Product Description
Alkylbenzene sulfonates are widely used anionic surfactants with excellent surface-active properties. Their molecular structure combines hydrophilic sulfonate groups (–SO₃⁻) with hydrophobic alkylbenzene chains, enabling them to effectively reduce surface tension and enhance emulsification, dispersion, wetting, and cleaning performance.
Thanks to these versatile properties, alkylbenzene sulfonates are widely used in a broad range of industrial processes and consumer products, including detergents, cleaning formulations, and other surfactant-based applications.

Application Scenarios
As a high-performance anionic surfactant, alkylbenzene sulfonate is widely used in a variety of cleaning and formulation applications.
In the household and cleaning products industry, it is commonly used as a key active ingredient in laundry detergents, dishwashing liquids, and other household cleaning formulations. Depending on the specific formulation, it can account for approximately 40%–70% of the total active surfactant content.
Alkylbenzene sulfonate provides excellent emulsification and cleaning performance, particularly for removing oils and grease. It also helps disperse dirt effectively and rinses away easily, leaving minimal residue on cleaned surfaces.
