Problems Faced in SLES

Long Process Cycle to Import Chemicals

What is SLES and how is it used?

• SLES (sodium lauryl ether sulfate) is an anionic detergent and surfactant that may be found in a variety of personal care products such as soaps, shampoos, toothpaste, etc. It is a low-cost, high-efficiency foaming agent.
• SLES is made by ethoxylating dodecyl alcohol, which is made at a factory from palm kernel or coconut oil. The resultant ethoxylate is transformed to a sulfuric acid half ester, which is neutralized by converting to the sodium salt.
• Shampoo, Bubble Bath, Shower Gel, Face Wash, Dish Wash, Liquid Detergent, and Hand Wash are just a few of the personal care and home care products that are produced from using SLES.
• It is also utilized as a lubricant, dyeing agent, cleaner, foaming agent, and degreasing agent in the printing and dyeing business, as well as the petroleum and leather industries.
