Research Summary

Linear Alkylbenzene Sulfonic Acid (LABSA) is an organic compound that is commonly used as a surfactant in various industrial applications such as detergent, emulsifier, wetting agent, and foaming agent. The molecular formula of LABSA is C18H30O3S.

LABSA is produced by the sulfonation of linear alkylbenzene (LAB) with sulfuric acid. The resulting product is a highly acidic liquid that is soluble in water and has excellent foaming and cleaning properties. LABSA is preferred over other surfactants due to its low cost, high active matter, and excellent biodegradability.

LABSA is commonly used in the production of household and industrial cleaning products, such as liquid detergents, dishwashing liquids, laundry detergents, and industrial cleaners. It is also used in the manufacturing of textiles, leather, and paper products, as well as in the formulation of industrial lubricants, agricultural products, and oilfield chemicals.
