SODIUM LAURYL SULPHATE Powder "SOLVAY" Packing 20 kg. bag Sodium lauryl sulfate (SLS), is a synthetic detergent and surfactant commonly used in personal care products and industrial cleaning agents. It's derived from coconut or palm kernel oil and is known for its ability to create foam and effectively remove dirt and oil. While effective, SLS can cause irritation in some individuals, particularly those with sensitive skin or allergies. Here's a more detailed breakdown:
What it is: SLS is a synthetic surfactant, meaning it can reduce surface tension and help water mix with other substances like oil and dirt.
How it works: It's an anionic surfactant, which means it carries a negative charge. This allows it to interact with and dissolve oils and dirt, making them easier to remove during cleaning.
Where it's found: SLS is a common ingredient in shampoos, soaps, toothpastes, body washes, and various industrial cleaning products like car washes, floor cleaners, and engine degreasers.
Benefits: Foaming: SLS is an excellent foaming agent, contributing to the lather and sensory experience of many cleaning products.
Cleansing: It effectively removes dirt, oil, and impurities from surfaces and skin.
Thickening: SLS can also contribute to the thickness of certain products.
