The only exception was the amido quat that contained an aromatic group (DMB). There was improved compatibility with sodium laureth-3-sulfate when compared to sodium lauryl sulfate. This leads to the conclusion that SLES is a softer anionic than SLES. All quat compounds reached a cloud point when titrated into anionic. However, the amount necessary to reach the haze point were different and the nature of the end point were different. The so-called hard quats have very little tolerance for anionic, forming insoluble precipitates with very little addition. Quaternary compounds having inter- mediate hardness show compatibility with anionic surfactants at near stoichiometric amounts, but do eventually haze. Soft quats do not exhibit a haze, but rather show a clear gel. (B) FOAM HEIGHT AND STABILITY It has been generally assumed that a gel made using an anionic and cationic combination would not foam. An evaluation of the gelled system was therefore undertaken to see if this is true.
