LABSA
(Linear alkylbenzene sulfonic acid)

What is LABSA (Linear alkyl benzene sulfonic acid)?

LABSA is a sticky, viscous brown liquid. It is a synthetic chemical surfactant, which is synthesized through the sulfonation process. LABSA is soluble in water, alcohols, glycols, glycol ethers, esters, ketones, aromatic and aliphatic hydrocarbons.

Linear alkyl benzene sulfonic acid (LABSA), has different chemical and physical properties based on the length of the alkyl chain. So, it has a variety of formulations and many applications. It is mostly used in household detergents. Plus, this product is used in numerous industrial applications as an emulsifier and as a wetting agent.
