  • SLS Powder 95% dilution

    Posted by nabilram on February 11, 2022 at 8:49 am
    Hello everyone,
    I need to dilute SLS 95% powder to 28% solution. The problem i faced is too much foam when adjusting the PH to 5-5.5. Furthermore, it requires a lot of citric acid. In a small lab test it’s feasible but how to go about it in large batches.
    I’m willing to invest in proper equipment if necessary
    Thank you

    Did you use heat at all? why are you adjusting the PH- is this for the final formulation?

    Depends on how large your large batch is, but a jacketed kettle with sweeps and vacuum would likely help.

    yes i used heat. Adjusting the PH is necessary to use it in my shampoo formulation . The initial PH was around 10.
    Batch: 500 kg
