About Product
A biodegradable surfactant called Linear Alkylbenzene Sulfonic Acid (LABSA) is widely used in the manufacturing of detergents, emulsifiers, and cleaning agents such as laundry powder, dishwashing liquids, and household cleaners. Due to its amphiphilic nature — containing both hydrophobic and hydrophilic groups — LABSA serves as an effective cleaning and foaming agent. It is an eco-friendly and cost-efficient substitute for nonlinear alkylbenzene sulfonates, making it a preferred choice across home care and industrial applications.
