Linear Alkyl Benzene Sulphonic Acid 96% (LABSA 96%)

Sulphonic Acid 96%, globally known as Linear Alkyl Benzene Sulphonic Acid (LABSA 96%) (CAS: 27176-87-0), is a high-purity anionic surfactant and the primary active ingredient used in the synthetic detergent industry. Produced through the continuoussulphonation of linear alkylbenzene (LAB) with sulphur trioxide (SO), it appears as a dark brown, highly viscous liquid with a characteristic acidic odor.

As an unneutralized acid precursor, LABSA 96% is designed to be neutralized with alkalismost commonly Sodium Hydroxide ( $NaOH}$ )to produce Sodium Linear Alkylbenzene Sulfonate (LAS), the foundational foaming and cleaning agent across consumer and industrial wash products.

Key Performance Features & Benefits

Superior Detergency & Degreasing: Delivers exceptional wetting, emulsifying, and soil-suspending action, rapidly breaking down organic fats, grease, and stubborn grime.
High Foaming Power: Neutralized LABSA yields rich, dense foam that remains stable even in hard water conditions.
Cost-Effective Active Matter: With $96%$ minimum active sulfonic content, it offers one of the most economical sources of high-performance anionic active matter per kilogram.
Biodegradability: Features a linear alkyl chain structure that ensures rapid environmental biodegradation in municipal wastewater treatment systems.
