SLES 70%

Main features of SLES 70% (Sodium Laureth Sulfate 70%):

Core performance features

High foaming ability
Produces rich, stable foam even with agitation or dilution

Excellent cleaning power
Effectively removes oils, grease, and dirt from surfaces and skin

Good emulsification
Helps mix oil and water, allowing grime to be washed away easily

Works in hard water
Maintains performance even when minerals are present

Formulation advantages

High active content (70%)
Concentrated → economical for manufacturing and transport

Easy to dilute
Can be quickly mixed with water to prepare liquid formulations

Good compatibility
Blends well with other surfactants (e.g., amphoteric and non-ionic types)

Viscosity building
Can be thickened easily (e.g., with salt in many formulations)

Product performance benefits

Mild compared to SLS
Less irritating than sodium lauryl sulfate (SLS), making it suitable for personal care products

Clear formulations
Allows production of transparent shampoos and liquid soaps

Pleasant skin feel
Leaves a smooth, clean feel when properly formulated

Physical characteristics

Appearance: Clear to slightly yellow viscous liquid
Odor: Mild
Solubility: Fully soluble in water

SLES 70% is valued because it combines strong cleaning, rich foam, and formulation flexibility, making it one of the most widely used ingredients in liquid detergents and personal care products.

SLES 70% (Sodium Laureth Sulfate 70%) is used across many industries because of its strong foaming, cleaning, and emulsifying properties. Here are its main applications:

Personal care products

Shampoos primary foaming and cleansing agent
Body washes & shower gels gives rich lather and skin cleansing
Liquid hand soaps removes dirt and oils effectively
Face cleansers used in mild formulations with other surfactants

Home care & cleaning

Dishwashing liquids cuts grease and produces stable foam
Laundry detergents (liquid) helps remove stains and oils
Floor & surface cleaners general-purpose cleaning
Toilet and bathroom cleaners assists in soil removal

Industrial & institutional cleaning

Car wash shampoos high foam and dirt removal
Degreasers emulsifies heavy oils and grease
Textile cleaning agents used in washing and scouring processes
Food industry cleaners in approved formulations for equipment cleaning

Agrochemical formulations

Pesticide and herbicide emulsifiers helps active ingredients mix with water
Wetting agents improves spreading of sprays on plant surfaces

Other uses

Foaming agent in various formulations
Emulsion stabilizer in chemical mixtures
Latex and polymer processing (as a surfactant)

Formulating with SLES 70% (Sodium Laureth Sulfate 70%) means turning a concentrated surfactant into a usable product like shampoo, hand wash, or dishwashing liquid. Below are practical, industry style sample formulations you can follow.

Liquid Hand Wash (Basic Formula)

Ingredients (% by weight)

SLES 70% → 20–25%
Cocamidopropyl Betaine (CAPB) → 5–10%
Glycerin → 1–3%
Sodium chloride (salt) → 1–2% (for thickening)
Preservative → 0.2–0.5%
Fragrance → 0.2–0.5%
Color → q.s.
Water → up to 100%

Method

1. Add water to mixing tank
2. Slowly add SLES (avoid foam)
3. Add CAPB → improves mildness & foam
4. Add glycerin
5. Adjust viscosity using salt
6. Add fragrance, preservative, color
7. Adjust pH to ~5.5–6.5

Dishwashing Liquid

Ingredients (%)

SLES 70% → 15–20%
LABSA (neutralized) → 5–10%
CAPB → 3–5%
Sodium carbonate (optional) → 1–2%
Sodium chloride → 1–2%
Preservative → 0.2–0.3%
Fragrance (lemon, etc.) → 0.2–0.4%
Water → balance

Features

Strong grease cutting
High foam
Cost-effective

Shampoo (Mild Formula)

Ingredients (%)

SLES 70% → 10–15%
CAPB → 5–7%
Conditioning agent (e.g., Polyquaternium) → 0.2–0.5%
Glycerin → 1–2%
EDTA → 0.1%
Preservative → 0.3%
Fragrance → 0.2–0.5%
Citric acid → pH adjustment (5–6)
Water → up to 100%

Features

Balanced cleansing
Mild on scalp
Good foam quality

Formulation tips

Dilution: Always dilute SLES slowly to avoid excess foam
Viscosity control: Salt is commonly used, but add gradually
pH adjustment: Use citric acid (lower pH) or sodium hydroxide (raise pH)
Foam boost: Combine with CAPB or other surfactants
Mildness: Add conditioning agents or reduce SLES %
