Choose the SLES that suits you

SLES is produced in three major countries in the world.

China, India, and South Korea.

The biggest value of SLES in China is that it is the purest of the three markets.

SLES in India is cheaper, but the purity is still unstable, and we can never set it at 70%.

The SLES quality of Koreans is also very high, but their output is much less than the Chinese, so the price is always higher.

In China, there are dozens of manufacturers, but only the three major manufacturers guarantee the best quality. We have long-term cooperation with them because we order 10,000 tons per year to provide customers with their needs for SLES.

Finally, we should mention that you can always find a cheaper price, but for the price (70% true purity), we are still very reasonable.
