@chemicalmatt Hi, see you again. I’ve tried using HPMC for floor mop soap.
Here is my formula :
1. Sodium metasilicate pentahydrate 5%
2. CDEA 6%
3. STPP 5%
4. NaOH 1.5%
5. Phenoxyethanol 0,5%
6. Fragrance 2%
7. Propylene Glycol 2%
8. Dipropylene Glycol 2%
9. HPMC 0,5%
10. Demineralized water 94%I use 50% of the total demineralized water to thicken my HPMC
and dissolve the other ingredients using the rest of demineralized water, after that I mix the HPMC solution with my soap solution, and I got homogenous and thick soap.
But after leaver it for several hours, my soap solution start to parted into two phase
What should I do to dissolve HPMC correctly? Are there something wrong with my formula? Feel free to correct and criticize me if I make mistake. I want to learn from you guys -
@ketchito Thank you for your advice. What if the soap solution condition is already alkaline? because my soap solution is alkaline, and at 10 or 15 minutes after dissolving HEC, the solution start to have some thickness and homogenous. But after leave it for several hours the solution start to parted into two phases.
