Sodium Coco Fatty Alcohol Sulfate (CFAS)

Yeah I was thinking about EDTA and SMS  but it would bump the PH really high. Also with NaOH in the solution. Is it ok even if the PH goes off the roof since dilution will just bring it back down? I’m concerned that if I raise the PH too much, the cleaning power of some of the surfactants might weaken.

Well you can say a separate product. I’m just lazy to do research and reformulate so thought of starting with the formula I currently have lol. If it fails then I guess I should start from scratch.

Hi ozgirl. Thanks for the reply.

I have this dishsoap and would like to convert it to some sort of acid washer to be used on some of our hard surfaces at the yard.

SLES 10%
CFAS 6%
LABSA 3%
NP10 2%
NaOH 0.8%
NaCl 1.5%

How can i keep this alkaline once diluted? Preferably PH10 at least.

Yup that’s what I did.

Hi Letsalcido. Thank you for this. It helps a lot.

Just a bit of background, I’m into the DIY hobby of  making my own household cleaning solutions. Dishwashing and liquid detergent to be specific. It now makes sense why the neutralization is required.

I did try it twice but I’m getting that white pasty solution after adding NaOH. Will experiment further.

Thanks again!
