locations from other companies, some of them do also produce detergents for private labels and local supermarkets and stores, some are also commissioned to produce powder detergents or semi finished stuff for different companies that are missing an atomization tower for powdered forms of detergents, or equipments for specific processings.
The detergent in first link, says being manufactured from snee chemical based in Harahan LA.

I am also pleased to see they also produce many laundry detergents lemon scented....
For what concerns the oxy additive you mention, even on the Snee website they do not tell any info about, but I do not see why it should be "cut" with soda...
