sodium hydroxide (caustic soda) liquid foam
« on: March 14, 2015, 06:44:44 AM »
I am in the business of cleaning restaurants and I am seeking some advice on whether or not caustic soda can be made into liquid foam. If yes, how can I get it done? Thanks

Hmmm ... well soaps and detergents are already alkaline generally, maybe you want to add NaOH, stopping before it stops lathering, and seeing if that's enough NaOH for your application.
Hey, I'm not judging.  I just like to shoot straight.  I'm a man of science.

And any detergent should be sufficient right?
