Industrial Process Economics Reports About Sodium Lauryl Ether Sulfate (SLES) Sodium Lauryl Ether Sulfate (SLES), or Sodium Laureth Sulfate (SLS), is a detergent and surfactant used in personal care products (soaps, shampoos). SLES is an effective foaming agent. The Intratec portfolio (www.intratec.us/our-portfolio) includes reports examining specific SLES production processes. Each report presents one-time costs associated with the construction of an industrial plant and the continuing costs associated with the daily operation of such a plant. General
