Sodium Laureth Sulfate (SLES 70%)

Formula: C₁₂H₂₅(OCH₂CH₂)ₙOSO₃Na GOST/CAS: CAS 68891-38-3 / 9004-82-4

Sodium Laureth Sulfate (a highly effective anionic surfactant) is a highly concentrated raw material that serves as a key agent for foaming, cleansing, and emulsification in liquid media. The product is a thick, paste-like mass that is excellently soluble in water. Due to its outstanding detergency, hard water tolerance, and high foaming activity, SLES is indispensable in the production of household chemicals, cosmetics, as well as in the textile and construction industries.

Applications

Household Chemicals Production: Serves as the primary surfactant in formulations for liquid detergents, such as laundry gels, dishwashing liquids, car shampoos, and surface cleaners. It ensures rapid removal of grease and oil stains.

Cosmetics Industry: Used as the main foaming agent and cleanser in the production of shampoos, shower gels, liquid soaps, and bubble baths. It blends perfectly with co-surfactants to create mild formulations.

Construction Chemicals: Employed as an effective air-entraining and foaming agent in the production of lightweight concrete (foam concrete), as well as a plasticizing additive in cement mortars to improve workability.

Textile & Leather Industries: Utilized as a wetting and scouring agent in textile scouring, bleaching, and dyeing processes, aiding in the uniform distribution of treatment compounds.

Key Advantages

High Foaming Capacity: Forms an abundant, thick, and stable foam even in hard water, which is critically important for detergents and foam concrete alike.

Excellent Detergency: Effectively emulsifies oils, binds soils, and holds them in solution, preventing redeposition onto fabrics or surfaces.

Stability and Compatibility: Maintains high performance across a wide pH range. It is excellently compatible with other anionic, nonionic, and amphoteric surfactants.

Cost Efficiency and Biodegradability: The high concentration of the active substance (70%) significantly reduces logistics and transport costs. The product features good primary biodegradability.

Storage & Transportation

Store in dry, clean, and well-ventilated warehouses in tightly sealed original packaging, away from heat sources.
Recommended storage temperature range: +15°C to +40°C. At lower temperatures, the product may thicken; homogenization via moderate heating (up to 50°C) is required before use.
Avoid direct sunlight and prolonged contact with air to prevent discoloration or drying of the top layer.
Transportation is permitted by all types of covered transport in compliance with the required temperature regime. The material is not classified as a dangerous good (UN Class 9 is not applicable). Shelf life — 1 year from the date of manufacture.
