I drive tanker trucks, and have hauled 6500 gallon loads of Sodium Laureth Sulphate. On the shipping bills, it is called Texapon. And no matter what you do to try to remove every last bit of it from the tank while unloading, some of the product inevitably remains in the tank. Usually no less than 100 gallons of the stuff. Once I get to our tank wash facility, I'm able to get some of that remaining product from the tank washer crew. Before I even saw this video, I watched several of your other vids, and had already told myself to try some straight SLS. Thanks for answering the question of whether or not it works well or not so well!

Wishing you the Best Harry!! Thank you for all your videos!!

[@scottlowe5590]

Sodium lauryl sulfoacetate (SLSA) is not the same as the sodium lauryl sulfate (SLS) you pointed out on the Suave container. They have similar names and chemistry, but are still quite different chemically. You'll find the SDS is generally a cheaper product.

Hey man thanks for the great vid. Just started looking on how to do my own aircrete and found your channel. Thanks for taking the time to do the comparisons. On another note have you ever considered using a canned foam such as HandiFoam? It's made of polypropylene I think. Not sure how it would do.

[@CaptBill69]

The 7th Generation website has a safety data sheet listing ingredients. 1st was water, then sodium lauryl sulfate 10 -30% as cleaning agent; third down is glycerin listed a foam stabilizer 1 - 3% . food for testing thoughts!

[@TwilightRage2099]

Have you ever tried adding Glycerine to the foaming agents or soaps in any of your tests? If I remember correctly, it should add strength to the walls of the bubbles making them last much longer than usual. Of course that would end up making everything more expensive, but its an interesting experiment.

[@CrackerFL]

Awesome and great info video! I wonder how bad the off gassing from the Drexel is? Thks for making a great point of food grade vs the Drexel. Great tip for using food grade for plant growing vs the Drexel!

[@dennismadigan2023]

Thank you

[@CarlosElPeruacho]

A 40 lb bag of the Sodium Sulfate comes out to about $0.13 per 5 gallon bucket, so depending on volume it would certainly be the most cost effective. I think overall it's hard to beat the pricing on the Sodium Sulfate. One bag making 8 buckets is more per bucket than the jug, but if you only need 8 buckets you'll spend less on the powder. If you need more the 5 lb bag is 35 cents a bucket, and it just gets cheaper from there.

[@walkingwater893]

SLSA is derived from coconut and palm oils. Used in bath bombs and bubble bath. Can be an irritant if inhaled. Good breakdown, Harry!!

[@CaptBill69]

Request: If you might have time: Please consider doing a Drexel vs SLSA sodium lauryl solfoacetate Foam Video/Foam in front of our eyes and how long it lasts. I love to see a video on that. ... bet the effectsof such may make that $40 per 40lbs price go up a bit.

[@jlogajan]

I've seen a lot of discussion about bubble collapse, but that's just the foam before it is mixed with the portland cement. The foam is composed of very little water and foaming agent, very little actual mass. However the portland cement and water mixture is quite a bit more massive. It essentially displaces the foam film around the air bubbles, or at least completely swamps it. So I wonder if testing bubble collapse on foams not yet mixed with the portland cement is meaningful. The cement/water mix may simply overwhelm any contribution of the foaming agent as far as bubble life is concerned.

[@robertrocheville7769]

One of the problems it's the foam continues to separate after it's mixed with the cement. Imagine a low density muffin top that collapses when you stand on it.

I would like to point out that the Dawn dish detergent is different from the 7th generation dish detergent just because the 7th generation contains glycerin which causes the bubbles not to break down so quickly.

[@jimbosander]

can one just use glycerin alone?

[@lancerudy9934]

How do you mix the foam with the cement?

[@kusnezoff8705]

do you still recommend sauve for making foam?

[@TsetsiStoyanova]

You are amazing my friend

[@CaptBill69]

A buddy who did a 12 day dome build workshop (July, Oregon) got me going more on aircrete studying, telling me specifics about aircrete making. He said 7th generation was being used because it contains glycerin for making the foam last/ though domegaia forum often say Drexel is better. What stikes me as a third option for a In Front of our eyes Foam Test: Is get some glycerin (saw many options on Amazon) and add it to SLSA sodium lauryl solfoacetate as third foam vs Drexel vs SLSA sodium lauryl solfoacetate by itself. Maybe looking at wat % amount of glycerin is in 7th Generation Dish Soap may offer best clue on how much to add to SLSA. ... Food for Though, and exploring with you on bringing cost down for a Dome Home Building!

[@Always_Pistachio]

Shampoo/dish soap/shaving cream all us Sodium Lauryl Sulfate as the surfactant (to create the bubbles). Shaving cream uses Stearic Acid to stabilize those nice small, long lasting bubbles (it is also a surfactant). Both can be found online for about $3/pound. People buy this stuff for making their own soap and the like. Glycerin can help stabilize bubbles and is inexpensive too. Here is a formulation for shaving cream containing 5% SLS, 2% SA, and 2% glycerin (weight/volume - as in grams per 100ml final product). If you look at shaving cream ingredients (Gillette, Barbasol) you will note that SA is the main ingredient (unlike the sample formulation link)... www.hallstarbeauty.com/formula/creamy-shaving-foam/

[@deltasquared7777]

ORVUS WA Paste is sodium lauryl sulfate and is a gentle safe non-toxic detergent/soap that has been used for generations both for washing horses, dogs, and delicate fabrics. Because it is an anonic detergent, it can be also used for washing woolens. It is relatively inexpensive and easily found.

[@dustinduke7225]

I am an penny pincher, so this video is perfect. I'm currently gathering materials to start making aircrete - and if drexel is both the best and the cheapest foaming agent, then it seems like a no brainer. Thanks for sharing your thoughts on the subject!

