Details:

Sodium laureth sulfate, or sodium lauryl ether sulfate (SLES), is an anionic detergent and surfactant found in many personal care products  (soaps,shampoos, toothpaste etc.). SLES is an inexpensive and very effective foaming agent.SLES, SLS, ALS and sodium pareth sulfate are surfactants that are used in many cosmetic products for their cleansing and emulsifying properties. They behave similarly to soap.



Versatile Applications Across Industries

Lauryl Ether Sulphate is widely utilized in the manufacture of personal care items, such as shampoos and body washes, household cleaning products, and industrial detergents. Its robust foaming and cleaning actions make it a preferred ingredient for both consumer and industrial formulations. The products compatibility with a wide range of surfactants increases its versatility and performance.


Reliable Packaging and Shelf Life

Available in 50 kg and 200 kg HDPE drums, as well as 1000 kg IBC tanks, Lauryl Ether Sulphate ensures secure and convenient handling. Proper storagesealed tightly and protected from direct sunlight and extreme temperaturespreserves its quality for up to 24 months. Reliable packaging helps maintain product stability during distribution and usage.


Environmental and Safety Assurance

SLES is readily biodegradable and recognized for its low environmental impact when used as recommended. Although it is a mild eye and skin irritant, it is classified as non-hazardous for transport by regulatory standards. Always handle with appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) and dispose of waste in accordance with local environmental regulations.

FAQs of Lauryl Ether Sulphate Chemical:


Q: How should Lauryl Ether Sulphate be stored to ensure maximum shelf life?
