Galaxy SLS Needle (Red) is an anionic surfactant in needle form. It has excellent foaming power and detergency property. It is also a good emulsifier. It is most effective under alkaline conditions (pH > 7.5). It can be used with other anionic, non-ionic or amphoteric surfactants. However, due to its anionic character, it should not be used with cationic components like cationic surfactants, cationic dyes, etc.

Storage & Handling
- Shelf Life
- 1 Year
- Storage & Handling Information
- Store the material in a clean, dry place below 35°C away from direct heat, sunlight and moisture.
- In the original sealed condition, when stored as suggested, the shelf life of the product is at least one year.
- Slight pH drop is possible over prolonged storage.
- In case of drop in pH, it is fairly safe to use the material as long as the pH is ≥ 7.0.
- Soft, easily breakable agglomerates may be formed on storage.
- Since the material is hygroscopic in nature, use the product within a week after opening the bag.
- During storage, to avoid lumping, do not stack more than 8 bags (non-palletized) one above the other and if palletized, single pallet on ground or in pigeon hole.
- Jumbo bags should be stored only with crates and should not be stacked one above the other during storage.
