Sodium Lauryl Ether Sulfate (SLES)

Sodium Lauryl Ether Sulfate (SLES) - High-Performance Surfactant

Sodium Lauryl Ether Sulfate (SLES) is a highly efficient, versatile anionic surfactant widely used in both industrial and consumer products. Known for its exceptional foaming, emulsifying, and cleansing abilities, SLES is a crucial ingredient in a range of applications from personal care to industrial cleaning solutions.

Key Benefits of SLES

The ethoxylation process makes SLES gentler on the skin compared to Sodium Lauryl Sulfate (SLS).

Effective Emulsifier

Helps blend oil and water phases in formulations, ensuring product stability.

High Cleaning Power

Effectively removes dirt, grease, and oils from surfaces.

Biodegradable

Environmentally friendly with a high degree of biodegradability, making it a sustainable choice.

Low Irritation

Due to its milder formulation, SLES is commonly used in products designed for sensitive skin.

Is SLES safe to use in personal care and household cleaning products?

Yes, SLES is widely regarded as safe for use in personal care, household, and industrial products. It has been used globally in a variety of applications due to its mildness, effectiveness, and biodegradability. However, like all surfactants, it should be used at recommended concentrations, and in case of prolonged contact or exposure, personal protective equipment (PPE) should be worn, especially in industrial settings.

What is the shelf life of SLES, and how should it be stored?

The shelf life of our SLES is 12 months if stored properly in its original packaging. It should be stored in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, and the containers should remain tightly sealed when not in use to prevent contamination or moisture absorption. We provide storage recommendations with each shipment to ensure the longevity and stability of the product during transport and storage.

How do you ensure that SLES is environmentally friendly?

SLES is biodegradable, meaning it breaks down naturally without causing long-term harm to the environment. We prioritize sustainability in our manufacturing processes and comply with environmental regulations, including RoHS and REACH standards. Additionally, our SLES is produced in a way that minimizes environmental impact, and we offer support to help manufacturers formulate eco-friendly products that meet consumer demand for greener alternatives.

What is the minimum order quantity (MOQ) for SLES, and do you offer samples?

Our minimum order quantity (MOQ) for SLES is typically 1 ton, though we can adjust this depending on the size and needs of your business. Yes, we do offer samples to potential buyers for testing and formulation purposes before placing a bulk order. Contact us directly to arrange for sample shipments and further discussions on order quantities.
