Description

Sodium Lauryl Sulphate Chemical Needles 95% Foaming Agent SLS (K12 …
Sodium lauryl sulfate (SLS) needles are a form of SLS that looks like small needles or flakes and is a common ingredient in personal care and cleaning products due to its foaming and cleansing properties. This needle shape is preferred by manufacturers because it is less dusty and irritating to handle than powdered forms.

What they are
Form: SLS needles are a white to light yellow, solid form of sodium lauryl sulfate.
Chemical Composition: They are an ionic surfactant, meaning they reduce surface tension and trap oil and dirt so they can be washed away.
Purpose of Needle Shape: The needle-like shape is used to prevent dust, which can cause irritation, during manufacturing.

COMMON USES
Personal Care: Used in shampoos, body washes, toothpastes, and bath products for creating foam and lather.
Cleaning: Found in laundry detergents, rug shampoos, and other cleaning solutions.
Industrial: Used in textiles and other industrial applications for scouring and foaming.
Specialty Products: Useful in products that are sensitive to high levels of salt, like certain creams and medicated ointments, due to its low salt content.
