Key Characteristics
  • Chemical Name: Linear Alkylbenzene
  • Chemical Formula: C₆H₅–CₙH₂ₙ₊₁ (typically C₁₀–C₁₄ alkyl chain)
  • Appearance: Clear to colourless liquid
  • Odour: Mild aromatic smell
  • Boiling Range: Approx. 280–320°C
  • Flash Point: ~140–150°C (closed cup)
  • Density: ~0.86–0.88 g/cm³
  • Solubility: Insoluble in water; soluble in organic solvents
  • Biodegradability: High (readily biodegradable due to linear structure)


Functional Properties
  • Excellent precursor for producing Linear Alkylbenzene Sulfonate (LAS), a widely used biodegradable surfactant
  • High detergency and foaming characteristics
  • Good solubilizing and emulsifying capability
  • Chemically stable under normal handling conditions
  • Low toxicity compared to branched alkylbenzene alternatives
  • Superior environmental performance due to linear molecular structure                  

Common Applications
Detergent & Cleaning Industry
  • Primary raw material for LAS surfactants
  • Used in household detergents: laundry powders, liquids, dishwashing liquids
