Sodium Laureth Sulphate (SLES) Supplier in Malaysia
- Also known as
- SLES
- Sodium Laureth Sulfate
- Sodium Lauryl Ether Sulphate
- Sodium Lauryl Ether Sulfate
Sodium laureth sulphate is an anionic surfactant supplied to personal care, detergent and industrial formulators in Malaysia. Commonly abbreviated SLES, it is also called sodium lauryl ether sulphate and is selected for cleansing, wetting and foam in water-based formulations.
SLES 70 is the principal commercial terminology, referring to a concentrated grade with typically about 70% active matter. It is commonly described as a viscous paste or liquid, with the exact appearance and specification confirmed against the grade offered.
Typical applications include shampoos, body washes, hand washes, dishwashing liquids, laundry liquids, general-purpose cleaners, vehicle-care products and formulated industrial cleaners. The suitable grade depends on the formulation, processing method and required specification.
SLES is strictly distinct from SLS, or sodium lauryl sulphate. Send the required grade, active-matter specification, quantity, application and delivery location with your enquiry; availability, packing and documentation are confirmed with the quotation.
