Linear alkylbenzenes (LABSA) are sulfonated to produce linear alkylbenzene sulfonate (LABSA 96), a biodegradable surfactant. LABSA 96 replaces branched dodecyl benzenesulfonate, which was removed because they biodegrade more slowly.
Linear alkylbenzene sulfonic acid (LABSA) has high detergent and emulsifying properties and is compatible with other surfactants in detergent formulations. It is also the cheapest surfactant in the world and is used whenever possible in cleaning product formulations.
Features & Benefits:
- Excellent solubility and compatibility with other surfactants, resulting in great formulating flexibility.
- The most cost-effective and reachable synthetic surfactant.
- Great foaming, emulsifying, and cleansing ability, also with good biodegradability.
- Outstanding high-temperature stability makes it the perfect surfactant for spray tower-dried synthetic detergent.
Applications:
Used in Detergents
In Solid Soap
Use in agricultural herbicides
Use in Textile Industry
Stability/Shelf life:
Stable. Hygroscopic. Incompatible with bases, metals, and oxidizing agents.
Pack in tight-closed containers(drums or tanks); Store in a dry, ventilated and cool place; Kept away from direct sun and water.
Under proper storage conditions, the shelf life of LABSA 96% is 24 months.
Recommended dosage:
The recommended dosage of LABSA 96% in household detergents is 5.0%-25.0%.
