CAS 68585-34-2 Sodium lauryl polyoxyethylene ether sulfate
Overview
Sodium lauryl polyoxyethylene ether sulfate, commonly known as sodium lauryl ether sulfate (SLES) or sodium laureth sulfate, . Produced as SLES 70% (both SLES 70% liquid and SLES 70% paste) and lower-active solutions such as sodium laureth sulfate 28% 70%, it offers high active content with excellent detergency, wetting and emulsifying performance. this sodium lauryl ether sulfate 70% grade (registered as sodium laureth sulfate CAS 9004-82-4 / sodium lauryl ether sulfate CAS 9004-82-4; SLES 9004-82-4) is especially suitable as a primary anionic in shampoos, body washes and liquid cleansers.
Product Description
CAS 68585-34-2 Sodium lauryl polyoxyethylene ether sulfate
SLES is widely chosen as a SLES surfactant for shampoo, SLES surfactant for body wash and SLES surfactant for liquid soap, and it is also a key ingredient in SLES for household detergents, dishwashing liquids and other cleaning products where stable foam, good viscosity response and cost-effectiveness are required. As a professional SLES supplier and SLES manufacturer, Shandong Yinglang Chemical CO., LTD provides SLES high active content grades tailored for both personal-care and detergent-grade applications, with consistent quality, reliable supply and full documentation (COA/TDS/SDS) to support global customers in cosmetics and household detergent formulations.
