The Role of Salt in Viscosity Control of Liquid Detergent Formulations
Salt is one of the most important components of liquid detergent formulations, used as a cheap thickener to increase viscosity and regulate consistency. This is because salt ions (e.g. Na and Cl) interact with the hydrophilic headgroups of surfactant molecules, causing them to adhere more tightly to each other. As a result, the interaction between the surfactant molecules increases and a denser micellar network is formed, resulting in higher viscosity.
