  • How to easily get SLS out of a drum

    Hello,

    What are some easy ways to get SLS 70% out of drums? I find that the thickness of the product makes it hard to gravity pour out and even pump.

    Would anyone have any suggestions of what to do here? How do the large companies do this? (I’m assuming they have some special machinery to quickly get it out?)

    @Dan Indeed, they use special equipment to do that. You could alternatively heat the drumm a bit, or if your formula allows it, mix it with some Ethanol (in wich SLES is very soluble).
