Linear Alkyl Benzene Sulfonic Acid (LABSA), 96%

Linear Alkyl Benzene Sulfonic Acid, 96% active, is a highly versatile chemical used primarily in the production of household detergents and industrial cleaning products. It is a key ingredient in laundry powders, laundry liquids, dishwashing liquids, and other household cleaning solutions. LABSA also finds applications as a coupling agent and emulsifier in industrial processes, including agricultural herbicides and emulsion polymerization. Recognized for its efficiency and reliability, is classified as a hazardous material under UN# 2586, Hazard Class 8 (Corrosive), PGIII, and requires appropriate handling and storage. Its widespread use in both domestic and industrial sectors underscores its importance in manufacturing high-performance cleaning and emulsifying products.

Product Specifications

Sodium Metabisulfite, 98%

Sodium metabisulfite (SMBS) is commonly used for removal of free chlorine and as a biostatic. Other chemical reducing agents exist (e.g., sulfur dioxide), but they are not as cost-effective as SMBS. When dissolved in water, sodium bisulfite (SBS) is formed from SMBS: Na₂S₂O₅ + H₂O → 2 NaHSO₃, then reduces hypochlorous acid according to: 2NaHSO₃ + 2HOCl → H₂SO₄ + 2HCl + Na₂SO₄. In theory, 1.34 mg of sodium metabisulfite will remove 1.0 mg of free chlorine. In practice, however, 3.0 mg of sodium metabisulfite is normally used to remove 1.0 mg of chlorine.
