Linear Alkyl Benzene Sulphonic Acid, or LABSA for short, has been the world's largest-volume synthetic surfactant used in the detergent industry for decades. It's a very cost-effective anionic surfactant with excellent cleaning power and compatibility with other types of surfactants.
LABSA has been the dominant active matter of synthetic detergent powder since it was developed to become a biodegradable replacement for Nonlinear Alkyl Benzene Sulfonate (BAS). It can be stably dried into a powder form, and it can also easily dissolve in water to formulate many kinds of detergents in liquid and gel form, such as Dishwashing Liquid, Laundry Detergent Liquid, and Hand Soap Liquid.
Yeser Chemicals has been partnering with leading LABSA manufacturers through a Third-party Toll-manufacturing Agreement. We can supply top-quality Yeser® LABSA 96% at a competitive price, with a capacity of 8,000 MT/ Month.
Features & Benefits:
- Excellent solubility and compatibility with other surfactants, resulting in great formulating flexibility.
- The most cost-effective and reachable synthetic surfactant.
- Great foaming, emulsifying, and cleansing ability, also with good biodegradability.
- Outstanding high-temperature stability makes it the perfect surfactant for spray tower-dried synthetic detergent.
Stability/Shelf life:
Stable. Hygroscopic. Incompatible with bases, metals, and oxidizing agents.
Pack in tight-closed containers(drums or tanks); Store in a dry, ventilated and cool place; Kept away from direct sun and water.
Under proper storage conditions, the shelf life of Yeser® LABSA 96% is 24 months.
Recommended dosage:
The recommended dosage of Yeser® LABSA 96% in household detergents is 5.0%-25.0%.
