LABSA, commonly known as Acid Slurry, is the primary active ingredient (anionic surfactant) in the production of most synthetic detergents. It is responsible for creating foam, breaking down grease and oils, and suspending dirt, forming the core cleaning power of laundry powders, liquid detergents, and household cleaners.
Key Characteristics & Benefits:
-
Primary Surfactant: Provides the fundamental foaming and cleaning action in detergents.
-
High Foaming & Detergency: Effective in both soft and hard water.
-
Cost-Effective & Efficient: The most widely used surfactant globally due to its performance and price.
-
Versatile Base: Can be neutralized to create various detergent pastes and liquids.
-
Biodegradable: The linear alkyl chain allows for environmental breakdown.
