Is dodecylbenzene sulfonic acid harmful?

Dodecylbenzene sulfonic acid also known as LABSA (Linear Alkyl Benzene Sulphonic Acid), is a crucial synthetic surfactant widely used in detergent production. It's manufactured by sulfonating alkyl benzene with sulfur trioxide.

Dodecylbenzene sulfonic acid's exceptional cleaning properties, low cost, and biodegradability make it a preferred choice for detergent manufacturers.

Is dodecylbenzene sulfonic acid harmful?

Dodecylbenzene sulfonic acid is hazardous. The concentrated solution is highly corrosive, and contact with the skin or eyes can lead to burns and injuries, inhalation of its vapour or mist may irritate the respiratory tract, and accidental ingestion can cause gastrointestinal discomfort or even organ damage; it is harmful to aquatic organisms, but linear alkylbenzene sulfonate (LAS) is easily degraded under aerobic conditions. When using diluted cleaning products (e.g. detergents) containing this ingredient in daily life, direct contact with the concentrated liquid should be avoided, and caution should be taken when exposing children, and strict protection is required in industrial settings.

 

Safety Tips of LABSA

  • Wear appropriate PPE (gloves, goggles, face shield, chemical-resistant clothing).
  • Work in well-ventilated areas, avoid skin and eye contact and prevent ingestion.
  • Handle with care, store in a cool, dry place, and dispose properly.
  • Have emergency plans in place and seek medical attention if exposed.
