Extra Details:: Sodium lauryl ether sulfate is a surfactant that is used as an analytical agent, solubilizer, or in wastewater treatment. It can also be used as a conditioning agent and solute. Sodium lauryl ether sulfate is used in the manufacturing of detergents and toothpaste. Sodium lauryl ether sulfate has a dodecyl chain with 10-18 carbon atoms and a hydrophobic end group. The molecule measures 2-5 microns in diameter and can be divided into three parts: the hydrophilic head (sodium), the hydrophobic tail (lauryl), and the phosphate group (-O-P(O)(OH)2). Sodium lauryl ether sulfate is biodegradable and has been shown to have no adverse effects on Caco-2 cells.
