Product Description

Concentrated Cleansing & Foaming Surfactant for Personal Care Formulations

SLES 70% (Sodium Laureth Sulfate) is a highly concentrated anionic surfactant widely used as a primary cleansing and foaming agent in shampoos, hand washes, body washes, shower gels and other cleansing formulations.

With approximately 70% active matter, it provides high surfactant concentration in a relatively small quantity of raw material, making it particularly useful for formulators and manufacturers who want greater flexibility in controlling the water content and active surfactant level of their formulations.

SLES 70% is typically supplied as a thick, viscous paste and can be diluted or incorporated into compatible surfactant systems according to formulation requirements.

Suitable for:
Shampoo • Hand Wash • Body Wash • Shower Gel • Liquid Cleansers • Personal Care Formulations • Cleaning Formulations

Product Specifications

Appearance:
White to off-white or pale yellow highly viscous paste/gel, depending on grade and temperature.

Odour:
Mild characteristic odour.

Solubility:
Soluble/dispersible in water. Because of its high viscosity, controlled dilution and mixing are generally required for efficient incorporation.

Active Matter:
Approximately 70%

Shelf Life:
Typically 24 months from the date of manufacture when stored correctly in its original tightly closed container.

Function:
Primary anionic surfactant • Cleansing agent • Foaming agent

Key Benefits

Approx. 70% Active Matter — Highly concentrated surfactant grade.

Effective Cleansing — Provides strong detergency in appropriately formulated products.

High Foaming — Produces abundant lather in compatible formulations.

Concentrated Format — Allows formulators greater control over water and surfactant levels.

Versatile — Suitable for a wide range of personal-care and cleansing formulations.

Works Well in Surfactant Blends — Can be combined with CAPB and other compatible surfactants to modify the finished product.

Safety Information

For formulation use only.

Do not ingest.

SLES 70% is a highly concentrated surfactant raw material and should not be used directly on skin or hair as a finished product.

Avoid direct contact with eyes. Concentrated surfactant material can cause significant eye irritation.

Use suitable protective gloves and eye protection during handling and formulation.

In case of eye contact, rinse cautiously and thoroughly with clean water and follow the supplier SDS instructions.

Avoid unnecessary prolonged contact with concentrated material.

Avoid generating or inhaling mist.

Clean spills immediately because surfactant material can make floors extremely slippery.

Keep out of reach of children.

Keep the container tightly closed when not in use.

Store in a cool, dry place protected from direct sunlight, excessive heat and incompatible materials.

Product viscosity can vary considerably with storage temperature.

The safety and mildness of a finished cleansing product depend on the complete formulation, active surfactant concentration, pH and intended use.

FAQs

1. What is SLES 70%?
SLES 70% is a concentrated grade of Sodium Laureth Sulfate containing approximately 70% active surfactant matter.

2. What is SLES 70% used for?
It is used as a primary cleansing and foaming surfactant in products such as shampoos, hand washes, body washes and other liquid cleansers.

3. What does 70% mean?
It refers approximately to the active surfactant matter present in the commercial raw material.

4. Is SLES 70% liquid?
It is generally supplied as a very thick viscous paste or gel, rather than the relatively fluid form associated with SLES 28%.

5. Does SLES 70% produce foam?
Yes. SLES is an effective high-foaming anionic surfactant.
