Generally surfactants and CS don't mix well. CS works by maintaining a charge
between the particles so they do not collide and agregate.  Surfactants work a
number of ways, but one of them is to remove the charge, so particles will
aggregate.

Every surfactant I have tried with cs has lead to rapid aggregation and
precipitation.
