3. Physical & Chemical Properties

Property Details
Solubility - Freely soluble in water (exothermic reaction, forms stable emulsion)- Soluble in organic solvents (ethanol, ether, benzene, toluene, and fatty alcohols)- Insoluble in alkanes (hexane, heptane)
Surface Tension 28–32 mN/m (0.1% aqueous solution at 25°C)
Critical Micelle Concentration (CMC) 0.008–0.015 mol/L (at 25°C)
pH Stability Stable under acidic conditions; decomposes at pH > 12 (high alkalinity)
Foaming Ability High foam volume; fine and stable foam (foam height ≥ 150 mm in Ross-Miles test)
Detergency Excellent soil-removing capacity, especially for oil, grease, and particulate dirt
Chemical Reactivity - Reacts with bases to form salts (e.g., sodium dodecylbenzenesulfonate, SDBS)- Undergoes esterification, amidation reactions- Non-flammable, non-explosive- Compatible with nonionic, amphoteric surfactants; incompatible with cationic surfactants
Thermal Stability Stable at room temperature; decomposes at > 200°C (releases SO? gas)

4. Key Applications

Dodecylbenzenesulfonic Acid (LAS) is one of the most widely used anionic surfactants, primarily applied in:

  1. Detergent & Cleaning Industry (Core Application)
    • Raw material for laundry detergents (powder, liquid, tablet), dishwashing liquids, and household cleaners.
    • Industrial degreasers: Removes oil, grease, and dirt from metal surfaces, machinery, and equipment.
    • Car wash products: High detergency and foaming ability, gentle on vehicle paint.
  2. Textile Industry
    • Wetting agent and emulsifier in textile dyeing and finishing processes.
    • Scouring agent: Removes natural impurities (wax, pectin) from cotton, linen, and synthetic fibers.
  3. Paper Industry
    • Pulp bleaching auxiliary: Enhances the efficiency of bleaching agents (e.g., hydrogen peroxide).
    • Paper coating binder: Improves the adhesion and printability of paper coatings.
  4. Emulsification & Dispersion
    • Emulsifier for pesticides, paints, and inks (forms stable oil-in-water emulsions).
    • Dispersant for pigments, fillers, and industrial slurries.
  5. Other Applications
    • Leather industry: Degreasing and cleaning agent for raw hides.
    • Petroleum industry: Oil-displacing agent in enhanced oil recovery (EOR).
    • Cosmetics: Surfactant in hair shampoos and body washes (after neutralization to salt form).

5. Advantages

  • High Detergency: Superior ability to remove oil, grease, and particulate soil compared to other surfactants.
  • Cost-Effective: Low production cost, high performance at low concentration (cost-performance leader in surfactants).
  • Wide Compatibility: Works well with nonionic/amphoteric surfactants and additives (enzymes, builders, fragrances).
  • Strong Foaming: Stable foam meets the requirements of cleaning products (adjustable via foam regulators).
  • Biodegradability: High biodegradability (>90% in 28 days, OECD 301B test), environmentally friendly.

6. Packaging & Storage

Item Requirements
Packaging 200 kg HDPE plastic drums; 1000 kg IBC tanks; bulk tankers (for large orders)
Storage Conditions - Store in cool, dry, well-ventilated area; avoid direct sunlight and extreme temperatures (5–35°C).- Keep sealed tightly to prevent moisture absorption and contamination.- Avoid contact with strong bases, oxidizing agents, and cationic surfactants.- Do not stack drums higher than 3 layers to prevent leakage.
Shelf Life 12 months from production date (when stored properly)
Handling Notes - Use forklift with drum clamp for loading/unloading; avoid dropping or collision.- Wear protective equipment (acid-resistant gloves, goggles, apron, and face shield) during handling (due to acidic corrosivity).- Rinse immediately with water if spilled on skin or eyes.

7. Safety Information (GHS Summary)

Hazard Classification Details
Physical Hazards None (non-flammable, non-explosive)
Health Hazards - Skin Corrosion/Irritation (Category 1): Causes severe skin burns and irritation.- Eye Damage (Category 1): Causes irreversible eye damage and corneal burns.- Inhalation Irritation: May cause respiratory tract irritation if exposed to mist/vapor.
Environmental Hazards Low aquatic toxicity; readily biodegradable, no long-term environmental impact.
First Aid Measures
  • Eye Contact: Immediately flush eyes with plenty of clean water for 15–20 minutes (hold eyelids open); do not rub eyes; seek emergency medical attention immediately.
  • Skin Contact: Remove contaminated clothing; wash affected area thoroughly with soap and water for 10–15 minutes; if burns occur, apply acid-neutralizing ointment and seek medical help.
  • Inhalation: Move to fresh air; keep respiratory tract unobstructed; if breathing is difficult, provide oxygen and seek medical attention.
  • Ingestion: Do not induce vomiting (risk of aspiration); drink large amounts of water or milk to dilute; seek immediate medical assistance.
