Linear alkylbenzene (LAB) is the most common raw material in the manufacture of biodegradable house hold detergents. LAB is derived exclusively from petroleum derivatives: benzene and linear paraffins. LAB is the primary raw material used in the production of linear alkylbenzene sulfonate (LAS). linear alkylbenzene sulfonate ( LABS ) is the major  basic raw material for the manufacture of detergents / powders &  liquids ( industrial cleaners  and household detergents ).
