What is 96% LABSA?

96% LABSA stands for Linear Alkylbenzene Sulfonic Acid with a purity of 96%, known primarily as a powerful surfactant and cleaning agent. It is a sulfonated derivative of linear alkylbenzene and widely recognized for its biodegradability, excellent detergency, and compatibility with other cleaning agents.

Produced through the sulfonation process, linear alkylbenzene sulfonic acid is a cornerstone raw material in the manufacture of household detergents, laundry powders, dishwashing liquids, and industrial cleaners.

Typical Characteristics & Grades

• Purity: 96% active sulfonic acid content, ensuring high effectiveness.
• Appearance: Clear to pale yellow viscous liquid, sometimes brownish depending on the grade.
• Density: Approximately 1.33 - 1.35 g/cm³ at 25°C.
• pH: Acidic, typically around 1.5 - 2.5 in aqueous solution.
  • Grades:Technical Grade - used in industrial applications.
  • Detergent Grade - optimized for household and commercial detergent production.
  • Specialty Grades - adapted for specific formulations or regulatory requirements.

Production Process

96% LABSA is produced by the sulfonation of linear alkylbenzene (LAB). This involves a reaction between LAB and sulfur trioxide (SO3) under controlled temperature and pressure conditions. The resulting crude sulfonic acid is then neutralized and purified to achieve the target purity level of 96%. Strict process control ensures consistent quality, minimal impurities, and adherence to environmental standards.

Common Uses and Applications

LABSA is a vital ingredient in the formulation of many cleaning and personal care products. Its high surface activity and biodegradability make it a preferred surfactant in:

• Detergents and household cleaning agents
• Shampoos and hair care products
• Industrial cleaning formulations
• Textile processing and leather treatment
• Emulsifiers in pesticide formulations
• Oilfield chemicals for enhanced oil recovery

Quality Standards and Packaging

Our 96% LABSA complies with industry benchmarks ensuring high purity and performance. Quality control includes testing for active matter content, fluidity, color, and acid value.

Packaging options:

• Industrial Grade: Usually packed in 175 kg HDPE plastic drums.
• Bulk shipments: Available in ISO tanks or flexi-bags according to customer requirements.

Packaging is designed to preserve product stability during transport and storage while facilitating safe and easy handling at the user end.
