Chemical and Physical properties of SLES

Texapon or Sodium Lauryl Ether Sulfate (SLES) applications

Applications
- One of the important uses of this substance as a detergent is a wide range of products such as creams, lotions, soaps, shampoos, and face cleansers, toothpaste and personal care products.

The advantages of sodium salt

1.It is less PH sensitive.
2.The synthesis of sodium salt is cost-effective.
3.The foaming property of sodium salts is stronger and is more sustainable than ammonium salts.

Preparation

SLES is synthesized by ethoxylation of dodecyl alcohol, that is manufactured industrially from natural oils like coconut oil. The final ethoxylate is transformed to a half ester of sulfuric acid, that is neutralized by changing it to the sodium salt.

Market

flourish knowledge of people due to cleanliness all over the world will likely augment demands for sodium lauryl ether sulfate or SLES market in recent years. Global appeal for laundry detergents was around 30 million tons in 2015 and will speed up at over 5% CAGR in years ahead.
