|
| Packaging & Logistics | Bulk Supply: ISO Tank (20-22 MT) / Flexibag / Bulk Vessel Drum Packing: New Steel Drums Storage: Store in mild steel tanks. Stable indefinitely under ambient conditions. Global shipping available. Contact us for FOB/CIF quotation. |
Royalchem supplies High-Linearity LAB with guaranteed sulfonatability (≥99%).
Your reliable partner for large-scale surfactant production.
Serving detergent manufacturers in Asia, Africa, Middle East & South America.
| Application | Description | End Products |
| Detergent Manufacturing (Primary Use - 95%+) | LAB is sulfonated to produce LABSA (Linear Alkyl Benzene Sulfonic Acid), then neutralized to form LAS - the world's most widely used anionic surfactant. | Laundry powders, Liquid detergents, Dishwashing liquids, Household cleaners |
| Industrial Cleaners | Heavy-duty cleaning formulations for manufacturing facilities, automotive, and machinery maintenance. | Degreasers, Metal cleaners, Floor cleaners |
| Textile Industry | Used as auxiliaries for scouring, dyeing, and finishing processes in textile manufacturing. | Textile auxiliaries, Scouring agents, Dyeing assistants |
| Agricultural Chemicals | Serves as emulsifier in pesticide and herbicide formulations, improving distribution and efficacy. | Pesticide emulsifiers, Herbicide adjuvants |
| Paper & Leather | De-inking agent in paper recycling; degreasing agent in leather processing. | De-inking agents, Leather degreasers |
| ⚡ Other Applications | Specialty applications including lubricant additives, electrical insulation, and electroplating. | Capacitor oils, Cable oils, Electroplating solutions |
LAB replaced branched alkyl benzene in the 1960s due to environmental concerns. The linear molecular structure enables rapid biodegradation under aerobic conditions (half-life: 1-3 weeks), preventing foam accumulation in waterways. Today, LAB-derived LAS is the world's most produced biodegradable anionic surfactant, with global production exceeding 3.5 million tons annually.
✓ EU REACH Compliant | ✓ Meets Japanese Environmental Standards | ✓ Biodegradability
