At NINGBO INNO PHARMCHEM CO.,LTD., we believe that understanding the science behind our ingredients empowers our clients. Sodium Lauryl Ether Sulfate (SLES) 70% is a prime example of chemical innovation driving product performance, particularly in cleaning and personal care applications. As an anionic surfactant, SLES 70% operates on fundamental scientific principles to achieve its remarkable effects.

At its core, SLES 70% is an amphiphilic molecule, meaning it possesses both hydrophilic (water-attracting) and hydrophobic (oil-attracting) parts. This dual nature allows it to effectively reduce the surface tension of water. When introduced into a cleaning solution, the hydrophobic tails of SLES molecules orient towards oil and dirt particles, while the hydrophilic heads remain in the water. This action emulsifies the oils and dirt, lifting them from surfaces and allowing them to be washed away.

The foaming capability of SLES 70% is another key scientific attribute. The surfactant molecules arrange themselves at the air-water interface, stabilizing small air bubbles within the liquid. This creates the rich, luxurious lather that consumers associate with effective cleaning. This foaming action is not merely aesthetic; it contributes to the cleaning process by helping to spread the surfactant over a surface and trap loosened dirt particles.

Moreover, SLES 70% exhibits excellent compatibility with other ingredients commonly found in personal care and cleaning products. Its stability across a range of pH levels and in hard water conditions, thanks to the solubility of its calcium and magnesium salts, makes it a robust choice for formulators. This scientific resilience ensures consistent product performance regardless of water hardness or formulation pH.

For those seeking a skin-friendly SLES shampoo ingredient or a reliable biodegradable SLES for detergent, understanding these scientific underpinnings is crucial. At NINGBO INNO PHARMCHEM CO.,LTD., we supply SLES 70% that embodies these beneficial properties, supporting the development of advanced and effective products.
