I will

[ravimosai]

Don’t use Aloe pulp made at home, you won’t get the desired result.. You can buy Aloe vera Juice (with or without pulp) , or you can also use Aloe vera extract. if you want I can email the formulation. Free of cost. Ready to help!!

You can use Phenoxyethnaol and Ethylhexylglycerin

 what %?

[ravimosai]

Belassi said:

Sodium benzoate 0.3% and pH <5 and use a chelator, EG: EDTA.

  pH of my product is between 5.5 to 6.5. and yes I am using EDTA

[ravimosai]

Gunther said:

Parabens used below the EU limits
<0.4% methylparaben
<0.14% propylparaben
Almost guaranteed to work, even if they leave the bottle open and some rotten food particles get into it.

   Should I use both?

 0.3% methylparaben and 0.12% propylparaben. 

[ravimosai]

Any advice? Should I use Polysorbate 80 (1-3%) in floor cleaner instead of Lauryl Alcohol Ethoxylate?

[ravimosai]

It is for 5 litre … not for 1 litre

  I am posting this formulation for people who might me interested in looking for Dishwash liquid Formulation. This is tried and tested formula and I make dish wash making using the same formula. 1 liter 

Water :  to 100
Formaldehyde or Sodium benzonate: 10 ml/10 gr
Urea: 25 gram
EDTA: 10 gram
LABSA: 400 gram
NaOH: 50 % soluiton ( adjust the pH to 6-7)
Liquid colour: 1-2 gram
Fragnace : 1 gram
SLES: 400 gram
CDEA: 100 gram
Salt: 60-70 gram (make me less or more depending viscosity you need)

Mix the ingredients as listed. Leave the mixture for 24 hrs. 

Sir please answer following of my queries regarding your formula,
1. What is the expected shelf life of the product? Is there any need to add preservatives?
2. I am going for a small start-up and have arranged all the chemicals listed above, can you pls guide the step by step process in short? No problem if you don’t cuz I have the general idea but to be safe it would be a great help.
3. What is the meaning of Water to 100 cuz I see it everywhere.

Hi Gobel,

1) Shelf life depends on the quality of Ingredients and Utensils you use. If all is good then the Shelf life would be around 18 months. This is for my products that I make.

      2) What exactly you mean by step by step process? 

    3) Water to 100 means:  For example you are making a product of 1 litre.
       When you add all ingredients and it amount to 250 ml.  So What is remaining ml to 1litre? Ans: 750 ml. This 750 ml is the amount of water you need to add. i.e Water to 100 (100%)

 This formulation is working fine .. I get clear Dishwash gel..

How much LABSA did you use (in % of the final formulation?
I’m having trouble getting beyond 10% LABSA, even 15% is borderline cloudy.

  I m sorry Gunther. Now I see what you are saying. My formula is for 5 ltr and not for 1 litre. My bad.   

Gunther,

 I haven’t made it more concentrated, because at this formulation I am getting thicker gel then Vim. 

I will try it to make it with 15% and would tell you, how it goes.

Gunther said:

You’ll need to make lots of tests yourself.

Get some bare black and white tiles
black (or dark colored) to make sure no white residue is left on
white to make sure it doesn’t stain floors (although most floor cleaners have bright colorants, so at least make sure the stain can be easily mop off.

Also, test to make sure no sticky or slippery residues are left.

Thanks..

Here is some information about different glycol ether solvents for use in glass cleaners that might be useful.

  Thanks

Sibech said:

@gunther suggested to use 2-butoxyethan-1-ol (Butyl Cellusolve) have you tried with that?

 Not yet.. trying to find a safe ingredient

[ravimosai]

Sibech said:

@ravimosai Ethylene glycol is ethane-1,2-diol, whereas Butyl Cellusolve is 2-Butoxyethan-1-ol, they are chemically distinct molecules.

Thanks

any safe substitute for it, so that I can add it to glass cleaner formulation? Or can I drop it?

[ravimosai]

Gunther said:

Ethylene glycol is banned and poisonous. Try replacing with butyl cellosolve.

Drop SLES if you already have a glucoside. Less chance of leaving streaks on glass.

IPA is quite low, so it will take forever to dry.

Thanks Gunther

Should I increase IPA to 8%
and gluocside to .04%

Is liquid ammonia 0.5% is enough?

butyl cellosolve is same as Glycol ethers?

[ravimosai]

Gunther said:

IMO Sodium bicarbonate will leave a white residue on floors, when the cleaner evaporates.
Remember floors ain’t rinsed like shampoos and body soaps.

CAPB might leave a slippery or sticky afterfeel.

 Okay. 

 So if I drop CAPB and Bicarbonate then other
ingredients are fine?

[ravimosai]

Gunther said:

Did you try a more concentrated dishwash?
I’m having trouble with neutralized LABSA being cloudy at 15%+ LABSA.

 This formulation is working fine .. I get clear Dishwash gel..

[ravimosai]

Gunther and Ozgirl

  Thanks for the valuable Feedback. 

  Pine Oil is not holding. Hence I am dropping it. Here is any formulation I have worked out on the advice   given by both of you.

  benzalkonium chloride solution 40%:   4.5%
  lauryl alcohol ethoxylate: 6%
  Glucoside: 1.5%
  IPA: 8%
  CAPB: 1%
  EDTA: .2%
  Water to 100%
  Fragnance QS
  Colour QS

  I  have also added EDTA to this formulation. 

  Will it advice able to add Sodium Bi Carbonate around 2% to this formula?

Trying to find out if my floor cleaner formula is right.  Had another formula which didn’t work.

@Chemist77 We manufacture few cosmetic products and personal care products. we buy pure essential oils and extract directly from manufacture so also sell them.
