Sulfonic Acid
DodecylBenzene Sulfonic Acid (or LABSA linear alkylbenzene sulfonic acid) is one of the most common surfactants for detergent formulation. It has excellent cleaning properties and is inexpensive. This raw material is a mixture of molecules produced by a sulfonation reaction, which leads to mixtures containing molecules with linear carbon chains of 10 to 14 carbon atoms, linked to a phenyl group bearing the sulfonate function.
Sulfonic acid is, like sulfuric acid, a strong acid. Its chemical formula is C18H30O3S. It can be used for the manufacture of acidic detergents. Salts and esters of sulfonic acids are called sulfonates.
It is also the precursor of sodium or potassium dodecylbenzene sulfonates (LAS Linear alkylbenzene sulfonate or LABSA) by reaction with a base (sodium hydroxide, potassium hydroxide, etc.). The latter is a recognized anionic surfactant used for the manufacture of numerous cleaning product and detergent formulations. It is compatible with many surfactants of anionic, non-ionic or amphoteric nature.
We are suppliers to many companies. We offer this premium quality sulfonic acid in 20L cans and 200L drums.
