LABSA (Linear Alkyl Benzene Sulphonic Acid)
LABSA (Linear Alkyl Benzene Sulphonic Acid) is a high-performance anionic surfactant widely used in the manufacture of household detergents, liquid cleaners, industrial cleaning products, and textile formulations. Liberty Chemicals Ind. Ltd. offers LABSA in two grades—LABSA 96% and LABSA 90%—designed to meet different formulation and processing requirements.
LABSA 96%: A high-active, concentrated grade suitable for detergent manufacturing and large-scale industrial applications where high surfactant concentration is required.
LABSA 90%: A lower-active grade designed for applications where easier handling, processing, and formulation adjustment are preferred.
Both grades provide excellent detergency, foaming, wetting, emulsifying, and grease-removal properties, making them versatile raw materials for a wide range of cleaning formulations.
Key Applications
LABSA 90% and 96% are commonly used across various commercial and industrial sectors:
Laundry detergents and detergent powders
Liquid laundry detergents
Dishwashing liquids
Household cleaners
Industrial and institutional cleaners
Textile processing
Degreasing formulations
General-purpose cleaning products
Key Benefits
Excellent detergency and cleaning performance
Good foaming characteristics
Effective wetting and emulsification
Excellent grease and soil removal
Suitable for a wide range of detergent formulations
Available in different active-matter grades to meet specific manufacturing requirements
LABSA 90% and 96% from Liberty Chemical Ind. Ltd. provide reliable performance, consistent quality, and formulation flexibility for modern detergent and cleaning-product manufacturers.
Measured Results
| Parameter | LABSA 95.71% | LABSA 90% |
|---|---|---|
| Active Matter (%) | 95.71 | 90.02 |
| Acid Value | 138.73 | 131.40 |
| Specific Gravity | 1.0502 | 1.0557 |
The measured 90.02% active matter confirms the targeted dilution level from the original LABSA feedstock. The reduction in acid value is consistent with the dilution process, while the measured specific gravity provides an additional quality-control parameter for product consistency.
Quality & Manufacturing
Liberty Chemicals Ind. Ltd. maintains controlled manufacturing and quality-assurance procedures throughout production. Each batch is subjected to appropriate raw-material, in-process, and finished-product testing to help ensure consistent active matter and product performance.
Storage & Handling
Store LABSA 90% in clean, compatible, tightly closed containers away from direct sunlight and excessive heat. Appropriate chemical-resistant gloves, safety goggles, protective clothing, and other required PPE should be used during handling.
For detailed safety, storage, compatibility, and emergency information, refer to the applicable Safety Data Sheet (SDS).
