  • How do I get light colour and transparent neutralized LABSA with NaOH

    Posted by oladapo on November 3, 2020 at 5:37 pm
    After diluting my LABSA with water the colour was transparent light brown but upon adding 50%  w/w solution of NaOH for neutralization, the solution turn dark brown.
    Please, what could have gone wrong?

    @oladapo That color is normal, and you’ll see it going away when you add more ingredients during the process.

    I heard something about High Molecular Weight (HMW) Labsa which is used for liquid formulations for clarity and transparency. Try it and let me know.
