Guest guest Posted September 14, 2006 Report Share Posted September 14, 2006 This was so cool. Gave me a " heck a big " laugh. Go Daddy my hosting company called me this morning in the middle of making lotion bars. He re-called me after I was finished, lowered all my hosting fees, increased my bandwith and web size thingee and then asked me if I had anymore questions... because he was a nice guy and we had had a few laughs while doing all this I decided to be a smart ass (big surprise THERE huh? LOL!) and asked if he had any advice for my lotion bars. Well, he did mistake my question a bit, but he said I should experiment with Turgitol NP9 or NP6, told me that for a good sudsing action I should try sodium Laurel Sulfate. Turns out he had been in the soap making business for over 20 years! Now I'm not quite sure what Turgitol is (he said one only needs a few drops), but it sounds as though it's a sudser (my best guess). Anyone use this stuff? Know what it is? Got an explaination for me? Just shows to go, one never knows whom one is going to run into. -- Cheers!

Guest guest Posted September 14, 2006 Report Share Posted September 14, 2006 I found in a medical Dictionary that Tergitol is what they use for (cattle laxatives) Tergitol A copolymer of polyethylene and polypropylene ether glycol. It is a non-ionic polyol surface-active agent used medically as a fecal softener and in cattle for prevention of bloat. And that just goes to show you that surfactants are good not only at cleaning things, they are good at cleaning things out. Jennifer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
