Sodium Laureth Sulfate (SLES) is a versatile surfactant commonly used in personal care and cleaning products. While high active surfactants (65-70% concentration) provide storage and transport efficiencies, they also present challenges in dilution due to their high viscosity. High shear mixing with Silverson mixers allows for effective blending of high active surfactants into water, avoiding common issues like undiluted globules and ensuring a smooth, homogenous mix without aeration.
High Active Surfactants like Sodium Laureth Sulphate (SLES) are vital in products like:
🧴 Shampoo
🧼 Liquid Detergent
🛁 Bubble Bath
Diluting high-viscosity surfactants using traditional methods often leads to:
❌ Stratification in the mix
❌ Undiluted globules
❌ Time-consuming processes
The Solution – High Shear Silverson In-Line Mixers ensure:
✅ Immediate and uniform mixing
✅ Homogeneous results
✅ Faster processing times
💡 Pro Tip: Dilute High Active Surfactants before adding viscosity-modifying ingredients (01:24)
