SLES is a type of anionic surfactant, which helps to reduce the surface tension of liquids, making them easier to mix. This property makes SLES an effective ingredient for cleaning and foaming applications.
This liquid product was especially developed for shampoos, bubble baths and other foaming toiletries. Due to the excellent viscosity building properties, mildness and high foaming characteristics make it particularly valuable in formulating a variety of cosmetic and personal care products.
Compatible with anionic, non-ionic, and amphoteric surfactants. Due to its anionic nature, it is not compatible with cationic surfactants. Sodium Lauryl Ether Sulfate (SLES) is among the highest foaming surfactants commercially available. Continuous stability with pH changes, as well as metal ions and oxidizing agents. The viscosity of this sulphated lauryl ethoxylate is strongly affected by the addition of electrolytes as well as by lauryl alcohol ethoxylates, amides and amphoteric. By using small amounts of these materials, a wide range of viscosity is possible
