LAB (Linear Alkyl Benzene)

Product Introduction (For LABSA Production)

**Product Name**: Linear Alkyl Benzene (LAB)
**Application**: Main raw material for manufacturing Linear Alkyl Benzene Sulfonic Acid (LABSA)

Linear Alkyl Benzene (LAB) is a colorless to pale yellow transparent oily liquid, a key aromatic hydrocarbon raw material specially used for sulfonation reaction to produce Linear Alkyl Benzene Sulfonic Acid (LABSA). It features stable linear alkyl carbon chain structure, high purity, low branched-chain content and good sulfonation activity.

During sulfonation processing, LAB can react smoothly with sulfur trioxide or oleum to obtain high-quality LABSA. The finished LABSA derived from our LAB has high active matter content, light color, low free oil and low unsulfonated matter, which is suitable for formulation of household detergents, industrial cleaning agents and other surfactant products.

**Key Advantages**

1. High linearity: High proportion of straight alkyl chains, ensuring high conversion rate in sulfonation, less by-products.
2. Low impurities: Low tetralin and branched alkylbenzene content, help produce LABSA with lighter color and better stability.
3. Stable quality: Consistent carbon chain distribution, stable sulfonation reaction, easy for customers to control LABSA batch quality.
4. Good compatibility: The LABSA produced has excellent foaming, wetting and detergency performance.

**Typical Specifications**
