Abstract:

In this paper, the effect of sodium laurate (SL) on the properties of sodium lauroyl glutamate (SLG), such as surface activity, foam, wetting, emulsification, and resistance to hard water, has been systematically investigated. The results showed that the critical micelle concentration (cmc) of SLG was 0.30 mmol/L, and the surface tension at the cmc (γcmc) was 34.95 mN/m. With the increase of SL content, the efficiency of SLG solution in reducing the surface tension was decreased. When the SL content was increased, there was no significant change in the foaming ability and foam stability of SLG solutions. The increase of SL content improved both the emulsification and wettability of SLG, but reduced its water resistance.

Key words: sodium lauroyl glutamate, sodium laurate, surface activity, emulsification properties, wetting properties
