Sodium Lauryl Ether Sulfate (SLES 70%) is a high-performance anionic surfactant renowned for its exceptional cleaning, emulsifying, and foaming properties. As a versatile chemical agent with high biodegradability and low irritation to the skin and eyes, SLES serves as a critical component in the formulation of personal care and industrial cleaning products, ensuring superior solubility and stability even in hard water environments.
Produced through the ethoxylation of dodecyl alcohol derived from palm kernel or coconut oil, our SLES 70% provides a concentrated, viscous paste that is compatible with a wide range of surfactants. It is an essential choice for manufacturers seeking to optimize the balance between powerful degreasing capabilities and gentle skin compatibility in their final product offerings.

Engineered for low irritation to the skin and eyes, making it ideal for baby shampoos and facial cleansers.
Eco-friendly chemical structure that breaks down naturally, reducing environmental impact in wastewater.
Maintains excellent foaming and cleaning efficiency even in regions with high mineral water content.
Easily blends with other surfactants and additives to create stable, high-quality chemical emulsions.
Produces a rich, dense lather that enhances the user experience in soaps and bubble baths.
Replacing LAS with SLES can reduce phosphate requirements and lower overall active matter dosage.
Rigorous batch testing for active matter and purity to ensure consistent industrial performance.
Optimized sourcing of coconut and palm oil derivatives for sustainable production cycles.
Strict adherence to global chemical safety standards and environmental regulations.
Expert guidance on SLES concentration and blending for various detergent applications.
Professional drum packaging and moisture-proof shipping to prevent product degradation.
Continuous improvement of ethoxylation processes to reduce 1,4-Dioxane levels.
| Performance Metric | Standard LAS | Premium SLES 70% |
|---|---|---|
| Skin Irritation | Moderate/High | Low/Gentle |
| Hard Water Stability | Low | Excellent |
| Biodegradability | Average | Very High |
| Phosphate Need | High | Reduced/Low |
| Foaming Density | Standard | Superior/Creamy |
SLES 70% is widely used in liquid detergents including dishwashing liquids, shampoos, bubble baths, and hand cleaners due to its excellent foaming and solvency.
Using SLES to replace Linear Alkylbenzene Sulfonate (LAS) can save or reduce the need for phosphates and often reduces the overall required dosage of active matter.
Yes, beyond detergents, it is used in textile, printing, dyeing, and leather industries as a lubricant, dyeing agent, cleaner, and degreasing agent.
The 70% refers to the active matter concentration, meaning it is a concentrated paste that reduces shipping costs and storage space compared to diluted versions.
Our SLES is produced via the ethoxylation of dodecyl alcohol, which is industrially prepared from renewable resources like palm kernel oil or coconut oil.
Typically, the product has a shelf life of 2 years (as seen in our batch data). It should be stored in a cool, dry place in original sealed drums.
