Heavy Alkylbenzene (HAB)

28Edge supplies Heavy Alkylbenzene (HAB) — a high-boiling aromatic hydrocarbon obtained as a by-product from the alkylation process during Linear Alkylbenzene (LAB) production. Our HAB is sourced from advanced aromatic complexes across the Middle East and Asia, offering excellent thermal stability, high flash point, and superior lubricating characteristics. Prime Petrochem ensures reliable availability under FOB, CIF, and CFR trade terms, supported by full technical documentation, SGS inspection, and COA certification.

HAB is a dark-colored viscous liquid composed primarily of dialkylated benzenes and heavier aromatic compounds. Unlike LAB, which is used in detergent manufacturing, HAB finds its principal applications in industrial lubricant blending, transformer oils, and as an additive in heavy fuel formulations. Its strong solvency and oxidative stability make it a valuable base stock for lubricating oils, greases, and metalworking fluids, while its low volatility ensures safe handling in high-temperature environments.

28Edge’s HAB conforms to ASTM D1298, D92, and ISO 9001 standards, with typical specifications including:

• Density @15°C: 0.88–0.91 g/cm³
• Kinematic Viscosity @40°C: 10–25 cSt
• Flash Point (COC): ≥160°C
• Sulfur Content: ≤0.5 wt%
• Color (ASTM): 3–5

Each batch is tested and certified by SGS or Bureau Veritas, ensuring compliance with industrial and environmental standards. The product is supplied in bulk tankers, ISO tanks, or 200L steel drums, packaged for safe and moisture-free transport.

As a versatile and cost-effective industrial hydrocarbon, HAB plays a vital role in lubricant formulation, electrical insulation fluids, and heavy fuel enhancement. 28Edge remains a trusted supplier of Heavy Alkylbenzene, providing clients with consistent quality, dependable delivery, and full traceability across the global petrochemical market.
