    Why do you want such an alkaline pH?

    Let’s hope it’s for an industrial formula.
    It will be too dangerous for household use.

    You may get better foaming and stability using SLS.

    Well why don’t you just try it instead of bothering us? It’s not exactly a big experiment.

    @em88 sometimes strange things never take off if the basics are missing?

    I can say, it is stable up to pH 11.5. One of our suppliers provides SLES at pH up to 11.5
