Surfactants
 LABSA is an anionic surfactant widely used in the formulations of all types of
synthetic detergent powders, liquids and cakes. Due to its high active matter,
quick miscibility with water and low salt content, it finds its way into a variety of
formulations.
 Linear Alkyl Benzene Sulphonate (LAS) is a fully neutralized compound, which can
be directly used in formulations to provide effective detergency to the product. Its
availability in dry /semi dry form such as paste, noodles and powders improves its
transportation & usage in the industry.
