Overview of Ammonium Lauryl Ether Sulphate
Ammonium Lauryl Ether Sulphate (ALES, Ammonium Laureth Sulfate) is an anionic surfactant that is used in products for personal use, for industrial cleaning, as well as special applications. It is renowned for its superior foaming characteristics, gentleness when compared to SLES, and its use in a variety of formulations. ALES is extensively used in body washes, shampoos, and industrial cleaning products.
This compound appears as a clear to pale yellow viscous liquid (typically 25-30% active solution). Its lauryl ether sulfate structure with ammonium counterion provides effective surfactant properties.
Related products include Sodium Lauryl Ether Sulphate (SLES), Sodium Lauryl Sulfate (SLS), and other anionic surfactants used in personal care and cleaning.
