Potential of binary mixtures of sodium lauryl sulfoacetate (SLSA) and alkyl polyglucoside (APG10) as oil degreaser

The industry is challenged to replace toxic chemical-based surfactants with environmentally friendly and biodegradable surfactants. In this study, binary mixtures of sodium lauryl sulfoacetate (SLSA) and an alkyl polyglucoside (APG10) in various proportions were investigated for their effectiveness...

In this study, binary mixtures of sodium lauryl sulfoacetate (SLSA) and an alkyl polyglucoside (APG10) in various proportions were investigated for their effectiveness as degreasing agents.

The dispersion tests (with oil:surfactant ratios of 1:2 and 1:3) showed that the oil was fully dispersed at an oil:surfactant ratio of 1:2 i.e., at a concentration of 2500 ppm SLSA and 2000 ppm of a binary solution with a volume ratio of SLSA:APG10 of 75:25. At a ratio of 1:3, the oil was fully dispersed with 2500 ppm of a binary solution with a ratio of SLSA:APG10 of 75:25.
