Linear Alkyl Benzene Sulphonic Acid (LABSA) is produced through an indigenously designed reaction system. The process is equipped to produce consistently high quality products . The in-house developed technology has two major benefits over existing alternate technologies :

1. Reducing investment per unit of installed capacity by more than 50%
2. Reducing sulphonation costs by more than 20%

LABSA is an anionic surfactant widely used in the formulations of all types of synthetic detergent powders, liquids and cakes. Due to its high active matter, quick miscibility with water and low salt content, it finds its way into a variety of formulations.


Applications:

1. As main active matter in all forms of detergents like cake, powder and liquid formulations.
2. As emulsifier and wetting agent in small quantity with other surfactant in toilet soap for foaming.
3. In pesticides to improve the quality of spray.
