Description

Linearalkylbenzzenesulphonate(C16) CAS NO 28348-62-1 is a high-purity, C16-chain linear alkylbenzene sulfonate (LAS), a key anionic surfactant known for its excellent detergency and foaming properties. Its consistent molecular structure ensures superior performance and biodegradability compared to branched analogues, making it a critical component for formulators seeking effective and environmentally responsible cleaning solutions. This product is essential for manufacturers in the detergent, industrial & institutional (I&I) cleaning, and personal care industries who require a reliable, high-quality surfactant base.

Application

• Primary Surfactant in Laundry Detergents & Dishwashing Liquids: Provides powerful cleaning and grease-cutting action in both powder and liquid formulations for household and commercial use.
• Industrial & Institutional (I&I) Cleaners: Used in floor cleaners, hard surface cleaners, and vehicle wash formulations due to its robust performance and cost-effectiveness.
• Personal Care Products: Serves as a foaming and cleansing agent in body washes, hand soaps, and shampoos, where consistent quality is paramount.
• Emulsifier and Wetting Agent: Facilitates the mixing of oil and water phases in various emulsion systems and enhances surface wetting in agricultural and textile processing aids.
• Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR): Employed in petroleum industry formulations to reduce interfacial tension and improve oil displacement from reservoirs.
