Apart from the performance characteristics of alpha olefin sulfonates, such as foaming properties and mildness to the skin, its biodegradability boosts its use as an alternative to linear
alkylbenzene sulfonates in a variety of personal care products.

alkylbenzene lubricant oil.
as a new producer of linear
alkylbenzene sulfonate, coconut fatty alcohol sulfate and sodium lauryl ether sulfate with a total sulfonation capacity of 40,000 metric tons annually.
As a new manufacturer of linear
alkylbenzene sulfonate (LABS), coconut fatty alcohol sulfate (CFAS) and sodium lauryl ether sulfate (SLES), BBBDI's project, which started operations in October, has a total sulfonation capacity of 40,000 metric tons per year and employs 102 personnel.
The unit produces linear
alkylbenzene, which is used to make a variety of different detergent formulations, including biodegradable household detergents.
It also developed linear
alkylbenzene, which is the basis for biodegradable detergents.
This week, the company announced that it has signed a project development agreement with Cepsa of Spain for a new, world-scale Linear
Alkylbenzene (LAB) facility in Adnoc's refining and petrochemicals complex in Ruwais, UAE.
In detergent, chemocleansing agents may be composed of a mixture of cationic [i.e., dodecyl dimethyl benzyl ammonium chloride (DDBAC)], anionic surfactants [i.e., linear
alkylbenzene sulfonates (LAS), sodium dodecylbenzenesulfonate (SDBS), and SDS], nonionic surfactants [i.e., Tweens, Triton, and fatty alcohol polyoxyethylene ether (FAPOE)], and builders (i.e., phosphates, carbonates) [21, 35, 83].
The effect degree order of IFT reducing ability for group components by
alkylbenzene sulfonate (ABS) surfactants was resins > aromatics > saturates > wax [6, 49].
