LABSA Chemical 96% – Linear Alkyl Benzene Sulfonic Acid
LABSA chemical stands for Linear Alkyl Benzene Sulfonic Acid, a widely used anionic surfactant in the detergent and cleaning products industry.
The molecule contains both a hydrophobic alkyl chain and a hydrophilic sulfonic acid group, allowing it to effectively break down oils and suspend dirt in water.
Because of these properties, LABSA is one of the most commonly used chemicals in the production of household and industrial detergents.
LABSA 96% typically appears as a brown, viscous liquid and dissolves easily in water.
Chemical Properties of LABSA
- Chemical name: Linear Alkyl Benzene Sulfonic Acid
- Abbreviation: LABSA
- CAS number: 27176-87-0
- Appearance: Brown viscous liquid
- Function: Anionic surfactant
LABSA is known for its excellent cleaning power and high biodegradability, making it suitable for detergent formulations.
