Products Description

LABSA, short for Linear Alkyl Benzene Sulphonic Acid, is an anionic surfactant.LABSA is a brown viscous liquid. Its molecules are characterized by the presence of both hydrophobic and hydrophilic groups. It is produced through the sulfonation reaction of alkyl benzene, usually with sulfur trioxide as the main reagent, and is a non - volatile compound.

LABSA 96% Linear Alkyl Benzene Sulfonic Acid For Detergent

Characteristics

Surface Activity: As a surfactant, LABSA has excellent wetting and emulsifying properties, with a low critical micelle concentration (CMC), which allows it to exhibit wetting and emulsifying effects at low concentrations.

Stability: It has good stability in acidic, alkaline, and some oxide solutions, and is well - compatible with other surfactants and additives.

Hard Water Resistance and Salt Tolerance: LABSA can maintain good stability and performance under high salt concentration or hard water conditions, with strong salt and hard - water resistance.

Biodegradability: LABSA is readily biodegradable, which is beneficial to environmental protection.

Advantage

Good Detergency: It has strong detergency, which can effectively reduce the surface tension, remove dirt, grease, and stains from various surfaces, and prevent re - deposition on fabrics in laundry detergents.

Rich Foaming Property: LABSA can produce rich and stable foam, which is helpful to enhance the cleaning effect and is often considered an important symbol of effective cleaning.

Low Toxicity: It has low toxicity, so it can be used in food, medicine, and other fields with relatively high safety requirements.

Low Cost: It is one of the relatively inexpensive surfactants, with a high cost - performance ratio, which is conducive to reducing the production cost of products.

Application

Detergent Industry: Widely used in the production of various detergents, such as washing powder, dish - washing detergent, all - purpose cleaner, etc., and is the main active ingredient of these products.

Textile Industry: Used as a cleaning agent, scouring agent, dyeing assistant, etc. It can help dyes and chemicals penetrate into fabric fibers, improve the dispersion of dyes, and remove impurities from fabrics.

Plating and Leather Industry: Used as a degreasing agent to remove oil and grease on the surface of metal and leather.

Paper Industry: Used as a deinking agent to remove ink and other impurities on waste paper.

Pharmaceutical Industry7: It can be used as an excipient in the production of certain tablets, as a binder or disintegrant; it can also be used in the production of topical creams and ointments as a solubilizing agent, and is also used in the production of pharmaceutical emulsions, suspensions, disinfectants, etc.
