Acid Slurry (LABSA)

Acid Slurry (LABSA) About

Linear Alkyl Benzene Sulphonic Acid (LABSA) is a premium-quality anionic surfactant and one of the most widely used raw materials in the detergent and cleaning products industry. It is a brown to dark brown viscous liquid with a high active matter content, typically ranging from 90% to 96%, and is recognized for its outstanding detergency, foaming, emulsifying, wetting, and grease-cutting properties. LABSA is biodegradable, cost-effective, and highly compatible with a wide range of detergent formulations, making it the preferred choice for manufacturers worldwide. It is easily neutralized with caustic soda to produce Linear Alkyl Benzene Sulphonate (LAS), the primary active ingredient in many household and industrial cleaning products.

LABSA is extensively used in the production of laundry detergent powders, liquid detergents, dishwashing liquids, floor cleaners, toilet cleaners, glass cleaners, car wash shampoos, industrial and institutional cleaning chemicals, textile processing chemicals, emulsion polymerization, and various agricultural formulations. Its superior cleaning efficiency, rich and stable foam generation, excellent emulsification, and effective removal of oils, grease, and dirt make it an essential ingredient for high-performance cleaning products.

Typical specifications of LABSA include an active matter content of 9096%, free sulphuric acid content of not more than 1.5%, moisture content of not more than 2.0%, and a brown to dark brown liquid appearance. It offers excellent storage stability when kept in tightly sealed containers in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight and incompatible materials. Proper handling requires the use of suitable personal protective equipment, including gloves, safety goggles, and protective clothing, as LABSA is acidic and can cause irritation upon contact.

Due to its exceptional cleaning performance, biodegradability, cost-effectiveness, and versatility, LABSA has become one of the most trusted and widely used surfactants in the global detergent and chemical industry. It delivers consistent quality and reliable performance, making it an ideal choice for manufacturers seeking premium raw materials for household, commercial, and industrial cleaning applications.
