Linear alkylbenzene sulfonic acid (LABSA) is prepared commercially by sulfonating linear alkylbenzene (LAB). Linear alkylbenzene sulfonate (LAS), the world’s largest-volume synthetic surfactant, which includes the various salts of sulfonated alkylbenzenes, is widely used in household detergents as well as in numerous industrial applications. The LABSA market is driven by the markets for LAS, primarily household detergents. Linear alkylbenzene sulfonate was developed as a biodegradable replacement for nonlinear (branched) alkylbenzene sulfonate (BAS) and has largely replaced BAS in household detergents throughout the world.

Sulphur is an odorless, tasteless, light yellow solid. It is a reactive element that given favorable circumstances combines with all other elements except gases, gold, and platinum. Sulfur appears in a number of different allotropic modifications: rhombic, monoclinic, polymeric, and others. The rhombic structure is the most commonly found sulfur form. Each allotropic form differs in solubility, specific gravity, crystalline, crystalline arrangement, and other physical constants. These various allotropes also can exist together in equilibrium in definite proportions, depending on temperature and pressure. Sulphur is excellent in situations where burning sulphur is required in production processes. Recommendations are based on each individual Industrial process requiring a pure sulphur ingredient.
Storage and Handling Recommendations: Accepted handling procedures should be followed when using Sulphur. Good housekeeping is necessary when handling Sulphur products. Always use stringent dust control procedures to prevent concentrated flammable dusts from reaching a spark or flame source. Sulphur materials should not be blended and stored with strong oxidizing agents such as ammonium nitrate. Avoid extensive use of augers due to fracturing of the product.
Urea, also known as carbamide, is an organic compound with chemical formula CO(NH₂)₂. This amide has two –NH₂ groups joined by a carbonyl functional group. It is a colorless, odorless solid, highly soluble in water and practically nontoxic. Dissolved in water, it is neither acidic nor alkaline. The body uses it in many processes, most notably nitrogen excretion. Urea widely used in fertilizers as a source of nitrogen and is an important raw material for the chemical industry. Urea comes in two form of granular and prilled

Methanol is the simplest alcohol, consisting of a methyl group linked to a hydroxyl group. It is a light, volatile, colorless, flammable liquid with a distinctive odor similar to that of ethanol (drinking alcohol). Methanol is however far more toxic than ethanol. At room temperature, it is a polar liquid.

LDPE (Low Density Polyethylene) is defined by a density range of 0.910 - 0.940 g/cm3. It has a high degree of short and long chain branching, which means that the chains do not pack into the crystal structure as well. It has therefore less strong intermolecular forces as the instantaneous-dipole induced-dipole attraction is less. This results in a lower tensile strength and increased ductility. LDPE is created by free radical polymerization. The high degree of branches with long chains gives molten LDPE unique and desirable flow properties
Semi-rigid, translucent, very tough, weatherproof, good chemical resistance, low water absorption, easily processed by most methods, low cost.

HDPE (High Density Polyethylene) is defined by a density of greater or equal to 0.941 g/cm3. HDPE has a low degree of branching and thus stronger intermolecular forces and tensile strength. HDPE can be produced by chromium/silica catalysts, Ziegler-Natta catalysts or metallocene catalysts. The lack of branching is ensured by an appropriate choice of catalyst.
