Abstract
The effects of the salting‐out effectiveness of electrolytes and of the salting‐out resistance of surfactants on the physical stability of lamellar phase systems, consisting of sodium dodecylbenzenesulphonate, a co‐surfactant, an electrolyte and water, have been investigated. A correlation was found between (i) the electrolyte concentration necessary to induce salting‐out/phase separation of a micellar solution of the co‐surfactant and (ii) the maximum electrolyte concentration which can be incorporated into a lamellar phase system formed from the co‐surfactant before physical instability is observed. High concentrations of salting‐out electrolyte can be added to lamellar phase systems before instability is observed, when the co‐surfactant has a high resistance against salting‐out effects.

Pharmaceutical compounds may be formulated as the salt form for a variety of reasons, including to increase solubility and dissolution rate as well as to improve the chemical or physical stability. The choice of salt former will influence properties such as solubility and may also have consequences
