Linear alkylbenzene sulfonate (LAS) is an anionic surfactant obtained by sulfonation of linear alkylbenzene. It is used in detergents, soaps, and industrial cleaning products as wetting agents and emulsifiers. Linear alkylbenzene sulfonate is cost-effective, biodegradable, and offers an excellent dissolution rate. Growing demand for biodegradable surfactants in dishwashers, laundry, all-purpose cleaners, floor cleaners, hard surface cleaners, wax strippers, dairy cleaners, degreasers, and car wash is driving the growth of the linear alkylbenzene sulfonate market. The availability of substitutes such as Alcohol Ether Sulfates (AES) for linear alkylbenzene sulfonate is one of the major restraints for the growth of the linear alkylbenzene sulfonate market.
