Alkyl benzenes belong to a family of aromatic hydrocarbons. They derive from benzene. Furthermore, one or more hydrogen atoms replace with alkyl chains in their structure. They represent an important class of hydrocarbons. Moreover, the synthetic production industry relies heavily on them. In addition, manufacturers use them as the primary raw material for synthetic sulfonate detergents. These detergents appear in a wide range of household and industrial products.
These compounds are valued across multiple industries for their versatile chemical properties, including excellent thermal stability, good solvency, and high biodegradability in their linear form.
Alkyl Benzenes are widely used in the formulation of detergents and surfactants, industrial cleaners, lubricants and heat transfer fluids, as well as in metalworking and specialty chemical applications.
Linear Alkyl Benzenes (LAB) and branched Alkyl Benzenes (BAB) are the two main families, with LAB being industrially preferred due to its superior biodegradability.
Equilex supplies a curated range of Alkyl Benzene-based products, sourced from leading manufacturers, to meet the specific requirements of industrial customers worldwide.
