Features Of Solvay Rhodacal LSS-40/RL Surfactant

  1. Highly effective anionic surfactant based on linear alkylbenzene sulfonates (LAS) with optimized alkyl chain distribution for balanced foaming and detergency.

  2. Excellent water solubility and rapid wetting performance across a broad pH range (pH 4–12).

  3. Good electrolyte tolerance, maintaining stability and efficacy in hard water and high-ionic-strength formulations.

  4. Biodegradable profile compliant with OECD 301 standards, supporting sustainable formulation goals.

  5. Low volatility and non-volatile residue content, ensuring consistent performance in concentrated liquid and powder detergent systems.

Typical Applications Of Solvay Rhodacal LSS-40/RL Surfactant

  1. Heavy-duty laundry detergents (powder, liquid, and compact formats).

  2. Automatic dishwashing (ADW) formulations requiring low-foam, high-rinsing efficiency.

  3. Industrial and institutional (I&I) cleaning products for floor, surface, and equipment cleaning.

  4. Carpet and upholstery shampoos where soil suspension and emulsification are critical.

  5. Hard-surface cleaners for kitchens, bathrooms, and food-processing environments.
