Dodecylbenzene Sulphonic Acid Supplier and Exporter for the USA
Chemical Bull is a trusted Dodecylbenzene Sulphonic Acid supplier, distributor, wholesaler, and exporter for the USA, supporting detergent manufacturers, industrial-cleaner producers, coating formulators, chemical processors, and specialty formulation companies. We offer commercial quantities with suitable packaging, COA, SDS, product specifications, and shipment coordination.
Dodecylbenzene Sulphonic Acid, commonly known as DBSA, is an anionic surfactant and specialty chemical intermediate. It provides detergency, wetting, emulsification, and dispersing performance in cleaning formulations and may also function as an acid catalyst in selected resin, coating, and polymer processes.
Dodecylbenzene Sulphonic Acid, CAS 27176-87-0, is mainly used in detergents, industrial cleaners, emulsions, coatings, textile processing, and specialty chemical synthesis. Submit a bulk enquiry with your required grade, quantity, application, and USA delivery destination.
Applications of Dodecylbenzene Sulphonic Acid
Detergent Manufacturing
DBSA is used as a surfactant raw material in liquid detergents, detergent powders, dishwashing formulations, and institutional cleaning products. It supports soil removal, wetting, foaming, and grease dispersion.
Manufacturers may neutralize the acid with a suitable alkali or amine to produce application-specific sulphonate salts.
Industrial and Institutional Cleaners
Dodecylbenzene Sulphonic Acid is used in heavy-duty cleaners, degreasers, equipment-cleaning formulations, vehicle-care products, and hard-surface cleaning systems.
Its surfactant properties help improve surface wetting and the removal of oily or particulate contamination.
Emulsification and Dispersion
DBSA may be used in formulations requiring the stabilization of oil-and-water mixtures. It supports emulsification and dispersion in selected industrial chemicals, agricultural formulations, coatings, and process products.
Performance depends on neutralization level, formulation pH, supporting surfactants, and the materials being dispersed.
Paints, Coatings, and Resins
Dodecylbenzene Sulphonic Acid may function as an acid catalyst or processing additive in selected resin, coating, and polymer systems.
It may support curing, reaction control, pigment dispersion, or emulsion stability, depending on the formulation and required grade.
Textile and Leather Processing
DBSA and its neutralized derivatives may be used in textile wetting, scouring, washing, dye-processing, and leather-treatment formulations.
Processors should confirm compatibility with dyes, fibers, auxiliaries, and operating pH before commercial use.
Specialty Chemical Synthesis
The material is used as an intermediate in the production of surfactant salts, emulsifiers, cleaning agents, and other functional chemical products.
Chemical processors should specify required active content, color limits, moisture, and acidity when requesting a quotation.
Grade and Quality Approval
Before purchasing Dodecylbenzene Sulphonic Acid in bulk, buyers should confirm:
- Water content
- Color specification
- End-use application
- Packaging and delivery volume
Final approval should be based on the offered COA, SDS, and product specification.
