Sodium Lauryl Sulfate
Industrial Applications
Sodium Lauryl Sulfate (SLS) is widely used as a surfactant and detergent in personal care, household, and industrial products. It is commonly incorporated into shampoos, body washes, toothpaste, facial cleansers, and liquid soaps for its foaming and emulsifying properties. Beyond personal care, Sodium Lauryl Sulfate is also used in cleaning agents, laundry detergents, and industrial degreasers due to its ability to solubilize oils and lift dirt effectively.
Physical Properties
Sodium Lauryl Sulfate is a white to off-white crystalline powder or granule that is highly soluble in water. It is an anionic surfactant with strong foaming and wetting properties. Sodium Lauryl Sulfate is stable under a wide range of pH levels and temperatures, making it versatile for formulations in both liquid and solid products. It may cause irritation in sensitive skin at higher concentrations, which is why careful formulation is required.
