Texapon N40 (40% liquid) and Texapon N28 (28% liquid) can be seamlessly replaced by SLES 70% Paste (Sodium Lauryl Ether Sulfate). Importing 70% high-concentration paste in Full Container Loads (FCL) reduces shipping volume by over 50%, dramatically cutting ocean freight costs per ton of active surfactant matter.
In global surfactant procurement, formulators and chemical buyers often request trade specifications such as Texapon N40 (approximately 40% active liquid SLES), Texapon N28 / AL 28 (28% active liquid SLES), or Texapon N 25. While liquid formulations offer convenience for small-scale local mixing, transporting low-active solutions across international shipping lanes creates significant freight inefficiency.
Sodium Lauryl Ether Sulfate (SLES) 70% Paste (2EO) represents the industry standard for international supply chains. By shipping 70% active concentration in steel or plastic drums, manufacturers maximize container payload, effectively eliminating the cost of ocean freight for water weight.
| Parameter / Feature | SLES 70% Paste (FCL Export) | Texapon N40 / N28 / N25 Liquid |
|---|---|---|
| Active Matter (EO 2) | 70% ± 2% | 28% – 40% |
| Physical State | Translucent White/Yellowish Paste | Clear Liquid |
| Water Weight per Container | ~30% Water Weight | 60% – 72% Water Weight |
| 20′ FCL Payload Efficiency | ~13.6 Tons Pure Active Surfactant | ~5.4 – 7.7 Tons Pure Active Surfactant |
| Freight Cost per Active Ton | Lowest (Maximum Savings) | High (Paying Freight for Water) |
| Detergent Formulations | Liquid Detergents, Shampoos, Body Washes | Liquid Detergents, Shampoos, Body Washes |
To convert imported SLES 70% Paste into a clear 28% or 40% active liquid solution equivalent to Texapon N40/N28 without forming an unmanageable gel, follow this standardized industrial procedure:
Fill the mixing vessel with warm deionized or process water (40°C – 50°C). Critical Rule: Always add SLES 70% paste to water, never water to paste.
Slowly feed SLES 70% paste into the warm water under continuous, medium-speed mechanical agitation to disperse the gel layer smoothly.
Maintain stirring for 30 to 45 minutes until the solution transitions into a completely clear, transparent liquid with zero lumps.
Adjust final pH (6.5–7.5) with citric acid and tune viscosity using Sodium Chloride (NaCl) according to your detergent recipe.
Yes. Sodium Lauryl Ether Sulfate (2EO) is the chemical active ingredient in both trade names. Texapon N70 and SLES 70% are direct 1:1 equivalents, while Texapon N40 is simply a pre-diluted 40% version of the exact same chemical compound.
We supply high-grade SLES 70% in 170kg plastic drums (19.38 MT per 20′ FCL without pallets), 220kg drums, or 1000kg IBC totes for automated industrial feeding systems.
