Application Of Sodium Lauryl Ether Sulfate In Shampoo

The main surfactant used in shampoos is to impart a shampoo cleansing action through the washing process. There are many types of such surfactants, but mainly anionic surfactants. Nowadays, the amount of ammonium laureth sulfate (AESA) and (K12A) is also very large. The ammonium salt has a high foaming rate and is less irritating than the sodium salt. Some large brands use ammonium salt as the main surfactant. Sodium lauryl ether sulfate in shampoo can be used in products for skin and sodium sulphate can be used in soap making.

Currently, the most commonly used shampoo main surfactants are lauryl ether sulfates (abbreviated as AES or SLES) and lauryl sulfates (AS or SLS), sometimes a mixture of the two. China generally uses sodium laureth polyoxyethylene ether sulfate and ammonium laureth polyoxyethylene ether sulfate, but mainly sodium salt.

The advantages of sodium salt

1. The sodium salt is less dependent on the pH of the system.

2. Sodium salt synthesis is easier and more economical.

3. The detergency and foaming power of the sodium salt is slightly stronger than that of the ammonium salt, and the formulation amount may be slightly lower.

Therefore, sodium laureth ether sulfate is a very good surfactant choice in the shampoo making process.

Difference Between Sulfate And Sulfonate In Shampoo

Sulfates and sulfonates have two things in common. First, they're all anionic surfactants. Second, they are often used for personal care applications. But there are many differences. They have different molecular mechanisms. They have different functions and they have different raw materials. Sulfates Sulfate is a compound. It has carbon bonds and oxygen and sulfur bonds. They include substances such as sodium lauryl sulfate and sodium lauryl ether sulfate. At low pH, these substances plus the c-o-s bond hydrolyze to produce alcohol and inorganic sulfate. At a high pH, sulfate is stable in the base and, if ethoxylated to a relatively high level, produces a low-foaming alkali-soluble surfactant. Sulphates can be prepared by reaction of fatty alcohol or fatty alcohol ethoxylates with reagents such as SO3 or chlorosulfonic acid (CSA). The reason shampoo becomes thick foam in the shower is that it contains sulfate. Most shampoos and household cleansers contain su...

What is Polyether Polyol

Polyether polyol is prepared by ring-opening polymerization of epoxide monomers (such as ethylene oxide, propylene oxide and 1,2-epoxybutane) and a compound containing two or more active hydrogen atoms (called an initiator). In the presence of alkali catalyst, active hydrogen compounds initiate ring opening and oxide addition will continue until the required molecular weight is obtained. The number of hydroxyl groups in polyether polyol is determined by the number of unstable hydrogen atoms in the initiator. If the initiator has two active hydrogen, glycol will be formed. The reactivity of polyether polyol to isocyanates depends on the initiator and the type of epoxy monomer that ends the ring-opening polymerization. The primary hydroxyl produced by polyol capped with ethylene oxide is more reactive than the secondary hydroxyl produced by propylene oxide, which is ideal for applications requiring rapid curing time. However, the use of initiator based on ethylene oxide and a...

Allyl Diglycol Carbonate is a Good Optical Resin Lens Material

Allyl Diglycol Carbonate was synthesized from diethylene glycol, sodium carbonate, allyl chloride and carbon dioxide. The effects of catalyst, solvent, reaction temperature, raw material ratio, reaction pressure and feeding method on the reaction were investigated, and the better process conditions were obtained. The conversion of diethylene glycol was 93% and the selectivity was 37%. The chemical is referred to as ADC. Just as many other chemical materials, Allyl Diglycol Carbonate in China also enjoys a great reputation. Allyl Diglycol Carbonate (ADC ) is a kind of monomer made from diethylene glycol. The polymer PADC has good light transmittance, light weight, high strength, wear resistance, corrosion resistance, excellent optical, thermal and mechanical properties, chemical corrosion resistance and shielding effect of r-ray. It can not only be used as optical material to replace plexiglass, but also can be copolymerized with other monomers to produce high strengt...
