📌 Applications of LABSA

✔ Detergent & Cleaning Industry

  • Household & Industrial Liquid Detergents – Key surfactant in laundry detergents, dishwashing liquids, and fabric softeners.

  • Powdered Detergents – Used in laundry powders, industrial detergents, and heavy-duty cleaning agents.

  • Household Cleaners – Commonly used in toilet cleaners, multi-purpose cleaners, and surface disinfectants.

✔ Textile & Leather Industry

  • Emulsifier & Wetting Agent – Enhances penetration of chemicals into fabrics and leather.

  • Dyeing & Printing Auxiliaries – Used as a dispersing agent for textile dyes.

✔ Industrial & Agricultural Applications

  • Emulsifying Agent – Helps stabilize oil-in-water emulsions in industrial and agricultural formulations.

  • Pesticide & Herbicide Formulations – Used as a wetting agent in agrochemical formulations.

✔ Other Applications

  • Paper Industry – Acts as a de-inking agent for recycled paper processing.

  • Concrete Additives – Used in construction chemicals to improve workability and reduce water demand.


📌 How Does LABSA Work?

  1. Strong Detergency & Foaming Action: LABSA lowers surface tension, allowing dirt and oil to be easily removed from surfaces.

  2. Excellent Emulsifying Properties: Helps in stabilizing oil-water mixtures, making it ideal for industrial applications.

  3. Versatile Formulation Compatibility: Compatible with non-ionic and other anionic surfactants in detergent formulations.


📌 Production Method & Raw Materials

✔ Raw Materials Used:

  • Linear Alkylbenzene (LAB)

  • Sulfur Trioxide (SO₃) or Oleum

✔ Production Process:

  1. Sulfonation: LAB is sulfonated using sulfur trioxide (SO₃) or oleum, forming LABSA.

  2. Neutralization: The acid is neutralized to achieve the desired pH stability.

  3. Purification & Quality Control: The final product undergoes strict quality checks to ensure high purity.

  4. Packaging & Supply: LABSA is packed in 200kg drums, IBC tanks, or bulk shipments.
