​Sodium laureth sulfate

When it comes to sodium laureth sulfate, most people are very confused, but if you have carefully looked at the detergents and shampoos in your home, you will find that this is one of the substances. It is widely used in daily necessities and is also widely used in industries such as textiles and petroleum. So today I’d like to introduce to you this substance, sodium laureth sulfate.

First, basic information.

Sodium laureth sulfate Sodium laureth sulfate, English abbreviation: AES, is a white or light yellow gel paste or colorless or light yellow liquid. It is commonly used in daily chemical industries such as liquid detergent, table detergent, shampoo, bath detergent, etc. It is also used in textile, papermaking, leather, machinery, oil extraction and other industries. National Standard: GB/T 13529-2003 Classification: High concentration product: Type 70. Low concentration product: 28 type. Appearance: Type 70: White or light yellow gel paste at 25°C. Type 28: Colorless or light yellow liquid at 25°C. Odor: No unusual odor. Performance: Easily soluble in water, with excellent cleaning, emulsification, foaming and hard water resistance properties, and good biodegradability.

Second use.

Widely used in daily chemical, textile, petroleum, leather, printing and dyeing and other industries. Used for washing, emulsifying, wetting, dyeing, diffusion, etc. It has excellent biodegradability and low temperature performance, a high content of active matter, and is not affected by water hardness. Especially as a detergent raw material, it is not only suitable for various powdered detergent products, but also suitable for various detergents, such as laundry creams (agents) of various models and uses, detergents, dry cleaning agents, cleaning agents, removers, laundry creams, shampoos (lotions) and various shampoos, etc.

The third hazard.

At concentrations below 0.5%, these chemicals aren't noticeably harmful, but above that, they can dry out your skin. Many detergents with good foaming effects have far exceeded the 0.5% standard. So how do they harm your health? First, they destroy the natural oils that protect the skin's surface, and then they damage the skin's proteins, including collagen, causing skin sensitivity. Pollutants in our living environment can easily enter the inner layer of the skin and cause other skin problems. Shampoo containing this ingredient can also easily cause dandruff and itchy scalp. As the requirements for detergents in mainland China catch up with the standards of industrialized and emerging market countries, we can also see ingredient details in detergents that we have never seen in the past.
