Description

Ammonium Laureth Sulfate is a high-performance anionic surfactant derived from lauryl alcohol ethoxylates. It is valued for its excellent foaming properties, mildness to skin, and superior solubility in water compared to its sodium counterpart. This makes it a critical ingredient for manufacturers seeking to create high-quality, stable, and luxurious-feeling cleansing formulations. It is primarily used by producers of personal care, home care, and industrial cleaning products.

Application

• Primary Surfactant in Personal Care: A key foaming and cleansing agent in shampoos, body washes, facial cleansers, and bubble baths, prized for its rich lather and mildness.
• Household & Institutional Cleaners: Used in formulations for liquid dish soaps, all-purpose cleaners, and floor cleaners for its effective degreasing and foaming characteristics.
• Cosmetic Preparations: Employed in makeup removers, shaving creams, and other rinse-off cosmetic products requiring gentle yet effective cleansing.
• Industrial & Textile Processing: Functions as a wetting agent, emulsifier, and detergent in industrial cleaning compounds and textile processing aids.
• Foam Stabilizer: Enhances and stabilizes foam in various foam-based products and applications.
• Co-surfactant Systems: Often blended with other surfactants like betaines or amphoterics to optimize viscosity, mildness, and overall performance in complex formulations.
