This <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Shampoo\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">hair cleansing product<\/a> comes in conventional and natural cosmetic versions. The pH value is usually slightly acidic to neutral, at around 5 to 7. Water and surfactants are almost always included. Depending on the formula, there are also:<\/p><ul class=\"svt-tags\"><li>Co-surfactants<\/li><li>Complexing agents<\/li><li>Film formers<\/li><li>Preservatives<\/li><li>Perfume oils<\/li><li>Dyes<\/li><li>Buffers<\/li><li>UV absorbers<\/li><\/ul><h2>Incorporating surfactants without lumps<\/h2><p>Modern agitators combine water and surfactants such as ether sulphate in a hot-cold process at room temperature, directly in the shear gap of the homogeniser. As a result, the ether sulphate does not touch water beforehand in an undissolved state. Otherwise, gel lumps form that are hard to dissolve.<\/p><h2>Requirements for the plant<\/h2><ul class=\"svt-checks\"><li>Combining water and surfactants directly in the shear gap<\/li><li>pH control during production<\/li><li>A pressure and vacuum-proof design so that no foam forms<\/li><li>An integrated <a href=\"\/cip-sip-systems\/?lang=en\">CIP system<\/a> for short cleaning times<\/li><li>Batch operation or continuous production with pumps and inline homogenisers, see <a href=\"\/homogenisation\/?lang=en\">homogenisation<\/a><\/li><\/ul><p class=\"svt-knote\">Similar plants are also suitable for <a href=\"\/hair-conditioner\/?lang=en\">hair conditioner<\/a> and <a href=\"\/shower-gels\/?lang=en\">shower gels<\/a>.
