Cosmetic & Industrial Grade Ammonium Laureth Sulfate (ALES/AESA) CAS 32612-48-9 Mild Anionic Surfactant for Shampoo, Body Wash & Personal Care Cleansi

Ammonium Laureth Sulfate (Abbr: AESA / ALES, also named Ammonium Lauryl Ether Sulfate, CAS: 32612-48-9, EINECS: 209-553-4, HS Code: 3402110000) is a colorless to pale yellow transparent viscous liquid or paste, a high-performance mild anionic surfactant with typical structure RO(CH₂CH₂O)ₙSO₃NH₄ (R=C12-14 alkyl, n=2-3). We supply personal care grade, detergent grade and industrial grade products with standard active matter content of 70% and 25%, complying with international cosmetic and daily chemical quality standards. It features excellent water solubility, rich and fine foam, strong detergency, outstanding hard water resistance and good biodegradability, with lower skin irritation than conventional sodium lauryl ether sulfate. Widely used as core cleansing and foaming raw material in personal care products, household detergents, industrial cleaning and textile auxiliary industries.

Applications
Personal Care & Cosmetics Industry (Core Application)
The most widely used mild cleansing surfactant in mid-to-high end shampoos, body washes, facial cleansers, bubble baths and hand soaps. It generates rich, dense and long-lasting foam, delivers gentle cleansing without excessive degreasing, and endows hair with smooth combability and skin with comfortable moisturizing feel. Its weak acidic formula matches the pH value of human skin, being an ideal raw material for mild and low-irritation personal care formulations.
Household Detergent Industry
Core active ingredient for laundry detergents, dishwashing liquids, all-purpose cleaners and fabric softeners. It effectively removes oil and dirt, maintains stable foaming performance in hard water, improves detergency of formulations, and can be compounded with nonionic and amphoteric surfactants to achieve synergistic effect.
Industrial & Hard Surface Cleaning
Applied in industrial cleaning agents, glass cleaners, automobile cleaners, metal degreasers and hard surface cleaning formulations. It shows excellent wetting, emulsifying and dirt dispersing performance, works efficiently under medium and low temperature conditions, and is suitable for cleaning various material surfaces such as metal, glass and ceramic.
Textile & Leather Industry
Used as scouring agent, wetting agent, leveling agent and dyeing auxiliary in textile printing and dyeing processes. It improves fiber wettability, promotes uniform dye penetration, enhances washing fastness, and also serves as degreasing agent and retanning auxiliary in leather processing to improve leather softness and surface finish.
Agricultural & Pesticide Industry
Emulsifier, dispersant and wetting agent for pesticide formulations including emulsifiable concentrates, suspension concentrates and wettable powders. It improves pesticide dispersion and adhesion on crop leaves, enhances pesticide efficacy, reduces dosage, and also acts as wetting agent for foliar fertilizer to improve nutrient absorption efficiency.
Other Industrial Fields
Used as foaming agent for fire extinguishing agents, flotation auxiliary in mineral processing, and emulsifier for emulsion polymerization. It also serves as raw material for producing oilfield chemicals, construction concrete additives and paper processing aids, covering a wide range of industrial application scenarios.
