Sodium Lauryl Ether Sulphate (SLES/Ungerol) in Kenya
Product Overview
Sodium Lauryl Ether Sulphate (SLES), commonly known as Ungerol, is one of the most widely used anionic surfactants in the detergent, personal care, and cleaning industries. It is a clear to pale yellow viscous liquid or gel renowned for its excellent foaming, cleansing, emulsifying, and thickening properties, making it an essential ingredient in numerous household and industrial formulations.
SLES (Ungerol) is typically supplied with an active matter content of approximately 70%, providing outstanding performance in the manufacture of liquid soaps, hand wash, dishwashing liquids, shampoos, body wash, bubble baths, facial cleansers, car wash shampoos, and industrial cleaning chemicals. It produces rich, stable foam while effectively removing grease, dirt, and oils, making it one of the most popular surfactants used worldwide.
Due to its mildness compared to some other surfactants and its excellent compatibility with a wide range of ingredients, SLES (Ungerol) is widely used in both personal care products and cleaning formulations.
At Dalit Solutions, we supply premium-quality SLES (Ungerol) suitable for detergent manufacturers, cosmetic companies, personal care manufacturers, industrial cleaning companies, car care product manufacturers, and commercial users seeking reliable quality and consistent supply across Kenya.
