Acid Slurry

Acid slurry (LABSA – Linear Alkyl Benzene Sulphonic Acid) is primarily used as a raw material in the detergent and cleaning industry because of its strong surfactant properties, excellent foaming ability, and effective cleaning action. In India, it is one of the most widely used chemicals for household and industrial cleaning products.

Key Uses of Acid Slurry (LABSA)

• Detergent Powders & Cakes Acts as the main active ingredient, providing strong cleaning power and foaming.
• Liquid Detergents & Dishwashing Liquids Enhances wetting ability, allowing detergents to penetrate stains and grease more effectively.
• Household Cleaners Used in toilet cleaners, floor cleaners, and multipurpose liquid cleaners.
• Industrial Cleaning Chemicals Applied in formulations for heavy-duty cleaning in textile, leather, and automotive industries.

Properties That Make Acid Slurry Useful

• High Active Matter (LABSA 90%) → Ensures strong cleaning performance.
• Excellent Wetting Ability → Lowers surface tension, helping detergents spread and clean better.
• Good Foaming Properties → Provides stable foam, improving consumer perception of cleaning.
• Water Solubility → Easily blends with other detergent ingredients.
• Biodegradability → Modern LABSA formulations are designed to be eco-friendly
