Active Matter 92%
Sodium Lauryl Sulfate (SLS) is a potent anionic surfactant known for its exceptional cleaning and high-foaming properties. Ruvon supplies SLS in **Needle Form**, which is superior to fine powder as it is non-dusting, free-flowing, and easier to handle in production environments. It is the gold standard for oral care and pharmaceutical applications.
Sodium Lauryl Sulfate (SLS), often referred to as K12, is an anionic surfactant derived from coconut or palm kernel oil. It functions as a detergent, wetting agent, and emulsifier. While SLES is preferred for liquids, SLS is preferred for powders, tablets, and applications requiring a "drier" foam.
Our SLS Needles are manufactured to meet USP/BP standards for impurities.

Traditional SLS comes in a fine powder which creates significant dust clouds during handling, posing a respiratory hazard to factory workers. Our **Needle Form** technology solves this:
The primary foaming agent in 90% of toothpastes worldwide. Provides the "clean" feeling.
Used in tablet manufacturing as a lubricant and wetting agent to aid dissolution.
High-foaming active ingredient for premium laundry powders.
Used in "Syndet" bars and solid shampoo bars where liquid content must be low.
Forms dry, brittle foam that encapsulates dirt, which can then be vacuumed away.
Emulsifier for PVC, latex, and rubber manufacturing processes.
Multi-ply paper bags with PE inner liner to protect against moisture.
Shrink-wrapped pallets ensuring stability during transport.
While Needle form reduces dust, SLS is a strong surfactant.
Premium K12 Needles. High Active Matter for optimal formulation efficiency.
