LABSA (Linear Alkylbenzene Sulfonic Acid) | High-Quality Surfactant for Detergent & Industrial Applications

📌 Detailed Introduction of LABSA

✔ What is LABSA?

Linear Alkylbenzene Sulfonic Acid (LABSA) is an anionic surfactant and one of the most widely used raw materials in detergent production. It is highly effective in removing dirt, oil, and grease, making it a crucial ingredient in household and industrial cleaning products.

✔ CAS Number & Chemical Formula:

• CAS Number: 27176-87-0

• Chemical Formula: C₁₈H₃₀SO₃H

• Molecular Weight: ~326.5 g/mol

📌 Product Specifications

📌 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.

• 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.
