Properties & Applications & PackagesInquiry
Sodium Lauryl Ether Sulfate (SLES) is a widely used anionic surfactant in the personal care and cleaning industry. With a 70% concentration, it is a highly potent ingredient that serves various functions in different products.
Product Attributes:
1. Chemical Composition: SLES is derived from the ethoxylation of lauryl alcohol, which gives it its anionic properties. The 70% concentration indicates a high level of active ingredient, making it very effective as a cleaning agent.
2. Solubility: SLES is soluble in water, which allows it to be easily incorporated into aqueous formulations, such as shampoos, shower gels, and liquid detergents.
3. Viscosity: SLES 70% solution will have a relatively high viscosity compared to lower concentrations, which can affect the texture and stability of the final product.
4. Biodegradability: SLES is known to be biodegradable under certain conditions, which makes it a more environmentally friendly option compared to some other surfactants. However, the degree of biodegradability can vary depending on the specific formulation and environmental factors
Applications:
1. Personal Care Products: With its excellent foaming and cleaning properties, SLES 70% is commonly used in personal care products like shampoos, bubble baths, and body washes. It helps to remove dirt and oils from the skin and hair effectively.
2. Household Cleaning: In household cleaning products, SLES can be found in laundry detergents, dishwashing liquids, and all-purpose cleaners. Its ability to lower the surface tension of water allows it to penetrate and remove stains and dirt more efficiently.
3. Industrial Applications: Due to its powerful cleaning capabilities, 70% SLES is also used in industrial settings for cleaning machinery, equipment, and surfaces that may have accumulated heavy dirt or grease.
4. Textile Processing: In the textile industry, SLES can be used as a wetting agent during the dyeing and finishing processes. It helps to ensure even distribution of dyes and improves the texture of the fabric.