Is there a thickening agent to get aircrete the consistency of troweled cement?

[@workworks4453]

FYI: Sodium Sulfate Anhydrous, Sodium Lauryl Sulfoacetate (SLSA), and Sodium Lauraleth Sulfate (SLES, main ingredient in Suave clarifying) aren't the same chemically. Can you tell me which of these three you actually tested and the results? We can't get the FM-160 in Canada, so I've been looking for a cost effective alternative with similar quality to FM-160, but haven't found anything yet. Any suggestions?

[@clcpakistan4151]

SLS is a famous ingredient in floor stripper.

[@lisamzzetta1488]

Yes but if you're using an SLA product well the powder you need to also get the liquid because it doesn't really dissolve in water very well but it will dissolve in the liquid form and it will make tons of sides because it's a phone booster that's what it is that's what they put in shampoos to make it look more sudsy because people think the more the sides the communities are so that's why they put that in there so if you use those two things together I'm sure that you would get great results

[@deskmark]

Some company did not need an air compressor or a large egg beater. You need to learn about its behavior. You do a normal concrete mixing with the agent and put in the form. When in form a chemicl reaction causes it to rise like dough. It rises more than double in volume. That makes it hard to put the right amount in the form.

[@Guy4UnderDog]

That is probably because they add aluminum powder. It reacts with the alkali in the cement to produce hydrogen. Because of stability issues the AEC is usually autoclaved to prevent degradation. It produces a stronger product than foaming agents.

[@cliveapps7105]

Have you tried pricing the Drexel or other products in larger containers like 5 gal or 50 gal drums, should be much cheaper.

[@CaptBill69]

OPPS! made a mistake confusing Natural Sodium Sulfate Food Grade FCC 99+% Granular Anhydrous Crystals Salt deal on amazon w your mention of SLSA sodium lauryl solfoacetate results. still think adding glycerin in tests is good idea.

[@8Jory]

5L of Palmolive is $4 Canadian. I'm bringing it up because it's main surfactant is triclosan instead of the sodium lauryl sulphate. It has a reputation for being "stubborn" in terms of its stability and clingyness (scientific term I swear...) to surfaces. Once the back yard isn't buried in 2ft of snow I'm hoping to test it out. The local Costco has all kinds of stuff to try out. Here's hoping one works.

[@8Jory]

5L is about 1.3 gallons.

NOTE 2: sodium sulfate anhydrous is used as filler in home laundry detergents, as a fining agent to remove small air bubbles, to defrost windows, and in the Kraft paper process of paper pulping. basically it would seem like it removes bubbles not add.

[@jakedaniels1445]

Have you done any further testing with the glue? What are the amounts you use?

[@DukeStreetBill]

First off, the shampoos are usually designed to foam; but the dish washing liquids, not so much. You might want to test the Suave after you've added a small amount of the anhydrous sodium sulfate. It would be a more foam-dedicated mix, and might match the Drexel, without its toxicity.

[@AircreteHarry]

I was thinking the same thing and flick22601 just told me where to get 50 lb of it.

[@buckleybaker9276]

Have you tried J-lube

[@lisamzzetta1488]

I suggest that you research surfactants they're all different kinds there are some that go together that some that don't go together this it's pretty complicated is all different ones but if you learn them I'm sure you could make a better solution than then that's you can buy anywhere so just research vacant cuz that's what it's affecting is anything that makes foam or bubbles has a surfactant in it unless it's a street so but even then it's not going to produce much bubbles

[@CaptBill69]

Re: Your Looking at the Economics of Various Soaps for Aircrete for when one pursue a big projects like a Dome Home. Your use of SLSA sodium lauryl solfoacetate caught my attention for possible other economical DIY Aircrete Soap Options: I found bulk: Sodium Lauryl Sulfate SLS (not exact same as likely better Solfoacetate SLSA) but the main ingredient in 7th Generation Dish Soap) found 32 lbs for $49 at bulkapothecary.com Total w shipping to Calif. and tax for $84.75 = $2.65 lb If 1 lb of it made eight 5 gallon buckets (like your sodium lauryl solfoacetate SLAS did) x 32 lbs = 256 5 gal buckets = $ 0.34 per 5 gallon bucket or even if it only made half that amount = $0.68 per 5 gal bucket of soap and adding easily available glycerine could stabilize the foam. Pitching ya thoughts on possible further testing I may eventual do myself. You pointing out Drexel makes best foam and is most economical as 4 oz per 5 gallons = $.86 per 5 gal bucket (not counting shipping) But best deal I have found is) ... $145 for 4 w shipping to Calif. from Stone Brothers / $36.25 each makes for $1.13 per 5 gallon bucket of soap. Wondering If a good to great DIY soap recipe might come in someday for below $0.70 per 5 gal bucket?

Has anyone tried to make a shaving cream type foaming solution? Shaving cream is 2-5% Sodium Lauryl Sulfate and 2-5% Stearic Acid (w/v). Both are readily available online for about $3 a pound (people buy for soap making). Using 190gm of each per gallon will make a soln costing $2.50 per gallon to make a shaving cream type foaming solution. If soln is too rich for your foaming machine (shaving cream foam is very dense) you could cut it with water to double to quadruple the volume. Gillette and Barbasol shaving creams do not contain glycerin, BTW. Both use more SA than SLS.

Harry, Im back reviewing because I'm finally actually making a 50 gallon batch of aircrete for an insulation project. Toward the end you talk about the potential health hazards of Drexel 160. The normal use for this product is food farmers mark their fields when seeding, spraying or other ground work where it isn't clear where the last's edge is. Yup, it's used in food production. That doesn't make it safe but it does indicate it is probably at least toward inert or benign.
