Sodium Lauryl Ether Sulphate 70%
Sodium Lauryl Ether Sulphate 70% (SLES 70%) is a highly concentrated anionic surfactant used primarily as a foaming agent, detergent, and emulsifier in personal care products (shampoos, soaps,, bath foams), household cleaning liquids (dish soap, detergents), and industrial applications like textile processing and degreasers due to its excellent cleaning and foaming properties.

Key Uses of SLES 70%:
Personal Care Products: Due to its superior lathering and gentle, yet effective, cleansing capabilities, SLES 70% is widely used in:
Shampoos and hair care products
Body washes, shower gels, and bath foams
Facial cleansers and liquid hand soaps
Toothpaste
Household Cleaning Solutions: It is a core surfactant in:
Dishwashing liquids and liquids for hard surface cleaning
Laundry detergents
Multi-purpose cleaners
Industrial Applications:
Textile and Leather: Used as a wetting agent, cleaner, and in dyeing/printing processes
Degreasers: Industrial and vehicle cleaning agents
Emulsion Polymerization: Acts as an emulsifier
Other: Used in the paint and varnish industry as a penetrating agent, and in the construction industry
Important Considerations:
Dilution: SLES 70% is highly viscous (similar to thick syrup). It is almost always diluted to a lower concentration (e.g., 28%) by manufacturers to make it easier to handle, improve mixing, and reduce skin irritation in final products.
Properties: It is an efficient, cost-effective cleaner, but it is generally less irritating to the skin than Sodium Lauryl Sulfate (SLS), though it still possesses significant degreasing power.
SLES 70% is mostly used in manufucturing shampoo, bubble bath, liquid detergent and other cleansing products
