LABSA - Linear Alkylbenzene Sulfonic acid

Appearance: Brown liquid

Packaging: 200 litres plastic drums

Molecular Formula: C18H30O3S

Linear alkylbenzene sulfonic acid is a highly usable synthetic surfactant due to its relatively low cost and good performance. Additional advantages are featured in the ability to be dried to a stable powder. Its straight chemical chain makes it biodegradable, adding to the environmental consciousness factor. Although some of the competitive surfactants have advantages of greater hard-water tolerance or better compatibility with enzymes, LABSA has overall more favorable properties and is often more affordable.
