FAQ

Questions we hear often

What is the difference between SLES and LABSA?

Both are cleaning agents, but each has its own role. SLES is gentle on the hands and gives thick foam, so it goes into shampoo and liquid soap.

LABSA is stronger at removing grease and dirt, so it is the base of washing powder and floor cleaners. Dishwashing liquid usually combines the two.

Can sodium hypochlorite 12% be used at home as it is?

No. Its concentration is much higher than household bleach, which is usually between 3% and 6%. It must be diluted with water before use, and handled with gloves.

Never mix it with acids or with cleaners containing ammonia, because this releases a toxic gas.

Why does sodium hypochlorite weaken over time?

Because it breaks down gradually, faster with heat and sunlight. Store it in a dark, cool place and use it within a few months of receiving it.

Why don't you publish prices on the website?

Prices change with each shipment and with the exchange rate. Call us or write to us with the material and quantity, and we'll give you the current price.

Can I see the specifications before buying?

Yes. Ask us for the specification sheet of the shipment in stock and review it before you decide.

What does the percentage next to each material mean?

It is the share of active matter. For example SLES 70% means every 100 kilograms contain about 70 kilograms of active matter, and the rest is mostly water.
