How smart dilution cuts costs and CO₂

The hidden cost of SLES concentrate.

Each year, companies across the personal care and detergency industries lose thousands of euros on something they don’t even realize: transporting water.

Let’s look at one of the most common culprits — Sodium Lauryl Ether Sulfate (SLES). If your plant uses a pre-diluted version (typically 27%), you’re paying to transport more w-a-t-e-r.

And what’s worse? You’re also absorbing the 𝗲𝗻𝘃𝗶𝗿𝗼𝗻𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗮𝗹 𝗰𝗼𝘀𝘁 of that choice.


The hidden cost of pre-diluted SLES

SLES is a fundamental ingredient for many formulations. But the truth is that the way it’s handled logistically hasn’t evolved for decades.

The problem?

  • You’re tied to large-volume storage of diluted products.
  • You depend on logistics that are increasingly costly and less flexible.
  • You’re increasing your carbon footprint for something that brings no added value.

All of this leads to higher costs, less flexibility, and unnecessary emissions.

A smarter way: in-house dilution with Laurilvak®

Imagine receiving concentrated SLES (70%) and diluting it in-house, safely, efficiently, and with full control. That’s what the Laurilvak® system allows you to do.

We designed Laurilvak® with one goal: to help manufacturers save — without compromising on product quality or operational safety. Whether you store concentrated SLES or unload it directly from the truck, the Laurilvak® system adapts to your setup.By switching to Laurilvak®, companies benefit from:

  • Direct savings on purchase of raw material and transport costs
  • Reduced CO₂ emissions linked to transportation
  • Full control of dilution at the plant
  • Improved operational efficiency and space optimization
  • Same quality as pre-diluted SLES, backed by technical validation
