Linear alkyl benzenesulphonate #CAS42615-29-2

Linear alkyl benzene sulfonic acid (LABSA) is an organic sulfonic acid and an anionic surfactant. It is a strong organic acid, and will release heat obviously when dissolved in water. It has excellent surface activity, with outstanding wetting, emulsifying, dispersing and foaming properties. It can react with alkaline substances such as sodium hydroxide, triethanolamine to form corresponding sulfonate salts, which are the main effective cleaning components. It keeps stable under normal sealed storage conditions, but it will slowly decompose when exposed to high temperature for a long time. It has good compatibility with nonionic surfactants and various inorganic builders, but it will have neutralization reaction with alkaline raw materials. It is corrosive to skin, eyes and metal materials. It is soluble in water and partially soluble in some organic solvents. It will lose its surface activity when mixed with strong oxidants and undergo oxidative degradation.

Applicaion of Linear alkyl benzenesulphonate

Linear alkyl benzene sulfonic acid (LABSA) is a fundamental anionic surfactant raw material widely used in the surfactant industry. It is mainly neutralized with alkaline substances such as sodium hydroxide to produce sodium linear alkyl benzene sulfonate, which serves as the core active ingredient for detergents. It is widely applied in the formulation of laundry powder, laundry liquid, dishwashing detergent, hard-surface cleaner and all kinds of daily cleaning products. It can also be used for preparing industrial cleaning agents for degreasing and decontamination of metal parts, textile fabrics and mechanical equipment. In textile printing and dyeing industry, it acts as a scouring agent and wetting auxiliary to remove oil, wax and impurities on fiber surfaces, improving the permeability and uniformity of subsequent dyeing and printing processes. It can function as emulsifier and dispersant in pesticide, fertilizer and coating systems to stabilize the dispersion of active components and prevent sedimentation. It is compatible with nonionic surfactants, soap bases and other cleaning additives, and different compound formulas can be adjusted to meet different foaming, detergency and low-temperature construction requirements. It is also used in the leather processing industry as a degreasing agent for raw hides. It features high active content, stable quality and relatively low production cost, which makes it the preferred raw material for most detergent manufacturers.
