Sodium lauryl ether sulphate
Ethoxylated fatty alcohols are mild, non-ionic surfactants based on RSPO-MB palm kernel oil. When sulphonated, the result is the most used anionic surfactant in liquid detergents; SLES.
Innovation:
Sirius International and its partners managed to perform the ethoxylation and sulphonation steps by exclusively adding ethylene oxide from a vegetal source and sulphur exclusively from a natural source
as well.
No petrochemistry is involved in Sirius' Ethoxybrite SLES products.
As such, Ethoxybrite SLES biobased is the ideal raw material for any green, 100% sustainable, ecologically certified hand soap or other liquid detergent.
Synonyms: fatty alcohol ethoxylate sulphonated; poly oxy ethylene alkyl alcohol sulphonated; poly ethylene alkyl ether, RO(OCH2CH2)nSO3Na with R=C12-C14 and n=1-2-3, in which R is the fatty alcohol chain and n is the average number of moles ethylene oxide per molecule.
Technical:
Ethoxybrites are liquid raw materials and ideal for use in liquid detergents. Ethoxybrites should be added to water while stirring. When water is added to Ethoxybrite, the viscosity of the solution can temporarily increase.
Commercial:
Packaging: 200liter drums, 1000liter IBC’s, 24mt ISO tank container (bulk)
Sirius is member of the RSPO, the international Round table of Sustainable Palm Oil. This institution certifies palm oil products, such as soap noodles and ethoxylated fatty alcohols, which are planted, harvested and produced sustainably, with protection of nature and workers.

The Sirius Effect: Life cycle analysis of surfactants Making products more and more sustainable ? That’s what Sirius does. An accurate cradle-to-gate life cycle analysis (LCA) shows exactly how much smaller the carbon footprint and environmental impact of Sirius' bio-based products are compared to those of petrochemical counterparts. But also on which points there is still room for improvement… To what extent is one product more sustainable than another? And is a product made from organic raw materials really as sustainable as it seems? To answer that question, it is important to look further than just the usual raw materials. How energy-intensive are the different steps in the production process? What is the impact of transporting raw materials to and from the factory? What kind of waste is created during the production process, and what is done with it?

The Sirius Effect: After all of the surprises in 2021, it probably seems unwise to guess at what 2022 will bring. Outcomes of events both important and (relatively) trivial were not what we expected. But not planning for our future is no option either. In 2015, world leaders in the United Nations set their 17 ambitious Sustainability Goals. In our daily work at Sirius, we positively influence at least 12 of them. More recently, the European Union based its Green Deal on these UN Sustainability Goals. The Green Deal is poised to take effect this year, but what does it mean, and what can we expect?
