    Has anyone tried Calblend SF from Pilot Chemical? It is a sulphate-free blend based on sodium olefin sulfonate. Thickens with electrolytes.

    May be sulfate free but it is not sulfonate free. Is there a arguably important difference between the two, other than marketing departments?

    I have tried the Calblend SF as well as their Calblend ECO. It worked fine. I think it wasn’t used that often again since if I recall it took so much trouble and so much time to get the sample in the first place. They also make several other similar surfactants such as their AOS 40.

    Uh huh. Thanks for that. I’ll see what happens when I try to get some.
