Linear Alkyl Benzene Sulfonic Acid for Sale

High Active Content: Our LABSA has active matter content of 96% or higher. This means you get more cleaning power per kilogram, making your formulations more effective and cost-efficient.
Cost-Effective Raw Material: LABSA is the largest-volume synthetic surfactant because of its relatively low cost and excellent performance. It helps you control production costs while maintaining high product quality.
Excellent Cleaning Performance: It provides powerful cleaning action against oil, grease, and dirt. Works effectively in both household detergents and industrial cleaning applications.
Versatile Applications: Widely used for producing detergent powders, liquid detergents, dishwashing liquids, industrial cleaners, and textile processing aids. One product serves multiple formulation needs.
Biodegradable & Environmentally Friendly: LABSA is biodegradable according to OECD standards. This helps you meet environmental regulations and consumer demand for greener products.
Good Compatibility: Blends well with other surfactants like SLES and nonionics. Works synergistically to enhance overall formulation performance.
What is LABSA Used for?
Detergent Industry (Main Use): LABSA is the primary raw material for making laundry powders, liquid detergents, dishwashing liquids, and household cleaners. It provides excellent cleaning power and high foaming ability.
Acid Cleaners: LABSA works well in acidic solutions, so it is commonly used for toilet bowl cleaners and industrial scale removers where stability in acid is important.
Pesticide Emulsifiers: When neutralized with calcium hydroxide or other bases, LABSA helps make emulsifiers for agricultural chemicals, improving how pesticides mix with water.
Industrial Applications: Used as a wetting agent and degreaser in textile processing, leather degreasing, electroplating, and paper de-inking.
Personal Care & Cosmetic Products: Serves as a raw material for producing other surfactants like sodium and ammonium sulfonates used in shampoos, body washes, and cosmetic formulations.
