Ammonium Laureth Sulfate

ALES (Ammonium Lauryl Ether Sulfate / Ammonium Laureth Sulfate) is a versatile anionic surfactant widely used across both consumer and industrial cleaning formulations. It functions as an effective detergent, wetting agent, dispersant, emulsifier, foam stabilizer, foaming agent, penetrating agent, and solubilizer, providing high-performance cleaning and excellent formulation compatibility.
🔍 Additional Application Insights

Based on widely recognized industry usage, ALES is preferred by manufacturers for its:

1. Excellent Foaming & Foam Stability

Provides rich and stable foam in personal-care products and cleaning agents, even in hard water.

2. Mildness Compared with Traditional Sulfates

ALES is gentler on the skin than traditional SLS/SDS, making it ideal for shampoos, body washes, baby care, and pet products.

3. Strong Detergency & Wetting Power

Effectively removes oils, dirt, and particulate contaminants—widely used in automotive cleaning, textiles, and industrial degreasing.

4. High Solubility & Low Irritation

Ensures smooth formulation in both high-active and dilute liquid detergents.

5. Compatibility with Other Surfactants

Works well with amphoteric and non-ionic surfactants such as CAPB, Cocamide DEA, APG, achieving enhanced mildness and foam performance.

6. Environmental Advantages

ALES offers good biodegradability, making it suitable for eco-friendly and regulatory-compliant formulations in home-care and personal-care sectors.
