Linear Alkylbenzene Sulfonic Acid Production Cost Reports

Linear Alkylbenzene Sulfonic Acid production cost report provides a comprehensive analysis and know-how for setting up a Linear Alkylbenzene Sulfonic Acid production plant. The study covers all the requisite aspects that one needs to know for the production of Linear Alkylbenzene Sulfonic Acid. This includes manufacturing processes, raw material requirements, utility requirements, infrastructure requirements, machinery and technology requirements, manpower requirements, packaging requirements, transportation requirements, etc.

Linear Alkylbenzene Sulfonic Acid (LABSA) is among the largest-volume synthetic surfactant globally that comprises many sulfonated alkylbenzenes salts. It's commercially made by sulfonating linear alkylbenzene (LAB). They are anionic surfactants, including mixtures of benzene sulphonic acids comprising linear alkyl chains of different lengths that have molecules that are represented by a hydrophilic and a hydrophobic group.

LABSA (CH3 (CH2) 11C6H4SO3H) is a nonvolatile chemical compound that looks like a brown liquid. It is a partially soluble liquid in water. It has melting, flash, and boiling point of 10 °C, 149 °C, and 315 °C.

Linear Alkylbenzene Sulfonic Acid is extensively used in household detergents and in various industrial applications. It is a synthetic chemical surfactant mainly used as an industrial detergent. It works like a cleaning powder, washing powder, detergent powder, scouring bar, cleaning powder, oil soap, and detergent cake. Furthermore, it is used in anionic speciality formulations that improve the quality of pesticide sprays. In the textile industry, the acid finds use as a washing and mercerizing agent.

It can also be used as an emulsifier and as a wetting agent in small quantities paired with other surfactants to foam toilet soaps. In addition, due to the presence of its properties like high active matter content and miscibility with low salt content and water, the chemical can find application in the polymerization of emulsions and to produce coupling agents, emulsifiers, agricultural herbicides, and household and industrial cleaners.
