Suitable Surfactant instead of Alkaline Sulphonic acid(LABSA) for dishwashing formula
Dear All,Please kindly tell me what are the most suitable surfactants can be used instead of Alkaline sulphonic acid (LABSA) for dishwashing liquid with SLES.01) Tergitol ( Np10)02) Lauramine oxide03) Decyl glucoside or if there is any surfactant with high detergency and Non- toxic please advice. -

You can use lauramine oxide for dishwash

Thanks a lot, If I will add 6% Lauramine oxide along with 5% SLES. is it better?

@Isharaperera Why not using LABSA? it is very important ingredient in dishwash liquid
-
@Isharaperera I would consider @Fekher‘s question. If SLES is subbing for LABSA, is your purpose to lower irritation potential? Otherwise why not stick with LABSA? Cheap and effective and no more offensive than Tergitol. I do think lauramine oxide is a great builder as @Andraous suggests, and if you are to use an APG use lauryl or coco glucosides, not decyl. Finally DOSS-70 has been a workhorse anionic for decades in these systems and is inexpensive, readily available. (Disodium Octylsulfosuccinate 70%) Check it out.

1st of all you have to understand LABSA does not mean alkaline sulphonic acid, It means linear alkyl benzene sulphonic acid and it is not alkaline it is acidic . Its pH is 2 to 3 .

Dear All,Thanks a lot for your prompt response . I am trying to develop dishwash with low irritation potential and safe on the body as @chemicalmatt mentioned. I think LABSA has comparatively high irritation than other surfactants. Is it LABSA better than Tergitol ? what would be the best option considering the high detergent power and safe on the body.
