Application:

SLES is commonly used in daily chemical industries such as liquid detergent, table detergent, shampoo, bath detergent, etc. It is also used in textile, papermaking, leather, machinery, oil extraction and other industries.

Sodium laureth sulfate, an accepted contraction of sodium lauryl ether sulfate (SLES), also known as SLES, is used in many personal care products (soaps, shampoos, toothpaste, etc.) and for industrial uses. SLES is an inexpensive and very effective foaming agent. SLES, sodium lauryl sulfate (SLS), ammonium lauryl sulfate (ALS), and sodium pareth sulfate are surfactants that are used in many cosmetic products for their cleaning and emulsifying properties. It is derived from palm kernel oil or coconut oil. In herbicides, it is used as a surfactant to improve absorption of the herbicidal chemicals and reduces the time the product takes to be rainfast when enough of the herbicidal agent will be absorbed.
