• Linear Alkyl Benzene Sulphonic Acid is an anionic surfactant with
molecules characterized by a hydrophobic and a hydrophilic group. They
are nonvolatile compounds produced by sulfonation. Linear alkyl benzene
sulfonic acid are complex mixtures of homologues of different alkyl chain
lengths (C10 to C13 or C14) and phenyl positional isomers of 2 to 5-phenyl
in proportions dictated by the starting materials and reaction conditions,
each containing an aromatic ring sulfonated at the para position and
attached to a linear alkyl chain at any position with the exception of
terminal one (1-phenyl). The properties of linear alkyl benzene sulfonic
differ in physical and chemical properties according to the alkyl chain
length, resulting in formulations for various applications.
