Libratex Series

Download Libratex Brochure

The Libratex series of anionic surfactants consists of dodecylbenzene sulphonic acid, its neutralised salts and dioctyl sulphosuccinates. These products are compatible with other anionic and nonionic surfactants and may be used as raw materials in the manufacture of a wide range of detergent products.

The Libratex Series of products are soluble in a number of liquids from aqueous to organic solvents.

The Libratex Series can be selected to perform surfactant tasks including

  • Detergency
  • Emulsification
  • Foaming
  • Dispersing
  • Wetting
  • Solubilisation

Dodecylbenzene sulphonic acid is neutralised using several alkalis to form the salts in the Libratex Series. The salts exhibit a wide range of properties making them suitable for use in a variety of applications. The sodium salts have excellent detergency for use in cleaning formulations, whilst the ammonium and amine salts are excellent emulsifiers in water soluble systems.

The dioctyl sulphosuccinate products in the Libratex Series are all sodium salts and are manufactured in a number of aqueous/solvent and solvent only carriers. This allows the flexibility and compatibility required for use in both aqueous and solvent formulations.

Products in the Libratex Series may be used in a wide range of applications including:

Detergents Libratex Anionic surfactants Textile Auxiliaries Emulsion Polymerisation Agricultural Formulations
