Making a detergent from Sodium Silicate, LABSA, and tap water requires careful considerations. Here's a basic outline for a simple detergent formulation:
Sodium Silicate: Acts as a builder, softening water and enhancing cleaning power.
LABSA (Linear Alkylbenzene Sulfonate): A surfactant, reducing surface tension to help remove dirt and grease.
Tap Water: Used as the solvent and to dissolve the ingredients.
Steps:
1. Dissolve: Combine Sodium Silicate and LABSA in tap water, slowly adding the powder to avoid clumping.
2. Adjust Consistency: You may need to add more water to achieve the desired viscosity for your detergent.
Important Notes:
This is a basic formulation and may need adjustment based on your desired cleaning properties.
Be sure to wear appropriate safety gear while handling chemicals.
Consult with a chemist or detergent specialist for professional advice.
