Product Description

General description:

Chemical Formula: C6H5CHR1R2

Linear alkylbenzene sulfonic acid, also known as LABSA, exist as a yellow liquid that is soluble in water and non-volatile. It is also bio-degradable and hence easily distinguished from alkylbenzene sulfonate by its linear, straight chain structure. Linear alkylbenzene sulfonic acid is the largest-volume synthetic surfactant because of its relatively low cost and good performance.

Application & Usage:

Surfactant: Household detergents including laundry powders, laundry liquids, dishwashing liquids and other household cleaners. Industrial applications of wetting agent, emulsifier for agricultural herbicides and in polymerization.

Packing250Kg Drum

High Performance and Versatility

LABSA stands out for its excellent active matter content and exceptional compatibility with both nonionic and anionic surfactants. Its stable performance and high solubility in water make it a practical choice as a raw material for liquid and powder detergents, industrial cleaners, and specialty formulations in many sectors.

Eco-Friendly and Safe for Industrial Use

This product is readily biodegradable and non-toxic when used appropriately, meeting modern environmental requirements. Although corrosive, it is safe for use with appropriate handling precautions. LABSA provides a reliable, eco-conscious solution for cleaning and emulsifying applications.

Efficient Packaging and Storage

To ensure safety and maintain quality, LABSA is packed in 200kg plastic drums or 1000kg IBC tanks. It should be stored in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated environment away from sunlight to preserve its properties and extend shelf life up to 12 months.

FAQs of Linear Alkylbenzene Sulfonic Acid (LABSA):

Q: How is Linear Alkylbenzene Sulfonic Acid (LABSA) typically used in industry?

A: LABSA is primarily used as a raw material in the production of synthetic detergents, including liquid and powder cleaning agents. It is also essential in textile, paper, leather, and agricultural chemical industries as an effective emulsifying and cleaning agent.

Q: What are the primary benefits of using LABSA in detergent formulations?

A: LABSA offers excellent detergency, high solubility in water, and compatibility with other surfactants, making it highly effective in removing dirt and stains. Its biodegradable nature also supports more sustainable and environmentally-friendly product formulations.

Q: When should LABSA be handled with extra caution?

A: Although non-toxic, LABSA is corrosive and can cause irritation upon contact with skin, eyes, or if inhaled. It should be handled using appropriate protective equipment and stored properly to avoid accidental contact or spills.

Q: Where should LABSA be stored to maintain its quality?

A: Store LABSA in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated location in tightly closed containers, away from direct sunlight, to preserve its chemical stability and prolong its shelf life up to 12 months.

Q: What is the recommended process for incorporating LABSA into detergent manufacturing?

A: LABSA should be diluted and neutralized (usually with caustic soda) before blending with other detergent ingredients. This process ensures optimal performance and minimizes the risks associated with handling the acidic raw material.

Q: How does LABSA contribute to sustainability in cleaning products?

A: LABSA is readily biodegradable, breaking down quickly in the environment. Its use supports the formulation of cleaning and detergency products that are effective yet less impactful on ecosystems compared to less biodegradable alternatives.
