Sodium Lauryl Ether Sulphate (SLES) is an anionic surfactant produced by sulfonation and neutralization of fatty alcohol polyoxyethylene ether. It has excellent decontamination, foaming and emulsifying properties and is a core raw material for personal cleaning products. The product is a colorless to light yellow viscous liquid.
For detergent and personal care manufacturers, Sodium Lauryl Ether Sulphate (SLES) is mainly valued for its foam stability, cleaning performance, and compatibility in mixed surfactant systems. It is commonly used in shampoos, liquid soaps, dishwashing liquids, laundry detergents, industrial cleaning products, and textile auxiliary formulations where consistent viscosity and foam performance are important.
Polykem supplies Sodium Lauryl Ether Sulphate as a China SLES supplier, with stable product quality and practical application support for downstream formulators. Our SLES products are available in commonly used specifications such as SLES 70%, making them suitable for bulk purchasing, formulation testing, and regular production needs in daily chemical and cleaning product manufacturing.
