📌 How Does LABSA Work?
Strong Detergency & Foaming Action: LABSA lowers surface tension, allowing dirt and oil to be easily removed from surfaces.
Excellent Emulsifying Properties: Helps in stabilizing oil-water mixtures, making it ideal for industrial applications.
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:
Sulfonation: LAB is sulfonated using sulfur trioxide (SO₃) or oleum, forming LABSA.
Neutralization: The acid is neutralized to achieve the desired pH stability.
Purification & Quality Control: The final product undergoes strict quality checks to ensure high purity.
Packaging & Supply: LABSA is packed in 200kg drums, IBC tanks, or bulk shipments.
