Salt curve query
Hi all, first post here although I’ve been an observer for some time.
I’ve got a query on the salt curve when thickening formulations.
Recommendations show having to add up to 2% to thicken solutions.We manufacture commercial detergents.
Recently we have had an issue with our bleach formulation. Its around 12 pH and contains 10% SLES 28% & 10% Sodium Hypochlorite.We are having to add around 50kg of salt per 1000ltrs to get it to thicken, well over the 2%.
My main query is the 2%- is this 2% of the final formulation volume or 2% of the active material?
Any comments would be welcomed.
Thanks
G
