C10-13 Linear Alkylbenzene Sulfonic Acid from Germany

C10-13 Linear Alkylbenzene Sulfonic Acid is a broad-cut anionic surfactant used in personal care emulsifiers and industrial degreasers. Its alkyl chain distribution and aromatic sulfonic acid structure qualify it as an anionic organic surface-active agent under heading 34.02. This product falls under tariff item 3402.31.90 as 'Other' since it is not specifically a sodium alkylbenzene sulphonate for the manufacture of slow dissolving toilet tank solids.
