Hi,
Just googled LABSA as I’m not familiar with it, and found two things you seem to disregard in your formula: 1. “Incompatible with bases, metals, and oxidizing agents.”, and 2. “The recommended dosage of LABSA 96% in household detergents is <strong style=”font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; color: var(-bb-body-text-color);”>5.0%-25.0%.”.

I think the first comment about the compatibility is for storage (since it’s an acid). But when you use it in a product, you need to neutralize it with a base to make a functional surfactant.

Thank you for pointing that out: I admit I didn’t think about storage.

Oops, the right phrase is “The recommended dosage of LABSA 96% in household detergents is 5.0%-25.0%.”.

Try your formula without STPP or NaCl. Sulfonates don’t like electrolytes very much.
-
or chelating agent, should i use 2Na EDTA or 4NA EDTA? please also suggest percentage

I’d test your base first without STPP or NaCl. You have quite some LABSA so you need toncheck first if it’s stable on its own. If it’s not, you need to replace part of it by SLES…or use a hydrotrope like SXS.
