Application
LABSA is chiefly used in the detergent industry for the manufacture of washing powder, detergent powder, detergent cake, liquid soap, oil soap, scouring bar and cleaning powder. This chemical finds applications in anionic specialty formulations. The quality of pesticide sprays can be improved from it.
Linear alkyl benzene sulphonic acid is used as a washing and mercerizing agent in the textile industry. The surface area of distempers is increased using LABSA. It is used as a wetting agent as well as an emulsifier in small quantities along with other surfactants, for foaming of toilet soaps.
Owing to its high active matter content and miscibility with low salt content and water, LABSA is used in the polymerization of emulsions and in production of coupling agents, emulsifiers, agricultural herbicides, household and industrial cleaners.
Storge & Handling
Shall be stored in a cool, dry place to maintain its stability and prolong its shelf life. Proper storage conditions are crucial to prevent product degradation, as ethylene carbonate can slowly decompose in the presence of moisture.
