Overview

About SLS & SLES Surfactants in South Africa

Sodium lauryl sulphate (SLS) and sodium laureth sulphate (SLES) are anionic surfactants supplied as a high-active solid (SLS needles or powder) and as a liquid (SLES). They are used for their detergency, foaming and emulsifying properties across cleaning products, cosmetics and personal-care formulations, and textile processing.

Zentish Exim supplies SLS and SLES sourced from qualified Indian producers, with certificates of analysis and safety data sheets. Active content and grade are reported per batch on request. Both are classified as skin and eye irritants in concentrated form, and handling notes accompany every consignment.

South Africa is the gateway to SADC, with NRCS oversight on regulated chemical imports and SA-GHS aligned to UN-GHS. Durban, Cape Town and Port Elizabeth are the primary ports; ocean freight runs 18-25 days.
