DUBACID (LABSA) - linearna alkilbenzensulfonska kislina
DUBACID also know as LABSA, ABSA (alkylbenzene sulphonic acid) is a valuable organic compound.
DUBACID is obtained by sulfonation of linear alkylbenzene and utilized as a core component in the manufacturing of detergents, surfactants for ore cleaning, rubber mix modifiers, and as a foaming agent in producing urea formaldehyde foam and foamed plastic.
Note that urea formaldehyde foam insulation is a used as material for weatherizing residential and industrial buildings. This means that LABSA is key to preserving our planet’s energy resources.
DUBACID looks like a viscous fluid with a characteristic smell, from brown to almost black in color (this depends on the basic substance content). LABSA 96 % and LABSA 90% (class A and B, respectively) are most in demand.
LABSA has been a staple in global detergent manufacturing for over 30 years and has become almost the core component of detergents.
