Application

Household Products

Sodium lauryl sulfate is used in lower concentrations with toothpastes, shampoos, and shaving foams. It is an important component in bubble bath formulations for its thickening effect and its ability to create lather.

Research suggests that SLS could represent a potentially effective topical microbicide, which can also inhibit and possibly prevent infection by various enveloped and non-enveloped viruses such as the Herpes simplex viruses, HIV, and the Semliki Forest Virus

It has found application as a surfactant in gas hydrate or methane hydrate formation reactions.SLS can also be employed as leveling agent for dyeing and printing industry, and mineral flotation agent.
