Sodium Lauryl Ether Sulfate (SLES)
CAS 68585-34-2
Sodium Lauryl Ether Sulfate (CAS 68585-34-2) is a high-performance anionic surfactant recognized for its superior cleansing, foaming, and emulsifying properties. This versatile ingredient is widely used as the primary surfactant in personal care formulations such as shampoos, shower gels, facial cleansers, and toothpastes, as well as in household cleaning products like laundry detergents, dishwashing liquids, and hard surface cleaners. SLES exhibits excellent water solubility, good compatibility with other formulation ingredients, and relatively low skin irritation compared to traditional sulfate surfactants, making it a preferred choice for both mass-market and premium products. Furthermore, it is readily biodegradable under standard conditions, although its environmental impact should be carefully managed in high-volume applications. With its balanced performance in detergency, foam stability, and cost-effectiveness, SLES remains one of the most indispensable raw materials in the global surfactant industry.
>> Main Uses
Sodium Lauryl Ether Sulfate (SLES, CAS 68585-34-2) is a high-performance anionic surfactant widely used as the primary cleansing and foaming agent in personal care products such as shampoos, shower gels, facial cleansers, toothpastes, and bubble baths, where it effectively removes dirt, sebum, and impurities while generating rich and stable foam. In the household cleaning sector, it serves as a key detergent ingredient in laundry liquids, dishwashing detergents, and hard surface cleaners, providing excellent degreasing, wetting, and emulsifying power to tackle stubborn stains and grime. Beyond these, SLES also finds extensive industrial applications as a wetting agent, leveling agent, and lubricant in textile processing, printing and dyeing, leather degreasing, as well as in emulsion polymerization, agricultural formulations, and metal cleaning, making it one of the most versatile and cost-effective surfactants in the global market.
