    Product Description

    Ammonium Laureth Sulfate (ALES) CAS 32612-48-9 is an anionic surfactant based on ethoxylated lauryl alcohol sulfate neutralized with ammonium.

    Synonyms: ALES; Ammonium Alcohol Ether Sulfate; Ammonium Laureth Sulfate.

    CAS: 32612-48-9.

    It does not have a single small-molecule molecular formula because it is a commercial ethoxylated surfactant.

    It is supplied as a liquid, commonly around 25% or 70% active matter.

    It is positioned for personal care and household cleaning formulations.

    It is used in shampoos, body washes, and shower gels.

    It is used in liquid hand soaps and facial cleansers.

    It is used in household liquid detergent systems.

    It functions mainly as a primary or co-surfactant for cleaning and foam generation.

    It is often selected for low-pH formulations, good foam quality, and mild-feeling cleansing systems.

    It differs from Sodium Laureth Sulfate mainly by the ammonium counterion.

    Confirm active matter, viscosity, pH, color, and compatibility with the target formulation.

    Store in tightly closed containers in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area, away from moisture and direct sunlight.

    Use suitable PPE when handling the material to prevent skin or eye contact and mist exposure.

    Confirm packaging suitable for the liquid form and order quantity, and follow the current SDS.

    Confirm grade, packaging, and specification as required.

    FAQ - Technical & Supply Chain

    • Q:

      What is Ammonium Laureth Sulfate CAS 32612-48-9?

      A: Ammonium Laureth Sulfate, commonly abbreviated ALES, is an anionic surfactant based on ethoxylated lauryl alcohol sulfate neutralized with ammonium. It is used as a cleansing and foaming agent in personal care and household cleaning products.
    • Q:

      How is Ammonium Laureth Sulfate different from Sodium Laureth Sulfate?

      A: The main difference is the counterion: ALES contains ammonium while SLES contains sodium. ALES is often selected for low-pH formulations, good foam quality, and mild-feeling cleansing systems where the ammonium salt offers a formulation advantage.
    • Q:

      What are the common active matter concentrations for ALES?

      A: Commercial ALES is commonly supplied as approximately 25% or 70% active matter liquid. Higher-active grades such as 70% are widely used in concentrated shampoo, body wash, and detergent bases, but the exact specification should be matched to the formulation.
    • Q:

      Which products typically use Ammonium Laureth Sulfate?

      A: It is used in shampoos, body washes, shower gels, liquid hand soaps, facial cleansers, and household liquid detergent systems. It functions mainly as a primary or co-surfactant for cleaning and foam generation.
    • Q:

      Is Ammonium Laureth Sulfate suitable for hard water or low-pH formulations?

      A: ALES is recognized for good foaming performance in hard water and is often used in low-pH personal care products. Final suitability depends on the blend, preservative system, and target viscosity or pH range of the finished formulation.
