BABSA Branched Alkyl Benzene Sulfonic Acid CAS 68411-32-5

BABSA is used in the production of branched alkylbenzenesulfonate sodium, ammonium and ethanolaminesalt. It is the primary raw material used to produce washing powder, civil liquid soap, industrial cleaning agent, and other common detergents.

About BABSA Branched Alkyl Benzene Sulfonic Acid: 

Chemical structure: The branched alkyl benzene sulfonic acid structure is characterized by a sulfonic acid group connected to the benzene ring, and the side chain of the benzene ring is branched alkyl. This structure gives it both benzene rings' aromatic properties and sulfonic acid groups' strong acidity.

Strong acidity: Branched alkyl benzene sulfonic acid is a strong acid whose acidity is derived from the dissociation of sulfonic acid groups. It can fully ionize in water, forming sulfonate and hydrogen ions. This makes it highly soluble in acidic media.

Water solubility: Branched alkyl benzene sulfonic acid has good water solubility due to its strong acidity and sulfonic acid groups. It also has some solubility in polar solvents, which makes it show good solubility in many applications.

Surface activity: Branched alkyl benzene sulfonic acid has the properties of a surfactant, which can reduce the surface tension of water and make its behaviour more active at the interface. This makes it valuable in many applications that require surface modification, such as coatings, inks, cosmetics, etc.

Biodegradability: Branched alkyl benzene sulfonic acid is relatively friendly to the environment and can biodegrade to a certain extent. However, the specific biodegradability depends on the length and composition of its branch chains and environmental conditions.

Stability: Under normal conditions of storage and use, branched alkyl benzene sulfonic acid is a stable compound. However, decomposition or oxidation reactions may occur under extreme conditions (such as high temperatures, the presence of strong oxidants, etc.).

Diversity of uses: Branched alkyl benzene sulfonic acid is used in many fields because of its unique properties. For example, it can be used as an acid catalyst, a dispersant for dyes and pigments, a retarder for cement production, and an oil and gas extraction aid.

Irritant: Although the irritant of branched alkylbenzene sulfonic acid is relatively low, prolonged exposure or high exposure may still cause skin and eye irritation. Therefore, attention should be paid to personal protection during operation and use.
