- LABSA, Linear Alkyl Benzene (LAB) reacting with SO3 (sulfonation). Today, LABSA is used as a primary surfactant in the production processes of liquid, gel, or powder detergents.
- It is a key raw material in the synthetic detergent industry, used in various products such as laundry detergents, dishwasher powders, detergent gels, liquid soaps, cleaning powders, and oily soaps, among others. In the textile sector, it is utilized as a mercerizing and washing agent.
- As a raw material for detergents, it is employed in the production of sodium alkylbenzene sulfonate, providing decontamination, emulsion, dispersion performance, wetting, and foaming properties. LABSA finds widespread use in the production of various detergents and emulsions, including laundry powder, dishwashing detergent, heavy-duty or light-duty detergent for tough stains, as well as in the textile, paint, coating, leather, and paper industries.
Labsa, formed from the mixture of alkyl benzene and sulfuric acid, is in a brownish liquid form. It is produced through the SO3 reaction of linear alkyl benzene and is one of the essential raw materials in the detergent manufacturing process. To obtain the desired detergent, Labsa needs to be neutralized with caustic soda and supplemented with the necessary additives.
