Technical Description & Product Overview
LABSA (Linear Alkylbenzene Sulphonic Acid) is a high-performance anionic surfactant widely used as the primary active cleaning ingredient in detergent and household-cleaning formulations. It provides excellent detergency, wetting, emulsification and foaming properties, making it suitable for liquid detergents, laundry powders, dishwashing liquids, liquid soaps, industrial cleaners and other cleaning products. LABSA is commonly supplied as a viscous brown to dark amber liquid and is typically neutralized with an alkali such as sodium hydroxide to produce Linear Alkylbenzene Sulphonate (LAS), the active surfactant salt. Chemical name: Linear Alkylbenzene Sulphonic Acid | CAS No.: 85536-14-7 | Typical active matter: ~90% | Function: anionic surfactant, detergent, wetting and emulsifying agent. As a strong acidic material, LABSA should be handled and stored according to the supplier’s SDS and appropriate chemical-safety requirements.
