LAB

28Edge supplies premium-quality Linear Alkylbenzene (LAB), a vital aromatic hydrocarbon used as the primary feedstock for Linear Alkylbenzene Sulfonate (LAS) — the most widely used surfactant in the global detergent industry. Sourced from advanced aromatic complexes across the Middle East and Asia, our LAB is produced through the alkylation of benzene with linear mono-olefins, ensuring high purity, excellent color stability, and consistent linearity. 28Edge guarantees reliable availability under FOB, CIF, and CFR terms, supported by SGS certification and full technical documentation.

LAB is a clear, colorless, and biodegradable liquid characterized by strong solvency and exceptional surfactant compatibility. It is used predominantly in household and industrial detergents, fabric softeners, and cleaning formulations, owing to its superior detergency, foam stability, and low toxicity. Beyond the detergent sector, LAB serves as a raw material in emulsifiers, lubricants, and specialty chemical formulations, contributing to high-performance and environmentally sustainable products.

28Edge’s LAB conforms to ASTM D2669, ISO 9001, and EN 1407 standards, with typical specifications including:

• Purity: ≥99%
• Bromine Index: ≤50 mgBr/100g
• Density @20°C: 0.86–0.87 g/cm³
• Kinematic Viscosity @40°C: 4–6 cSt
• Color (Saybolt): +20 minimum

Every batch is independently tested and certified by SGS or Bureau Veritas, ensuring compliance with global detergent and chemical manufacturing standards. The product is available in bulk shipments, ISO tanks, and 200L steel drums, designed for moisture-free, safe transportation.

As a cornerstone of the modern surfactant industry, LAB combines chemical efficiency, environmental compatibility, and performance reliability. 28Edge remains a trusted supplier of high-purity Linear Alkylbenzene, empowering detergent and chemical manufacturers worldwide with consistent supply, traceable quality, and technical precision.
