Products Description
Sodium Lauryl Ether Sulfate (SLES) is an anionic surfactant widely used in personal care, household, and industrial products. Derived from natural coconut or palm kernel oil, SLES is synthesized by ethoxylating lauryl alcohol and then sulfating the resulting ethoxylated alcohol, followed by neutralization with sodium hydroxide. This process creates a water-soluble compound with excellent cleansing and foaming properties, making it a key ingredient for formulations that require effective dirt removal and a rich lather.
Appearance: SLES is typically available as a clear to pale yellow viscous liquid or a white to off-white powder, depending on the grade and concentration.
Purity & Safety: High-purity SLES is odorless or has a faint characteristic smell, and is non-toxic when used as directed. It meets strict international safety and quality standards, ensuring reliable performance in various applications.
Grades & Concentrations: Commercially, SLES is offered in different concentrations (ranging from 25% to 70% active ingredient) and ethoxylation levels (usually 2-3 moles of ethylene oxide per mole of lauryl alcohol), allowing you to choose the perfect fit for your specific formulation needs.
Key Features
Superior Foaming: Generates dense, stable foam even in hard water conditions, providing a luxurious lathering experience in shampoos, body washes, and hand soaps.
Effective Cleansing: Strong anionic properties enable efficient removal of dirt, oil, and grime from surfaces and skin, making it ideal for cleaning products.
Good Compatibility: Blends well with other surfactants, emollients, and additives, allowing for easy formulation customization.
pH Stability: Maintains performance across a wide pH range (pH 5 - 8), ensuring stability in various product formulas.
Biodegradability: SLES is readily biodegradable, aligning with eco-friendly formulation trends and consumer demands for sustainable products.
Advantage
Cost-Effective: A highly efficient surfactant that delivers excellent performance at low usage levels, helping you reduce formulation costs without sacrificing quality.
Versatile Performance: Serves multiple functions as a surfactant, foaming agent, and emulsifier, streamlining your ingredient sourcing and simplifying production processes.
Reliable Sourcing: Derived from renewable plant-based raw materials, ensuring consistent supply and sustainability for your business.
