Sodium Laureth Sulfate (SLES) 27 (CAS 68891-38-3)

Sodium lauryl ether sulfate (SLES) is widely used in the production of personal care products and household cleaning products. It is an anionic surfactant, which means it has the ability to reduce surface tension and allow liquids to spread more easily.

One of the main uses of SLES is in shampoos and body washes. This helps create a foaming lather that helps in the cleaning process. It also helps remove dirt and oil from hair and skin, leaving it clean and fresh. SLES is often used in combination with other surfactants to achieve the desired level of foaming and cleaning power.

Another common use for Texapon N 70, sodium lauryl ether sulfate, is in household cleaning products. It is often found in dishwashing liquids, laundry detergents and all-purpose cleaners. Similar to its use in personal care products, SLES helps create a foaming lather that aids in the cleaning process. It also helps dissolve dirt and grease, making it easier to remove from surfaces.

It is also used for industrial purposes such as metal refining, textile processing and paper production. In these cases, SLES helps to emulsify and disperse oils and other substances, making them easier to remove from machines, fabrics and paper fibers.
