Ammonium Laureth Sulfate is a mild anionic surfactant featuring outstanding foaming, detergency, emulsification and wetting performance. It is the core raw material widely applied in daily personal care products, including shampoo, body wash, facial cleanser, hand soap and shaving foam. It can generate dense and stable foam while delivering gentle cleansing power, effectively removing surface dirt without stripping natural skin lipids, so it is friendly to sensitive skin. In household chemicals, it acts as a main cleaning component for laundry detergent, dishwashing liquid and hard surface cleaner. It also works as emulsifier and dispersant in textile, leather and paper industries to improve product processing performance. Compared with sodium laureth sulfate, this product has lower irritation and better skin compatibility. It can be compounded with nonionic and amphoteric surfactants to further optimize formula mildness and application effect, making it a common surfactant in modern cosmetic and detergent formulations.
GHS Classification: Warning
Hazard Statements: H315 Causes skin irritation; H319 Causes serious eye irritation
This chemical possesses low acute toxicity, and the oral LD50 for rats is higher than 5000 mg/kg. Direct contact with concentrated product may lead to skin redness, itching and dryness, and long-term repeated exposure will aggravate skin irritation. Splashes into eyes will cause stinging, tearing and conjunctival inflammation. Inhalation of aerosol or mist may bring mild discomfort to respiratory tract. There is no clear evidence proving its carcinogenicity, mutagenicity or reproductive toxicity under normal industrial and daily use. During handling, wear nitrile gloves and safety goggles, and ensure good ventilation. Once skin contact occurs, rinse thoroughly with running water. In case of eye exposure, flush with plenty of clean water for at least 15 minutes and seek medical help if irritation persists. Store separately from strong acids to avoid chemical decomposition. Dispose of waste materials in accordance with local environmental regulations and prevent random discharge into water bodies.
