  • Surfactant compatibility

    Posted by Joanna_Nguyen on October 30, 2024 at 9:10 pm

    I understand that cationic emulsifiers/thickeners are not compatible with salt. However, I have consulted some products, they have used them together.

    For example: Hydroxyethylacrylate/Sodiumacryloyldimethyltaurate Copolymer, C10-30 alkyl acrylate crosspolymer, Sodium Polyacrylate often appear together with sodium PCA, sodium lactate.

    I have tried many times, but when added to the system, it will become unstable or loose. Is there any difference in their process or is the amount of salt added very little?
