Overview

About SLS & SLES Surfactants in USA

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.

US buyers source inorganic and industrial chemicals for water treatment, coatings, rubber, cleaning and process use, with industrial introduction governed by TSCA and food-contact uses by FDA rules. Los Angeles/Long Beach, New Jersey and Savannah are the main entry points; air freight runs 7-10 days and ocean 25-35 days from Indian west-coast ports.
