Sodium Fatty Alcohol Ether Sulfate (SLES/AES) is a high-performance alkaline anionic surfactant, appearing as a colorless, white, or light yellow viscous liquid. Engineered for superior efficiency, it offers exceptional decontamination, emulsifying, and foaming properties, ensuring high solubility in water and remarkable resistance to hard water environments.
Renowned for its mild cleaning nature, AES is designed to be gentle on the skin while maintaining powerful detergency. It serves as a critical raw material in the formulation of high-quality shampoos, bath lotions, and industrial cleaning agents, providing a perfect balance between cleaning power and dermatological safety.

To avoid the formation of a highly viscous gel, always add the high-active AES product to the specified amount of water while stirring simultaneously. Do not add water directly into the raw material.
It is widely utilized as a primary surfactant in shampoos, bath lotions, and facial cleansers due to its excellent foaming and mild skin profile.
Yes, AES possesses excellent hard water resistance, meaning it maintains its cleaning and foaming properties even in water with high mineral content.
Absolutely. In the textile industry, AES is frequently employed as a high-efficiency wetting agent and cleaning agent to prepare fabrics for dyeing.
The typical pH range for a 1% aqueous solution of our AES is between 6.5 and 9.5, making it suitable for a variety of neutral to slightly alkaline formulations.
AES is generally considered milder than traditional surfactants like SLS, providing effective cleaning without causing significant skin irritation.
