Linear Dodecylbenzene Sulfonic Acid Sulfon™ 201 is a very highly active, biodegradable surfactant intermediate produced by the sulfur trioxide sulfonation of linear alkylbenzene (C10 – C13). It is recommended as a raw material for the manufacture of household, institutional, and industrial detergents. It is also a promoter for use in the manufacturing process of overbased calcium sulfonate grease and in the preparation of emulsifiers and wetting agents. Sulfon™ 201 can be neutralized with a wide range of inorganic bases and organic amines to produce a variety of sulfonates.
