@mikethairwhihc kit are you using in the photo please?

@ngarayeva001 please will you share with us the synthetic gel makers you prefer. Like @O12 I am also constrained with a Rand/Dollar exchange rate that makes everything 15 times more expensive.

Why use a gum when u have salt? That salt might be too high also

@nagarayeva001 in your opinion is the 5.5ph the absolute top end? My shampoo ends up between 5-6 ph

@Belassi 2 X 6 slaves. Way to go. Sadly we have a very strict labour framework here in ZA. I will end up in jail so quickly my head will spin.

Maybe I am not seeing this. Most of the syn surfactants are liquid already those that’s not liquid (SLS) needs heat ?

That’s also been my experience. I though we did not store it properly

@MarkBroussard reading your post does it mean you only bottle at day 7?

here in ZA they sold 350 000 bottles of caffeine shampoo for this purpose last year.

@Gunther spend most of the day looking for btms but no luck. Can get bhentrimonium chloride easy enough but not the methosulfate. BASF is pushing their dehyquat c4046 but it us hellishly expensive

@Gunther, interesting formula. btms very difficult to get hold of here so i add a bit of an emulsifier in

@MarkBroussard would 5:5:20 surfactant mix work with HS60 being 20?

@Gunther my teacher used 220 liter plastic drums to make shampoo for years and he made it for one of the bigger companies in our country. It took about 3 hours for the water to heat up using a geyser element at the bottom
But 316 SS seems to be the way to go -

@Gunther, reached out to a lab supplier and the following is their oem supplier response “Afternoon Sven
Herewith feedback from our supplier.
Hope this helps
Mpas is the same as centipoise.
Cups measure Centistokes. To convert from centistokes to centipoise, the density of the liquid is required.
Assuming the shampoo is a similar density to water (1) then centipoise and centistokes are equal. 1200 to 3000 is outside the range of all cups.
I suspect the shampoo is thicker than water so I would need to know the density to be sure, but don’t believe a No 4 cup would be suitable for this application. Maybe no cup will be in this range.
Which type of cup is it?
