Sodium Lauryl Ether Sulfate (SLES-1EO)
Description
Sodium Lauryl Ether Sulfate (SLES-1EO) is a high-activity anionic surfactant derived from natural fatty alcohols with one mole of ethylene oxide. It is known for its low color, low odor, and excellent foaming properties, making it highly suitable for use in personal care, household, and industrial cleaning formulations.
SLES-1EO provides outstanding detergency, stable foam formation, and precise viscosity control, ensuring consistent performance in products such as shampoos, hand wash liquids, bubble baths, and surface cleaners.
