    Neutralized Sulfonic acid is pale yellow, not clear
    That’s why colorants are usually added

    To increase viscosity you can
    increase sulfonate concentration
    increase SLES concentration
    or add salt to thicken it.

    Thank you Gunther, 
    we control our problem by increasing SLES and salt.
