Texapon is a white or yellow semi-transparent paste with a mild odor, which is sodium lauryl ether sulfate. It has good foaming properties, but the foam is light and not creamy. It is part of cosmetic and medicinal raw materials. This product is supplied in 110-200 kg barrels and exported in bulk.

What is Texapon?

Texapon is used in detergents to create foam and bubbles. Texapon acts as a basic surfactant and easily thickens with salt. This stable compound is derived from natural fatty alcohols that have a high molecular weight and waxy content.

In fact, in general, there are four types of anionic, cationic, nonionic and amphoteric surfactants, where Texapon is an anionic surfactant with excellent performance and no color. Sodium Lauryl Ether Sulfate (SLES) has excellent detergent, emulsification and plasticity properties. Texapon, sodium lauryl ether sulfate (SLES N70) is a colorless or light yellow viscous paste liquid that is odorless and easily soluble in water.

The content of Texapon is very low in salt and it has a very low viscosity when it is watery or diluted with water to the concentration of normal use. But we can adjust the viscosity by adding sodium chloride and appropriate alkanol amides. This product is marketed with two concentrations of 30 and 70%.

Texapon technical specification table

For each ethylene oxide group received, the amount of 44.05 g/mol is added to the molecular weight of Texapon. Therefore, for the sodium lauryl ether sulfate molecule that has 3 ethylene oxide groups, the molecular mass is calculated as 420.54 g/mol.

Properties of Texapon

Texapon has excellent inhibition, emulsification and plasticity. This chemical substance dissolves easily in water. It is also resistant to hard water and high biological decomposition.
