    It is mainly used as raw material for the production of sulfonic acid (LABSA) through sulfonation. After neutralization, linear alkylbenzene sulfonate (LAS) is obtained, the main anionic surfactant in biodegradable detergents. Thanks to its lower carbon footprint, it is the preferred choice for dishwasher formulations, household cleaners, and various industrial applications seeking a more sustainable profile.
