Linear Alkyl Benzene Market Analysis, Market Size,

Application Analysis, Regional Outlook, Competitive

Strategies And Forecasts, 2012 To 2020

Growing cleaners and detergents demand in end-use industries and residential application is expected

to fuel the global linear alkyl benzene market over the next five years. Strict governmental regulations

regarding non-biodegradable materials usage is also anticipated to spur the market growth over the

forecast period. Linear alkyl benzene is manufactured from oligomerization of ethylene and is a colorless

organic compound. Kerosene is the major raw material for the LAB production and is formed as a coproduct during kerosene dehydrogenation process.

Most significant importance of the product is biodegradability. The product is mainly used to produce

linear alkylbenzene sulfonate (LAS). LAS are primarily used to manufacture detergents. LAB in its original

form is also used to produce detergents. LAB comprises optimum light yield, low radioactive impurities,

high flash points and optical transparency. On account of high flash point the product is also used to

produce neutrino detectors.

Several other LAB applications include emulsion polymerization, ink solvents, agriculture herbicides,

paint industry, as wetting agent and electric cable oil. Biodegradable nature of LAB is the most

important factor to drive the global market over the next five years. Several LAB derivatives such as LAS

also comprise biodegradability property which enhances their applications in various end-use industries

and to produce surfactants.

LAB is prominently used to manufacture house hold cleaners, light-duty and heavy laundry liquids,

laundry powders, industrial cleaners and light-duty dish washing liquids....
