Product Description
Linear Alkylbenzene (LAB), CAS No. 67774-74-7, is an important chemical intermediate and key raw material for the production of surfactants and household detergents. LAB is typically manufactured from long-chain linear hydrocarbons through catalytic processes, resulting in a benzene ring substituted with a linear alkyl chain.
LAB is generally supplied as a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a characteristic mild odor. It offers good chemical stability and solubility, making it well suited for a wide range of downstream chemical formulations and industrial applications.
The primary application of LAB is as a feedstock for the production of linear alkylbenzene sulfonate (LAS), one of the most widely used anionic surfactants in the detergent industry. LAB is therefore extensively used in the manufacture of laundry detergents, household cleaning products, industrial cleaners, and other surfactant-based formulations.
With its consistent quality, stable chemical properties, and broad downstream applicability, LAB is an important raw material for modern detergent and surfactant manufacturing.

Application Scenarios
Linear Alkylbenzene (LAB) is primarily used as a key feedstock for surfactant and detergent production. It is widely used in the manufacture of laundry detergents, household cleaners, industrial cleaning products, and other chemical formulations.
Detergent and Surfactant Production:
LAB is mainly used as a raw material for producing Linear Alkylbenzene Sulfonate (LAS), one of the most widely used anionic surfactants in the detergent industry. It provides an important foundation for detergent formulations with excellent cleaning and surface-active properties.
Industrial Cleaning Applications:
LAB-derived surfactants are widely used in industrial cleaners, degreasers, and household cleaning formulations, where effective wetting, emulsification, and soil removal are required.
Chemical and Petrochemical Applications:
LAB serves as an important chemical feedstock and intermediate in downstream chemical processing. Its stable molecular structure makes it suitable for use in various surfactant-related chemical formulations and petrochemical processes.
Metal Surface Treatment:
LAB-derived surfactants may be incorporated into formulations used for metal cleaning and surface treatment, where they can contribute to wetting, emulsification, and removal of oils and contaminants from metal surfaces.
