Frequently Asked Questions
What is acid slurry used for?
Acid slurry is an anionic surfactant that forms the active base of detergents. Formulators use it in detergent powder and cake, liquid soap and dishwash, industrial cleaners, and as a surfactant base and emulsifier. We supply it in bulk to detergent and cleaning-product formulators across South India.
What does LABSA stand for, and is acid slurry the same as LABSA?
LABSA stands for Linear Alkyl Benzene Sulphonic Acid, and yes — acid slurry and LABSA are the same material, also traded as LAS acid or sulphonic acid. It is made by sulphonating Linear Alkyl Benzene (LAB), which is why LAB is its upstream feedstock. We stock both.
What is the CAS number and HSN code for acid slurry?
Acid slurry (LABSA) carries CAS number 27176-87-0 and HSN code 3402 11 90. The grade we supply is LABSA 90% Active.
What does 90% active mean in LABSA 90%, and what are the key specifications?
"90% active" is the active-matter content — the figure formulators dose against when calculating surfactant charge. The grade specification is active matter (as LABSA) 90.0 ± 1.0 % mass, free oil (unsulphonated matter) 2.0 % mass max, free sulphuric acid 1.5 % mass max, colour 60 Klett units max on a 5% solution, average molecular weight 318–325, and specific gravity 1.05 approx at 25 °C. These are indicative manufacturer's published specification values (LABSA 90% industry standard) — the batch COA governs.
Is acid slurry corrosive, and how should it be stored and handled?
Yes. Acid slurry is classified corrosive (UN 2586, Class 8) and causes severe skin burns and eye damage. Store it in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area in acid-resistant containers, use PPE (goggles, gloves, apron), and keep it away from alkalis and strong oxidisers.
Who supplies acid slurry in Chennai, and in what packaging?
We supply acid slurry in drums or bulk road tanker, dispatched from our Redhills warehouse in Chennai across South India. The grade we stock is LABSA 90% Active, sourced from Reliance Industries Limited — an integrated LAB/LABSA producer, ISO 9001 certified. Order sizes depend on packaging and current stock; call or WhatsApp +91 86087 80096 for a quote, TDS or MSDS.
