  • Perfume addition in dishwash formulation- viscosity drop

    Posted by ganeshjanakan on July 29, 2020 at 4:34 pm

    I am making manual dishwash liquid as follows for a 1000 ml batch
    8% labsa nuetralised by caustic soda
    20% of SLES(28%), 12g salt, perfume 1ml, color, 1 g citric acid
    After addition of salt the thickening is excellent. On addition of perfume the viscosity crashes by 50%. I tried various perfumes and the result is that the viscosity crashing varies.between 25% to 60%.

    Your fragrance likely has a nonylphenol ethoxylate as solvent-carrier. Crashes viscosity all the time.
