i've never had 10% sds crash out at room temperature.
maybe the vessel or one of your stock solutions is contaminated with a cation that forms a precipitate with sds?

10% SDS in 50% glycerol (i.e. 5x sample buffer) has always crashed out in every batch I've made for the last 15 years. I assume this is why it's hard to buy 5-6x loading buffer with this formulation. Most commercial 5x recipes that I've seen have either less glycerol or less sds.
10% sds in water usually shouldn't crash out, but can on occasion...depends on manufacturer and, as you suggested, probably purity.
Non-issue after a few seconds of microwaving tho.
