Other basic surfactants


Linear alkyl benzene sulfonate and alkane sulfonate are very powerful surfactants with good detergency and foaming properties. However, due to their strong defatting action, they leave a harsh and dry feel on skin and hair. For very cheap formulations, small amounts can he used to reduce the costs of raw materials. Their main use is in dish-washing liquids and all purpose cleaners.
