PCC Chemax ABS Acid (Dodecylobenzene Sulfonic Acid)

ABS acid is an anionic surfactant of the alkylbenzene sulfonate group, in acid form. Due to its acidic form, the product is available with an active content of more than 96%. ABS acid is a light brown to dark brown liquid. Thanks to the concentrated form, it is very cost-effective in terms of reducing transport costs.
