LABSA 96% Linear Alkylbenzene Sulfonic Acid, CAS 27176-87-0, Industrial Grade
Buyer-facing sourcing candidate for LABSA 96% minimum, identified as linear alkylbenzene sulfonic acid under CAS 27176-87-0 and EINECS 248-289-4. The listing should be treated as a surfactant feedstock enquiry item, with special attention to confirming the product identity because the raw title references sulfuric acid while the extracted specifications indicate LABSA. Suitable RFQs should request COA, SDS, impurity profile, free acid/free oil data, active matter basis, packing details, DG classification, export documentation, and shipment terms before commercial evaluation.

How we compare
Sourcing options
Request 1 kg or supplier-standard sample with matching sample COA before bulk order
Start with a trial order after SDS, COA, DG classification, and impurity data are reviewed
Use third-party pre-shipment inspection for first shipment or new supplier qualification
Compare drum packing versus IBC or bulk options if supplier can support alternate packaging
Request FOB China port and CIF destination-port quotations for freight comparison
Ask supplier to quote by active matter basis and by net delivered weight to avoid specification ambiguity
Human review
Compliance notes
Verify product identity carefully: raw title mentions sulfuric acid, while CAS 27176-87-0 and EINECS 248-289-4 indicate LABSA
Request latest SDS in GHS format, COA, TDS/specification sheet, packing list template, commercial invoice template, and certificate of origin if needed
Confirm transport classification, UN number, packing group, hazard class, marine pollutant status, and DG declaration requirements before booking freight
Check free sulfuric acid content, active matter, water content, free oil, color, and any inorganic sulfate limits against the buyer’s internal specification
Confirm REACH, TSCA, KKDIK, UK REACH, or other market-entry documentation only where applicable; do not rely on marketplace claims as regulatory proof
Confirm whether the supplier can provide batch traceability and pre-shipment third-party inspection if required
Import classification, customs clearance, and end-use compliance should be confirmed by the buyer’s local regulatory and logistics teams
