Sodium Laureth Sulfate

Product Overview

Sodium Laureth Sulfate, commonly abbreviated as SLES, is a high-performance anionic surfactant widely recognized for its exceptional cleaning, emulsifying, and foaming properties. Chemically defined as Poly(oxy-1,2-ethanediyl)-alpha-sulfo-omega-(dodecyloxy)-sodium salt, this compound is derived from the ethoxylation of lauryl alcohol followed by sulfation and neutralization. Our manufacturing process ensures a product that balances robust detergency with mildness, making it a cornerstone ingredient in modern formulation chemistry.

As a leading global manufacturer, we provide SLES that meets rigorous international standards for purity and safety. The ethoxylation process reduces the potential for skin irritation compared to non-ethoxylated counterparts, while maintaining superior grease removal capabilities. This makes it an ideal choice for manufacturers seeking a reliable drop-in replacement for standard surfactant systems.

Industrial Applications

The versatility of Sodium Laureth Sulfate allows it to serve across multiple sectors. Its ability to lower surface tension effectively makes it indispensable in various cleaning and personal care products. Key application areas include:

• Personal Care Formulations: Widely used in shampoos, body washes, and facial cleansers for rich lather and effective cleansing.
• Home Care Products: Essential component in dishwashing liquids, laundry detergents, and hard surface cleaners.
• Industrial Cleaning: Utilized in textile processing, emulsion polymerization, and specialized degreasing agents.
• Emulsification: Acts as a stable emulsifier in oil-in-water systems for cosmetic and pharmaceutical preparations.

Storage and Handling

To maintain optimal quality and performance, proper storage conditions are required. The product should be kept in a cool, dry location away from direct sunlight and moisture. Containers must remain tightly sealed to prevent contamination or absorption of water, which could affect active matter concentration. When handled according to standard industrial safety guidelines, Sodium Laureth Sulfate presents a stable and safe profile for large-scale manufacturing operations.
