Galaxy ALS is an anionic surfactant. It has excellent foaming power and detergency property. It can be used with other anionic, non-ionic or amphoteric surfactants. However, due to its anionic character, it should not be used with cationic components like cationic surfactants, cationic dyes, etc. It shows very good viscosity response when used in combination with alkanolamides and amphoterics. Galaxy ALS should not be used in alkaline pH as it will give off ammonia odor.
