⭐ Sodium Alkyl Benzene Sulphonate (LAS / SABS) 

Sodium Alkyl Benzene Sulphonate (LAS) is a highly effective anionic surfactant known for its strong detergency, powerful foaming capability, excellent emulsification, and outstanding compatibility with a wide range of formulation additives. It features low production cost, mature synthesis technology, and broad applications across the cleaning, chemical, and industrial fields.

LAS is easily biodegradable and exhibits excellent performance in both soft and hard water. It provides remarkable cleaning effects on particulate, protein-based, and oily soils, making it especially effective for removing particulate dirt on natural fibers. Its detergency increases with rising washing temperature, and it delivers richer foam than many nonionic surfactants.

Key Advantages 

• Strong detergency and emulsifying ability

• Powerful and stable foam, ideal for household and industrial detergents

• Excellent compatibility with builders, auxiliaries, and other surfactants

• High biodegradability and environmentally acceptable

• Works effectively in both liquid and powder formulations

• Cost-effective with mature production technology

• Effective against a wide range of soils: particulate, protein, and grease

• Stable in acidic and alkaline conditions, depending on formulation
