SODIUM LAURYL ETHER SULPHATE 3EO

PRODUCTION PROCESS TECHNOLOGY 

SLES 3 EO is an aqueous concentrated 70 % active sodium lauryl ether sulfate derived from fatty alcohols, Description ethoxylated to an average of three moles, and sulfated Ethoxylated Lauryl Alcohol via continuous SO3 process. The consistent, high purity product made possible by this continuous sulfation process will afford excellent reproducibility in SLES 3 EO based formulas.  

SLES 3 EO is anionic surfactant, flowable paste. SLES 3 EO is a brilliant foamer regardless of water hardness. SLES 3 EO provides improved mildness over sodium lauryl sulfate without losing critical performance attributes, such as foaming and viscosity response. Its low skin irritation properties make it ideal for mild cleansing products. Products based on SLES 3 EO can be thickened with salts, betaines, or amides, with the latter two also serving to enhance the foam. SLES 3 EO is compatible with familiar used opacifying and pearlizing agents, the formulator is afforded flexibility in developing the favorite product appearance.
