  Posted by EDWIN87 on July 16, 2019 at 1:23 pm

  Hi All

  Good day!!

  I’m newbie, I’ve create my own dishwasher 20 liter with list below, I’m not satisfy with the viscosity(Thickness) as well as sharpness. May need your’ll advise or suggestion. as I know if there are over Sodium Chloride it may become water like. (based on Salt curve)

  SLES N70-1Kg
  CDE-150gram
  LABSA-300gram
  Soda Ash-200gram
  Sodium chloride-500gram
  Sodium Benz-15gram
  Lime Fragrance- 5ml
  Color- 1 teaspoon
  
  Would wish to have a thicker and strong dishwasher. Should any of the chemical have to reduces or added? thanks for the advice.

  Thanks
  Edwin

  That’s just 3.5% active SLES and 1.5% LABSA
  it will be very hard to thicken this formula.

  You’d need more LABSA , SLES or both
  and try to avoid salt, it just sharply rises cloud point.

  You can find better formulas in this board by using the search function
  And don’t try to make all the 20 liters at once. Start with 0.5-1 liter to see how the formula turns out.

  Thanks Gunther. Appreciated your reply.

  Means that I’ve to reduce sodium Chloride? and increasing LABSA and N70.
  will try that on 1 liter and see how it turn out. I think i might become strong but not sure it will be thickener than before.

  Why soda Ash in this formula. I think NAOH will work better than soda ash.

  Soda ash is better suited for DIYers since it avoids the risk of using NaOH.
  For large scale production, Soda ash will cause lots of bubbles which will need a large tank with an extra space, and may take days to bust.
